Life as we know it...crazy!

Hey Friends!!! I was in a crafty mood this past weekend... so of course I made something!! First of all, I hit a killer sale at Michael's! I'll just say that I got all of my items for less than $8! I was very proud of myself... considering a thing of 100 sheets of paper originally cost $12, so I basically got the paper for free! I had a coupon and was able to stack that on top of all of the great sales! Anyway... I made this wreath that I am very very proud of! Supplies: 2 sheets of red card stock 2 sheets of green card stock Pearl stickers Stamp pads Tape Foam (one big piece) Ribbon How to: I traced stars on the paper, then I drew lines on the back from each point to the opposite side. Taking a ruler I folded the stars so that it came to a point. Then I rubbed a stamp pad over the stars, then I assembled them together on the piece of foam. It kinda looks like a sugar cookie! I love it! (The star idea I found on Pinterest)       Warning.... more...

Hey friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and ate lots of carbs!! Ha ha I have been thinking about what I have been grateful for, and there are so many things! This year has brought so many wonderful things to me! So if you don't mind, I am going to give you a very long list of things that I am grateful for! - My job! I love my job and all of my co-workers at South Jordan Fitness and Aquatics. I know a lot of you can say this but I am pretty sure my co-workers are the best of them all! To all of our inside joke, secrets we keep, to when we have each other's back in all things. I am so lucky to have the job I have, I look forward to it every time I work, not only to get hours but because of the friendships I have made and will continue to make. So to all my lovely co-workers, here is a shout out to you... Cierra Bell and the plans we make and the stories we tell, Corinne Cowdell and her willingness to do things, Emary Knudsen and her happy attitude, Sierra Niels...

Ok, friends, just a head's up, this post is a bit religious! So I won't be offended if you don't read it, but then again, feel free to spread it and read it over and over! I love the gospel and it is a huge part of my life. I truly know that without it in my life, I would not be the person who I am today. It helps me solve my problems, and most of all it brings me joy and happiness! So for this blog I am simply bearing my testimony that the church is true and that Christ lives! (Now would be the part to stop reading if you don't want to hear more) I have had many opportunities recently that have proved to me that the gospel is true. Nothing big like all of the prophets of old, but just little things. Time and time again when I am down or I feel like nothing is working out, I realized that I have not said my prayers for the day or even read my scriptures. As soon as I do those little things, I can feel my energy swell my body. I can literally feel the Savior put his ar...

Friends! I had a very fun week! This past week was Fall Break and boy did I enjoy it! I would love to share what I did to try and entertain myself! I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do for this week, I had made no real big plans and only a few things I was really looking forward to. By the end of the week, I was surprised how much I did and how much fun I had! Then again, there were plenty of times that I should have caught up on homework, but the only thing I did for school was a job shadow and read some of a book. Ready! Set! Fall Break! Monday: Today I had a doctor's appointment with my new doctor. One thing about getting new insurances is that you have to start all over with doctors and such. It was nice getting to now my new doctor, it was been a while since I have had a woman as a doctor, I like it! My blood pressure was very good! 112/70 woot woot! I feel so great! I also found out that I weigh less than I do than what I have on my driver's license, wow! ...

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 mus...

Everyone!! I hosted my first baby shower, and it was a great success! It was for my twin sister Kelsey, she is having a baby boy (Kenton Topher) due.... around November 7th. I was able to host it with her awesome friends, Shalyse Hukil and Amber Gardner. We had lots of fun planning it. Since this is the first boy in my family, we wanted to have fun, so we decided to have a mustache themed party. Oh boy! It sure was fun. For those of you who know me I kinda go crazy with these things. I really enjoyed preparing things for this shower and I am going to share how the party turned out! The invitations : I had an idea run through my head as soon as we decided to make it a mustache themed party. I began working with scrapbook paper and stamps. Finally after a few rough drafts I came up with an invite. I traced mustaches on black card stock (and sweet Kelsey helped cut them out!!), I made a template for a tie and glued it all on paper. When I was done with the paper things, I was able t...

Since humans are humans we get to deal with some pretty funny things. Life happens and the only thing left to do is LAUGH!!! Which trust me I do plenty of, sometimes I even let out a cackle, once I start it is hard for me to stop. So because I am human, I'm giving you my list of awkward moments. Please enjoy! Laugh and laugh some more, but please don't judge! Are you ready? (please pardon my informality of this blog) :D THAT AWKWARD MOMENT WHEN.... -you fall up the stairs in front of lots of people -the person sitting next to you is large in stature and could use two chairs instead of one -your water bottle leaks all over your clothes -you spill your food on your shirt -you walk and a "fluff" of air slips out of your behind... oooops! -you laugh so hard you snort -the person next to you forgot to take a shower -you fall asleep with your mouth open -the person next to you talks and they could use a tic tac -you forgot to do up your zipper -you slip on ice ...
