A much needed FALL BREAK!!

Oh goodness..... I feel like the last little while has been so busy, I am sorry I have not been faithful about keeping up on my blog, so now I will try and catch you up!!!!

You know it is fall when leaves start changing colors (I really want to take a canyon drive to see them... any takers??) and a brisk breeze is in the air. My bedroom is in the basement, and I now have to layer on the blankets and clothes when I go to sleep. Welcome to Utah! Ha but it's ok, I decided I love this time of year for many different reasons and layering up is one of them. I also love cuddling up with my blanket, stick in a chick-flick, and fall asleep, oh so much fun. There is also football, pumpkins everywhere, crisp apples and peaches, and the smell of spices like nutmeg and cinnamon everywhere! (The smell of fall is just so great!) I love to start taking pictures of this time of year with my family because everyone just seems so happy, it's not blazing hot, or wretched cold... it's somewhere in between!
When I was getting ready for my mid-terms this semester, I realized how fast they came and how much studying I needed to do. I have never been so grateful for office hours and study groups, it definitely paid off! I can only hope that when this is all over I can be a bigger person and appreciate learning and apply it to my daily habits. I love learning new things, that is what we are here for... I have to keep reminding myself that, or else we would be nothing. People, its simple, everywhere you go, everything you do, you should learn something new or more in depth, try to look for more opportunities like that and it will help you enjoy what you actually learn. Soon you will be talking about what you learned not even knowing that you remembered that much! Luckily there is a break, for my brain could not take one more hours upon hours of studying at night.

My cute cute niece, Brooklynn, is growing up so fast and is already talking way good. She is fun to be around and makes me want to be a better person, her spirit is so lively and contagious! I love when she comes over to play and run around... screaming at everything and having the time of her life! Here's our little thing... "Toes!" or I pick her up, she puts her head on my shoulder and we spin and scream at the same time! I love this little girl!


I am looking forward for this Fall Break... for many reasons, but the biggest... KELSEY AND CHRIS ARE FINALLY GETTING MARRIED!!! It does seem like just yesterday they got engaged, but it's here! I am sure it will be the cutest wedding and I am so happy for them. Being the Maid of Honor, I was asked to give a speech at their luncheon, and being the cry baby that I am, I cried writing it; so I know I will have to have a tissue in hand while saying it. I love these two so much and am so grateful that they found each other. They have set a great example of how true love is proven and it will all end in a "Happily Ever After"  There's will be just beginning this Saturday as Kelsey gets her endownments taken out, and next week when they are sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. Oh how wonderful their time will be together! I love you Kels and Chris! "Get'r done!"




Trying to multi-task while your brain is going a thousand miles per hour, is pretty tough. This upcoming week I have lots to do, so much for resting on my fall break! One big thing I have to accomplish first is tackling my room... not that's messy but it is very un-organized. Ha I keep finding my closet over flow onto the ground or my bed... oh well I'm a girl and there is nothing you can do about it! While doing that I still need to do a few things before the wedding, and study, yes study for hours and hours for my classes so I don't fall behind. Yippie!! I also get to start looking for places to job shadow so that I can apply to the Radiological Sciences... in January, please keep posted for more details! Trying to still have a life I try and hang out on the weekends, because literally that is all I have time for anymore. I don't know how grad students do it, especially when they have families. Kudos to you!

I do love having girls night and talking with my best friend Cierra. Ha we can talk for hours about pretty much anything. Since we both do dorky things, our span of entertainment is between the two of us is hilarious. Here is a quote that describes us... "You know they're your best friend when you look at each other and laugh out loud at the jokes you told yesterday!"


I do have to apologize about the rambling of this blog... I didn't really think of an outline for this one... I hope you enjoy! I would just like to end with a quote..."If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain." Maya Angelou. I really believe that this is true... about anything in life!

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...

Staying Organized with a Baby and a Budget

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope your year has started off great and I hope it continues to be wonderful! I would like to consider myself to be pretty organized. Some people may find it weird that I love to keep things tidy and have a spot for everything. I hate clutter and huge messes. Yes I know I have a baby who loves to get into everything, literally. So I have had to learn to let her be little and let there be messes. Like most people I know, I binge watched Netflix show "Tidying Up" with Marie Kondo and her KonMari Style. Although fairly organized before the show, I felt inspired to get rid of more and organize deeper. I feel SO much better when my house is clean and things are put away. Spencer always makes fun of me for this slightly OCD quality I have. As I have been taking night classes and not getting home until 9 pm I have found it easier to not want to clean up the kitchen before bed. I do it anyway. Does anyone else have to have a clean kitchen before they go to b...

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...
