Hey so... yeah!

Well... I SURVIVED SPRING SEMESTER! I am so thrilled I get a break from school, although it is very short this year, it is much needed! I will be taking summer classes this year, only part time, but hopefully I will have enough spirit to do it!
Ha I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I was to take my last final. It was for my hardest class, and I have never studied so hard in my life. For this test a lone I studied for hours upon hours upon hours. I had three other tests to take, and somehow, I studied more for physiology than all of my other classes combined. I was bound and determined to pass this test. I get to the room all shaky and stuff, I just wanted to get it done. I sat next to my cousin Skylar and for some reason that made me feel better about taking the test. The test... So I have Type 1 Diabetes, and Celiac Disease, I normally get flustered that I have both, and wonder how in the world I survive sometimes, but on this test, there were questions that brought up both. I felt fortunate that I had a background on them and how grateful I was to have them at that moment, considering that the question on Celiac Disease took up a page and a half. I knew that answers and had full confidence to answer what I knew about them. I finished my test with ten minutes to spare, walked up to the front of the room, and have never felt so proud to be done with it. This class pushed me to another level, and I feel like a bigger person for finishing it! Can I get a WOOT WOOT!!
Anyway I hate to boast about how I conquered the class... onto what I did this weekend!

On Friday, it was a relaxing kind of day! I had the pleasure to go to the temple again, and this time with lots of questions in mind. I am so grateful to have the spirit so close to me, and the answers that I received. I know that when I go to the temple that it is a special place and that there is no other place like it. Every time I go there I leave with a big smile, letting no evil spirit come close to me! I want you all to know that I cannot wait to go through the temple to get my endowments taken out and be sealed. I don't know when that will be but, whenever it is, I am super excited!

My mom had the day off from school, so this means that we got to watch Brooklynn. She is so cute and her happiness is contagious, she brings such joy to our lives. We went to some grocery stores, and craft stores, she was such a trooper and with her awful cold, she still had a smile on her face. She loves to try on my shoes, and especially my high heels. She got my old green ones (she called them high boots) and to my surprise, she could actually walk in them pretty well.

My Craft project of the week! Ha ha this last little bit I have really gotten into doing crafts. This week I made one for my mom and her kitchen. I got a "K" and decorated it with paper and embellishments. Oh my goodness I am jealous that it turned out so cute! We had fun trying to figure out where to put it! I hope it is something she can keep for a while, and that remember the fun times we had picking out paper and picking out the final spot for it. It's amazing what a little scrapbook paper, modge podge, stamp pads, ribbon, and brads can do! Needless to say, I love crafting!

Random thought... my brain food right now is HOT TAMALES, without these I could not function and they saved me during finals week!

On Saturday, I hung out with my mom! It was so fun! We wandered down to Gordmans out in South Jordan. Oh boy! We had the intention to look at clothes... we got distracted for a hour and a half looking at wall art. Well we, after  a very long time, picked out new wall art for our bare kitchen wall! Happy Mother's Day! It looks absolutely beautiful! I love it and so does my mom! I found it funny that this little decision for some was such a big one for my mom! She was so excited, if any of you know my mom, she NEVER EVER gets things for herself and her want list keeps growing. This was such a huge step for her! She splurged on herself, and I had to laugh, it took us another half hour to figure out how we wanted to hang it. When my dad got home, we couldn't wait to show him, and as I watched, ha ha it was hung up on our kitchen wall! Little by little my mom will get the kitchen of her dreams! I love my family!
I also helped my little sister make her graduation announcements. Oh my goodness I can't believe that she has less than a month left of high school. I am so proud of her and I love her so much! Orem watch out! She is powerful beyond measure and she will rock UVU's socks! Future culinary chef in the making!






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...

Women's Conference 2015

Friends, I had the incredible opportunity to go to BYU's Women's Conference with my generous mother-in-law and both of my sisters-in-law. This was my first time and the experiences I had I will cherish forever. I will tell you right off I will be sharing some personal and spiritual things. I am not trying to convert anyone or change how you believe  in things, but I wanted to write down how I felt after such an amazing two days of being uplifted by the spirit. Women's Conference is held at Brigham Young University, and is for women mostly, however there are some men that tag along. It is two days long filled with LDS speakers and talks. There are 15 or so talks to choose from each hour, for three hours. You get to choose which classes you want to go to and quite honestly if I had the time and will power I would have gone to much more than that. There is a morning session before we all break out into our classes of choice (all over campus) and then we all met back together...
