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...

Staying Organized with a Baby and a Budget

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope your year has started off great and I hope it continues to be wonderful! I would like to consider myself to be pretty organized. Some people may find it weird that I love to keep things tidy and have a spot for everything. I hate clutter and huge messes. Yes I know I have a baby who loves to get into everything, literally. So I have had to learn to let her be little and let there be messes. Like most people I know, I binge watched Netflix show "Tidying Up" with Marie Kondo and her KonMari Style. Although fairly organized before the show, I felt inspired to get rid of more and organize deeper. I feel SO much better when my house is clean and things are put away. Spencer always makes fun of me for this slightly OCD quality I have. As I have been taking night classes and not getting home until 9 pm I have found it easier to not want to clean up the kitchen before bed. I do it anyway. Does anyone else have to have a clean kitchen before they go to b...

Potty Training and tips

I know most of you won't care about this post, but I know my future self will be grateful for it. Potty training is so tricky and it really tested my patience. I know everyone experiences it differently and each kid is different. I did a bunch of research on tricks and tips. I didn't just stick to one, I tried a few different ones and even combined some. Let's start from the beginning. Spencer and I wanted to have Evie potty trained before our new little one arrives. I can't even begin to tell you how many people told me I should wait until the new baby came. A good chunk of these same people told me Evie was too young (she is 22 months) and it wasn't worth my time to even try. Here's the thing; I kind of get why people told me these things, but it really made me doubt my abilities to teach Evie a hard task. Let's all be kind and not mom shame those who try things differently and earlier than others. I am with her all day, every day and paid attention to a...
