Being a twin... Rocks!

As many of you know, I am a twin. In some cases twins hate each other and are jealous of the other one. I am not saying this lightly when I say my twin, Kelsey is my best friend. No matter what she has ALWAYS been there for me and I for her. Sometimes I swear we are connected at the hip and can finish each other's sentences. Ever since we were little, we have had basically the same interests and friends. Now even though we are twins, we are very very different. I have to laugh when people say, "You guys are so much alike," or "Have you guys switched places? God made us sisters but chance made us best friends. I am so grateful for the relationship we have with each other. Growing up I definitely took for granted sharing every single thing with her: clothes, conversations, smiles, tears, boys (ha ha that's another story), a room, a car, pretty much what was mine was hers and visa versa. When it was time to go to college she moved out to St. George and I stayed here in Sandy. There were times when I cried myself to sleep because all I wanted to do was talk through the night, ha ha it's funny what separation can do. Even though we don't talk everyday, I feel that we can always pick up where we left off. I love how her "goofiness" can, no matter what, make me smile. I always look forward to the times when I can see her.She has always been the one to when I was going through a difficult time, she would give the best advice. Sis, you are so fun! Over the past year I believe that being apart and not sharing everything with each other, has made our relationship even stronger than it ever has before! Now that she is getting married, the question I get asked now is..."How do you feel about it?" To be honest, I could not be any more happy about it, she has had her fair share of struggles, and I am glad that Chris is the one to make her happy and take her through the temple. Yes, I am sad, but you know it is apart of life and even though she is getting married, she will always be my best friend and she will always be the one where her opinion matters most to me. Being a twin is simply the best and I could not have asked for a better second half. I hate to say this to all the other twins out there but... MY TWIN IS BETTER THAN YOURS!!! I love you Kelthey Ann!!!

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...

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...

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...
