Come what may....

Friends! Well once again I don't really have a great theme for this blog, but this one might make you laugh! So I want to apologize about the randomness of my blogging!

Being a girl, it is natural to make a "list of future husband characteristics". Well, as I have looked through my journals through the my growing up, my lists have changed. I found one that I had written when I was twelve, I had to laugh out loud at what I put. I was young and had no idea what love was, and to be honest, I knew nothing of what I wanted in a spouse. I am almost positive that what I thought what I wanted was based off of animated Disney heroes!
List of a 12 year old me:
-My height               - Curly hair              -Green eyes            -Mormon               -Eagle Scout
-Big muscles            -Good style               -Funny                  -Cute                       -Has a job

Now, when I read this short list of characteristics, I just giggled, and said "Wow!" Oh being 12 and immature, this really proved I had no idea what I wanted. I moved on to another journal and found yet again, another list of characteristics that I wanted in my spouse. This time I was a little more grown up, ha I was 17. Here's to a young life!
List of a wishing 17 year old me:
-Tall     -Dark Hair     -Tan skin     -Returned missionary     -Sense of humor     -Priesthood holder    -Has a reasonable job    -Caring     -Handsome    -Athletic     -Adventurous    -Great listener     -Has a car  Can drive    -Singer     -Ripped Abs     -Loves camping     -Loves to cook     -Inventive

Well, this list was a bit more reasonable, but I didn't put all of the qualities that I listed. I sure expedted a lot of things out of my future husband. My list kept going and going. At this point I still had no idea what love was, and at this point in my life had just experienced my first kiss. I look back on those years and laugh at what could have been. This is what I call puppy dog love. All of these qualities are great and some of them I even kept. Not that I am any older now, but this time as I sat down and wrote my list, is was short and made me really really think about what I want in my future spouse. I realized that he will not only by my spouse, but my best friend, my eternal companion, my husband. I am enjoying the single life, but one day, I will no longer have to fantasize about what it will be like to have my prince charming. I will find my happily ever after soon enough! Here is to finding "the one"
List of a waiting 20year old me: 
-Priesthood holder    -Temple worthy     -Desire to be a father     -Returned Missionary    -Treats me like a princess    -Adventurous     -Handsome        -Can make me laugh    -Has an education       -Loves to cuddle    -Will hold my hand (all the time)   -Call me beautiful when I look like crap    -Be a good example to me and our family.... -The rest.... TO BE DETERMINED!

I know this list is weird, but this is the start of what I want in a husband, I will come to know the rest of the qualities when I find the guy. I can make a list and try and find him that way, but I had to be realistic, not one guy could have all of the characteristics, I am sure that my list will no longer matter when I find him! I do want certain things such as the five on my last list, those are very important to me. Well where ever he may be, I have learned over the years to be patient, and that he will come and it will be a happily every after!

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...
