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!

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...
