So... it's a new year!

I know I am a little late on this post, but I have been focusing on other things. To be honest I wanted to have fun my last week before school started again. I do apologize, but please forgive me, I will catch you up on most things! I cannot believe it is yet again another year in the making! 2012 you were so great to me, but I know without a doubt that 2013 will be just as great if not better!

Here is to 2013, a new year, a new me!
I would like to share some of my resolutions, because I want to be committed to these, so that is why I am telling you! Over the past few years I have had to grow up a lot. Some of the things that made me grow up were very hard challenges that both my family and I had to go through. To this day I do not know why I went through some of the things I went through, but I will be forever grateful that I did. I am a changed person. I have never been so happy in my life, and I know that it was because of these struggles. So as I was making my resolutions for this year, I realized that I have so many things. Like many of you, I want to better my life and be the happiest person yet. So.... what are my resolutions?
.....I want to become a better person proving to others that I can do things that I say I am, make commitments, and live life to its fullest.

.............I know I don't need to lose weight, don't even get me started, but I want to be healthier  overall, you know eat better, drink more water, be more dedicated to going to the gym, and really understanding and implying my dream career into my life so that I can help others become healthy as well!
..........I will go to the temple as often as I can, no excuses! I tried this last year, and the Temple workers started calling me by name, it was such a blessing that I could go and feel at home, and so much closer to my Heavenly Father. So this year I am going on a different day, so I can get to know more Temple workers and help my personal testimony grow of the importance of temple work. I love it and I can't wait to experience this change! I also want to make it a point to go to different temples in the valley, there are four close to my house, I want to make it to more than just those ones. I want to start preparing to go through the temple, I know I may not be getting married anytime soon, but for my own endowment and to possibly go on a mission!

....DO WHAT IS RIGHT, EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING.... I have never done anything I regret, but I made this motto up and put in on a sticky note and put it in my room. I see it everyday and by seeing this, helps me recognize how strong the power of discernment is. Many things can tempt you and make you do something you will regret later. I am human so of course I will mess up at times, but by knowing that I have the choice to make everything work and make it right, is awesome! I want to be the best me I can be, so for 2013 I am going to prove it to myself. Listen to the Holy Ghost and to ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

The rest of my resolutions are simple but these are the ones that I really want to work on. These are the ones that I know will change my life for this year and many more to come. I don't want to sound like I am some high and mighty girl, but I know that these simple things will help me. I hope you all know that I love you all, and thank you so much for reading my silly blogs! I look forward to another year of excitement and joy! Old habits die hard... so family, friends, and everyone else! 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...

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...

How to know when to be grateful!

Happy Thanksgiving friends! Wow time has sure flown by, I want to apologize for it taking so long for me to blog... my life literally has been crazy these past few weeks. Now I am not asking for a pity party, or your sympathy, because all of the incidents that have happened to me have helped me me more grateful for the things that I have instead of the things that I yearn after. Well buckle up, I am going to take you on my adventure the past couple of weeks. This time of year is when everyone should be gathering together and celebrating with family. Well my family has been doing so, but not like one would want. In the past two months or so , my family has had two surgeries, an emergency room visit, two cars break down to where we ended up getting a new car, and a sister get married,a sister get engaged, and a sister have an ovarian cyst burst. At first we all kept asking, when will we ever get a break from this hectic way of life. Well it never will get any easier,...
