So... it's a new year!

I know I am a little late on this post, but I have been focusing on other things. To be honest I wanted to have fun my last week before school started again. I do apologize, but please forgive me, I will catch you up on most things! I cannot believe it is yet again another year in the making! 2012 you were so great to me, but I know without a doubt that 2013 will be just as great if not better!

Here is to 2013, a new year, a new me!
I would like to share some of my resolutions, because I want to be committed to these, so that is why I am telling you! Over the past few years I have had to grow up a lot. Some of the things that made me grow up were very hard challenges that both my family and I had to go through. To this day I do not know why I went through some of the things I went through, but I will be forever grateful that I did. I am a changed person. I have never been so happy in my life, and I know that it was because of these struggles. So as I was making my resolutions for this year, I realized that I have so many things. Like many of you, I want to better my life and be the happiest person yet. So.... what are my resolutions?
.....I want to become a better person proving to others that I can do things that I say I am, make commitments, and live life to its fullest.

.............I know I don't need to lose weight, don't even get me started, but I want to be healthier  overall, you know eat better, drink more water, be more dedicated to going to the gym, and really understanding and implying my dream career into my life so that I can help others become healthy as well!
..........I will go to the temple as often as I can, no excuses! I tried this last year, and the Temple workers started calling me by name, it was such a blessing that I could go and feel at home, and so much closer to my Heavenly Father. So this year I am going on a different day, so I can get to know more Temple workers and help my personal testimony grow of the importance of temple work. I love it and I can't wait to experience this change! I also want to make it a point to go to different temples in the valley, there are four close to my house, I want to make it to more than just those ones. I want to start preparing to go through the temple, I know I may not be getting married anytime soon, but for my own endowment and to possibly go on a mission!

....DO WHAT IS RIGHT, EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING.... I have never done anything I regret, but I made this motto up and put in on a sticky note and put it in my room. I see it everyday and by seeing this, helps me recognize how strong the power of discernment is. Many things can tempt you and make you do something you will regret later. I am human so of course I will mess up at times, but by knowing that I have the choice to make everything work and make it right, is awesome! I want to be the best me I can be, so for 2013 I am going to prove it to myself. Listen to the Holy Ghost and to ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

The rest of my resolutions are simple but these are the ones that I really want to work on. These are the ones that I know will change my life for this year and many more to come. I don't want to sound like I am some high and mighty girl, but I know that these simple things will help me. I hope you all know that I love you all, and thank you so much for reading my silly blogs! I look forward to another year of excitement and joy! Old habits die hard... so family, friends, and everyone else! Go forth and do!

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...

Help me raise money for a cause (Part 1)

As many of you know, I have Type 1 Diabetes for 10 years in August 2013. For those of you who don't know, I would like to share my story (in summary). At the end of the school year while in the 5th grade I started to lose my vision. Things started to change quickly inside of my body. I was never feeling fully energized and I was constantly feeling like I had to go to the bathroom and drink lots of water. I started to lose weight and the color in my cheeks started to disappear. The first two weeks in the 6th grade I weighed a scarce 73 pounds. My eyes were sunk in and my cheek bones were poking out. My mom took me to the doctors. After a quick finger prick, they found out that my blood sugar was 831mg/dl. (Normal target range is 80-120 mg/dl) That was a very dangerous number! I was then told I had to be taken directly to Primary's; I couldn't even go home to get things. Both my mom and I were in a mix of emotions. Not long after being admitted to the hospital, I was given th...

Shiveley's take California 2015

This is our California adventure. Lots of pictures here because I didn't want to blow up your Instagram feed or Facebook feed Spencer and I have been dying to go back to California pretty much since we got back from our honeymoon. (I don't really remember the exact time though). Suddenly we were saving up and then we bought our tickets to an Angel's game as soon as they were available. We were like little kids and were counting down the days until we could go. Finally the time came for us to leave our little apartment for a few days to enjoy our vacation. We woke early on the day we left and literally hit zero traffic. Of course I drifted off for a little bit, as I normally do on road trips. While driving we came upon this huge and long cloud that covered the road. It was way neat, so naturally I snapped a picture in the midst of it. On our way there we realized we were making great timing. We arrived in Vegas around 11:30ish. We decided we needed to get out and stret...
