The Last week before school... the best ever!

This was the last week before school starts again for the semester. And by far, this week has been the best week of the summer, what a great week to end a fantastic summer!
Monday: I had the wonderful opportunity to make Kelsey's bridal shower invitations, they all turned out so cute! Even though my hand started cramping up, I still had lots of fun being creative and making them. I went to family home evening with my ward and had lots of fun playing volleyball with a four square ball! I had a really fun time at Zumba doing our old routines and a killer leg and arm workout.
Tuesday: I worked at the salon for six hours then I worked at Carter's for five, wow what a day, by the end of the night I was tuckered out and popped in a movie and fell asleep watching it.
Wednesday: I went through a training program for Carter's, even though I have been working there since April, it was really fun though!! I went to Zumba that night and had fun with Cierra at it!
Thursday: I went to the morning Zumba class, and even though it was small it was a great one! I played a little bit and then I went to work while my family started the family reunion. After work, I went to my friends' band performance, ha ha after getting lost, and seeing my first hardcore band, I had quite the night, or so I thought. After the concert, we went to Wal-mart and did some shopping and then we met everyone at Village Inn for a very late night of breakfast foods. It was super fun and I laughed really hard.
Friday: Today! Wow today was really fun! My YSA ward went boating at Deer Creek Reservoir. I made new friends and there never was a dull moment. Card games, water games, volleyball (I spiked the ball oh yeah), boating, yummy food, great laughter, massage train, a little "Cum By Ya" and guitar playing, riding home in the bishop's truck, and then getting stuck in traffic at 11 pm coming home.





Saturday: I went up early to the Kevern Family reunion with my sister Lindsey. It was beautiful up there! We arrived just in time for breakfast, one of my favorites... Mountain man! I was so happy to visit with my family, catch up on things and just have fun up in the mountains. My family is the best and there is never a dull moment, there is always something going on. A year ago, my sweet cousin was taken from this world, and today would have been her birthday. As a family we all wrote messages on pices of paper and blew up pink balloons. While listening to sweet Kya sing a song that her dad recored we sent our balloons up to the air, sending her messages in Heaven. I thought I wasn't going to cry, but I did, it was very emotional for all who were there.  It was only a year ago when we were up at the family reunion that we heard the news about the horrible car accident. I know without a doubt, that this sweet, innocent little girl, is up in heaven watching over her mommy, daddy, and little brothers. I am grateful for my knowledge that one day I will be able to get to see her again. WE LOVE YOU KYA!   After that we made these sweet shirts, we tie-dyed with sharpies. Thanks to my lil sis Steph, we all figured out how to do it! There were some pretty sweet shirts, everyone is so creative and each shirt was different.

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

One of my favorite walls

There have been times that I come home from work or other places, exhausted, frustrated, and uneasy. I have always been a home body and love the comfort I get when inside. When I was preparing to move out when I got married I dreamed of decorating my own place, of hanging my own pictures, of designing the way my furniture was set up. Since I have been married almost one year, I never realized that I have one wall in particular I love to look at. It is in my bedroom, the wall opposite of where our bed sits. I see this wall as I wake up, go to sleep, start and end my day. It's not that big of a deal, and it's actually quite bare, but there are 3 things on there that I love. The first thing is a picture of my husband and I (one that I put together with the lyrics to our first dance), on our wedding day, dancing to our song, "Breathe" by Angels and Airwaves. This picture brings back the giddy feeling of being in a room full of people and the only person I had any knowl...

LIFE.

Hello friends and family! It has been so long since I have posted. Let me tell ya, mama hood takes a lot of time, which I am so grateful for. However, I had a spare minute (literally, Evie is napping right now) where I wasn't doing anything. Which quite honestly is very rare . I don't even know where to start on updates. So bare with me as this literally might be word vomit with no sense of order. First and foremost, we are HOME OWNERS! It was quite the whirlwind getting moved and settled in, but after about a month of rearranging, organizing, getting new things, our house is now a home. Going from a small two bedroom duplex to a 4 bedroom+living room+big kitchen+office+basement+3 bathrooms, we had to do some splurging. We will probably have empty rooms for a while, but sometimes it's nice to go sit in those empty rooms and escape the piles of things that are starting to appear. I still have lots to do, but I going to be ambitious and build (with my Dad and probably  Gran...
