A little bit of Fun!!

Friends!! How are you! Much has happened since the last post, but everything good. So no worries!!
After a little bit of peer pressure, I finally joined Pinterest... holy cow, I am in love. What little time I have left over, I find myself pinning, oh dear, what are we going to do?
Anyway- The past few weeks, I have been on stress mode, yes some of it has been good stress, but sometimes, I had the stress that makes you cry. What fun it has been trying to overcome this, I have found new ways on how to relax, one thing is just hope. Hope for the best, for it is always around some corner. Even if things go the way you weren't expecting, the best thing you need is in fact hope! Let me share some good news... I officially have six more semesters until I receive my Bachelor's at the University of Utah! When people ask me what my major is, I think it is funny when I see their reaction. So everyone hold your breath, it is- Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community and a Minor in Nutrition. Whew! Did you get that! Anyway, I am so so excited to have one of my many dreams come true! It's my time to find Joy in my journey and so far, I am full of Joy and happiness.
As many of you know, my style of things right now is a bit abstract, but you know I feel it fits my personality. I was looking through my closet, clothes and shoes, and I didn't realize how many things I have been blessed with. I realized I take a lot for granted. For instance, I am grateful I have a job so I can have a fun style. I am grateful for friends and family that accept me for who I am, regardless of how many colors or patterns I am wearing in one outfit. I am grateful that I am willing to branch out to try new things. As I was sorting through things, to make it looked semi-organized, I began to realize that my favorite pattern in things are stripes. I don't even know how many stripped shirts, shoes, jackets, socks, etc. things I have, but let me tell you, they can go with anything! I bought a new shirt the other day and by gosh it was stripes, Go figure! I showed my mom and she just laughed, all she said was "What no solids this time?" Ha ha crazy me, I should branch away from stripes... and go for just solids!



(See What I mean...)
So ladies, if you haven't had the chance to try Shellac, you totally should. My awesome cousin did my nails, and I am in love! I have a fetish about not having chipped nail polish, but I swear an hour after it goes on, I chip a nail, then I get into the bad habit of picking the rest of them off. Well I have a solution to this problem... GET SHELLAC! It is like nail polish except it doesn't chip, and lasts forever. Why I haven't tried this sooner beats me, but this might become a new addiction.
Well last but not least... As my niece is getting older, I am becoming closer with her! She is my little buddy and I am her "Tacey's"! Every time I come home from something, she will come up to me and ask to dance! Heck I sure do love it! We have two songs and if we don't dance to both of them, she will try and control the mouse on the computer and start pushing buttons until both are done. We get to "Shake it" and scream out loud to our "Tooty ta" dance. Needless to say, I get the chance to speed my heart rate up and burn some extra calories.
Every moment of my life seems to be getting better, in some way or another. I have surrounded myself with great people and I have never felt so happy. The blessings my life are continuing and the love I feel for others is growing to the point where it is almost unbelievable. I am so happy that I have been able to feel a change in my life. I would like to end with a quote by President Hinkley, "Go forward with a twinkle in your eye, a smile on your face, but with great purpose in your heart."

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...

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...

How to know when to be grateful!

Happy Thanksgiving friends! Wow time has sure flown by, I want to apologize for it taking so long for me to blog... my life literally has been crazy these past few weeks. Now I am not asking for a pity party, or your sympathy, because all of the incidents that have happened to me have helped me me more grateful for the things that I have instead of the things that I yearn after. Well buckle up, I am going to take you on my adventure the past couple of weeks. This time of year is when everyone should be gathering together and celebrating with family. Well my family has been doing so, but not like one would want. In the past two months or so , my family has had two surgeries, an emergency room visit, two cars break down to where we ended up getting a new car, and a sister get married,a sister get engaged, and a sister have an ovarian cyst burst. At first we all kept asking, when will we ever get a break from this hectic way of life. Well it never will get any easier,...
