Just another weekend!

I have to admit something... lately, I have been super super happy, and I don't know why, but I sure do love it! This post, wont really have a theme, but I thought I would update you on how things have been going.
Things in my life have just been falling into place. I am so grateful that I have the gospel in my life, for I see its miracles everyday of my life. I love the temple, and still am going every Friday, I love how the spirit overflows my mind because of this. I have a hard time being sad now, and I have many people to thank for that, you know who you are, and the many family and friends that I have, have permanently put a smile on my face. As I am writing this post, I am sitting on my dad's big comfy chair, and watching Toy Story 3, all by myself, this is the first weekend that I have had the whole house to myself. It's pretty peaceful!
Ok.... Here comes a bullet point list of things that I have been doing for the last little bit.
-Gave a group presentation in my health class... we designed a health program about preventing adult obesity and helping students find out how to be healthy and stick to a budget and use our own campus's facilities, for basically nothing. Wow I am so glad that is over, it was kind of stressful, but made me realize, that sooner or later, I will actually be doing these projects and actually help people!! I loved it, it made me so excited for the future and what it entails.
-Last Saturday, some friends and I played "glow-in-the-dark" capture the flag at Draper Park. Let me tell you, it was so much fun! Running around and every single one of us stepping and slipping in the really smelly mud, where ever that came from, we were all covered in it. As of late, I realized that I don't really hang out with a lot of girls, ha so it's been me and a bunch of guys. No offense to girls, but when girls talk, no matter what the topic, there always is some unwanted drama that is brought up, not that I mind, but with guys it's a different and funny kind of talk.
-I saw The Amazing Spider Man, first movie I have seen in the movie theater, since I don't know... May! Ah ha I need to get out more! But needless to say, I had A WONDERFUL time!
-I love dark chocolate now!
-Blueberries, peaches, ice cream, and almonds are my new favorite snacky foods.
-My favorite colors are coral and turquoise... ha big surprise right!
-I gave myself a challenge. I believe that every person can be wonderful and amazing in there own way. We need to accept that everyone is different, and be ok with that. However, we also need to know how to be healthy as well. Personally, I could be in better shape, and eat better. So I am going to do it!! I really am going to stick with it. It's called "OPERATION I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!!" I have given myself a daily workout and I am trying really trying to eat better and avoid those simple sugars that most of the time I crave. So far... my body is slowly transforming. I have sore muscles pretty much everyday, and my eating habits are getting better. I do not intend to lose weight, because I know I don't need to. I just want to get in better shape, so that I have the control of my future and my wellness of life. So, sore muscles... I love you!
-I killed a spider! Oh my goodness this was so epic. I got home from the Days of 47 Rodeo, and was getting ready for bed. Well for one, I should have never looked at the wall, but I did, and my heart pretty much dropped to my stomach. I was frozen in time and I was not moving. However, I was able to get a shoe, after debating which shoe I would use. I had to talk myself into killing this spider. I hate, hate, hate spiders. I will not kill them, I scream and have other people kill them for me. But... no one was home! Shaking with fear, I imagined it jumping on me, which made it even worse. I stood there for 20 min saying "You can do it, it's so small compared to you, just smash it!" Holy cow! I am such a chicken! Finally, I screamed, and ran to the wall with a "hi-ya" realized what I had done, didn't even clean up the guts, and threw my shoe to the ground. I leaped into bed and took two deep breaths and said stupid spider... it's time for bed! I do have to admit... I am very proud of myself.
-I went to the Rodeo with Lindsey, Donald, Brooklynn, Courtney and Nick. So basically I was the 5th wheel... which I did not mind! I had loads of fun and would not trade this night at all! Can I get a YEEHAW!
-I was bored... so go figure I went to the craft store to see what I could do.... I found something!! I came home and immediately started it, which only took me an hour and a half start to finish. I got some canvas, stickers and paint. I placed the alphabet on the canvas and painted over the letters. I waited a little bit of time and peeled the stickers off. For just an experiment, it turned out pretty sweet. With a bunch of negative space, I will now put it in my bathroom!
- In September I am doing this Zumba event with my best friend Cierra. It is going to be an all day dance event! So I wanted to make a sweet shirt, so I grabbed some scissors, beads, and on old shirt. I fringed the shirt and added beads to it, so now when I spin or shake my hips, it will not only make noise, but flow as well!! I want to make a better one though....

Well that's all! Ha so much has happened, I would love to share it all, but it would probably bore you guys! I love life! I am so grateful for everything that has happened thus far. I could never be happier! Go forth and do my friends!!

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...
