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."

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...
