The lovely October

Friends! It is October! I love the season of fall and all of the activities that come with it!
First of all I would like to say what I have been up to this past week, it was a great week, so I would love to share! (It is more like two weeks)

The Monday after the baby shower, I turned in a pretty big part of my paper for my Program design class. I was such a procrastinator for this paper and put if off. At first this paper was hard to write but once I got writing it and started designing my program, it all came together, I can only hope that my professor thinks the same! Yay for papers, well programs!

These past two weeks I was able to go to the Temple a few times. Each time I went, a huge blanket of peace embraced me. I love the feeling when I go there, it is of peace, love, and happiness! I know without a doubt that the gospel is true and that God lives, for not only one of my questions were answered, but all of them. I know that because they were answered so quickly they must be what I need to do. Let me explain. I have always thought about going on a mission. This past Thursday I went pondering that very question of going on a mission, if I needed to. Well Heavenly Father must have heard it because the first speaker of the first session (Pres. Thomas S. Monson) got up and made a historical change in the age of both sister and elder missionaries. I am now old enough to serve! What a blessing to know that I am being watched over! I am so glad I was able to hear it and indulge in the happiness of that news! The gospel is true! I am a Mormon, I know it! I live it! I love it!

On Sat. Sept. 29th my singles stake, put on a Modest Fashion show before the broadcast. I was able to do the make-up for the girls in my ward and help them feel confident to go out on the stage. It was such a fun thing! Everyone who came had a great time, it sure was humbling to see that girls who are not endowed are modest. All the girls who participated looked stunning and proved that modest is hottest! Afterward, we all went into the chapel and enjoyed the Women's Conference. Very Very inspirational!


On Sunday my family got together to celebrate Lindsey's birthday (my oldest sister!). It had been a little bit since all of my family could be together in one room. With my mom's sister and her family and my family, all 15 of us ate dinner and had a wonderful time! It was so great to see! We were loud and full of joy! I just love it when we can all be together!


On October 1, after work I went to a combined FHE with the four wards in my building to a corn maze in West Jordan. It was a lot of fun and my ward is awesome! I went in with some of my favorite people, and cruised through it. I even got hit on the head with an ear of corn, it was super hard and felt like a rock hit the top of my head, love you Kenz! I am so glad I went!


Movies! Movies are so great and there are some really good ones that are now out. On Tues the 2nd, I went with Spencer Shiveley to ParaNorman. Perfect for Halloween time, without the scary parts. It was a cute and funny movie! It was a little different but it had a great story, I enjoyed it and would go see it again. Thanks Spencer! I also saw Pitch Perfect with Colby Walker later in the week! I laughed so so hard! I really liked this movie and this is one that whenever it comes out, I am going to buy. I was dancing along with it and loved the music! It was a perfect way to end a night! Oh movies! Who doesn't love them!

This past week was the last week before my week long fall break. So you all know what that means.... ahh! Midterms. I studied for these as much as I could, when Friday came around, I felt like I was so ready to be done with them. I finished my first one early, and even got fruit snacks, my professor is awesome! The next final, my professor started the midterm 15 minutes early since we all came from the same class before. Well I finished with an hour until my next class. So Amber, Tiffany and myself went on an adventure and got some hot chocolate. It sure was such a great way to end the day. It was a bit chilly outside so having hot chocolate seemed perfect. We went to the cafe in the Marriott Library on the 1st floor... oh my! It was probably the best hot chocolate ever! Such good memories! But... now it is Fall Break, I sure am excited!

Later on Friday, I had a girls night (part 1) with Cierra Bell, and Emily Petersen. Sisterhood reunited! We didn't know what to do,so we saw a scary movie. Yes three girls saw a scary movie, and none of us like them. We saw The House at the End of the Street. It ended up being pretty twisted and way creepy. Yes we all jumped and covered our eyes just like normal girls would. Finally it was over and we still had time before we had to leave. (Yes this movie made me lose hours of sleep because I am such a chicken) So take a guess on what we did! Yup you guessed it! Girl talk for a couple of hours! We mostly talked about boys, ha ha it was way funny but it sure did help! Yay for girl talk!

Saturday, I was able to watch both sessions of General Conference. I was filled with the spirit! I am so grateful that we can hear from the Prophet and Apostles every six months, it sure is a reassurance that the gospel is true! I sure enjoyed every minute of it!

Girls night part 2! Mckenna, Cierra, Emily, and myself all went to Zupas for dinner. It was lots of fun but super crowded with a ton of women! We talked about our upcoming events that we all were going to do to together. The Howl was a big topic. We decided what the plan was and after dinner we decided what we all were going to be. Nerds! Not the candy, but you know actual nerds! We went to Wal-Mart to buy some shirts, and then we went to the mall to get suspenders. Wow I am super excited for this to come! It will be epic and we will be the cutest looking nerds out there. We also were able to talk about Spring Break, I know it's not for a while, but we want to make sure we all get it off and such. Vegas is where we decided to go! Anyway... I love girl nights, I was lucky enough to get two in a row!


My family I know I have said this before, but they are my favorite! I love them I love them I love them! All are my best friends and I know I would not be the same without them. Well that is about it! Remember, to GO FORTH AND DO!

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...
