Spring say what!

Hey friends! I hope all is going well and you guys are all enjoying this fabulous weather! I will admit, I have Spring Fever! Before I jinx myself though, it is Utah, and the weather can change at any given moment, so for now... bring on the warm weather! This time of year I always get so excited... for many reasons, but this year... I am really really excited! I am going to give you my famous bullet point list of things that have been going on and such! I will try and throw in some funny things and random moments, so grab some snacks, sit back and enjoy!

-First of all... Spring Break, yes it was a few weeks ago, but I never blogged about it! Guess what I did! I did absolutely nothing and it was wonderful! Here is a short re-cap: Went to Spencer's soccer game, worked out (pretty hard every day), did Zumba with Cierra Bell, did a quiz, did lots of reading, went to Linsdy's wedding (crazy she is married, her reception was lots of fun), got yummy frozen yogurt with the girls, I also went to Park City with Cierra Larsen, it was so nice up there! I also was able to spend lots of time with my family!


-Spencer took me to a Jazz game, it was our first sporting event together! I was really excited! Also, six months ago, Spencer swept me off my feet and took me on our first date! Recap of our first date: My sweet Spencer took me rock climbing, ha ha this was really fun! I hadn't been in years and the last time I only went half way. Spence was way good and I totally embarrassed myself when I realized I couldn't do it. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole night! We finished the night off by getting smoothies from McDonald's. I never knew that I would be so lucky. Spencer babe, I sure do love you!


-Umm, I turn 21 soon, how weird is that! So you all know what that means right? I had to go through the process of renewing my driver's license. My mom gave me the suggestion to make an appointment so I wouldn't have to wait in line. You guys seriously I was in and out in 13 minutes! It was awesome! I feel so grown up with my license now being horizontal instead of vertical! Now I just need to figure out what I want to do on my birthday, I am thinking of karoake!

-As many of you know I have the wonderful opportunity to be an intern at JDRF. I am loving it so much! This past Saturday I was able to go to a health fair and promote the Kid's Walk for a Cure. It touched my heart to see so many new families. I remember that the support through things like this really helped me out when I was first diagnosed. There are so many young young children who have diabetes, and it is sad that many people do not even know what it is. I hope to continue to learn more and do more with this!

-I was in the crafty mood, and so I made something for my bathroom. I bought gold duct tape, yest gold! I also got 2 white canvases, coral paint, and aqua paint. I wasn't sure how these would turn out but I knew I would like them I painted the canvas first then I had fun cutting the tape to make designs on the canvas.They turned out really awesome and I am very proud of myself. Well... in my bathroom I had this frame on my wall which was mounted on with that mount tape so I wouldn't leave a hole in the wall. Well I didn't know you had to be careful taking it off. As I ripped the frame off the wall, I realized I had also ripped the paint off my wall.... uh crap! I felt like an idiot. I had to try and cover most of the damage up. Luckily I was able to hide most of it, but there are still parts that are still showing. I had fun adding knew things to my bathroom, the red, white, black, and gray was getting old. Now it looks bright and colorful! I just need a new shower curtain to finish things off! (I will work on getting pictures!)

-I am so grateful for the Atonement! I love the surety that it gives that Christ Lives! I know that without it or the power of repentance I would not be where I am today! I hope that I will be able to feel this way forever! It has helped me get through some of the most challenging times of my life, and friends I could not be happier. The gospel continues to amaze me, as I receive those tender mercies from the Lord, I know without a doubt that this is the only true church!

Friends, that is about all, I hope you can all enjoy the beautiful Spring weather. I sure will ha ha! Last but not least... 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...

One Year Down, Forever to Go!

Happy Anniversary Love! I can't believe it has been a whole year since we were married. I have looked back on who we were when we got married and who we have become and I love it. October 9, 2014 will always be my favorite day (and yes I know I will probably say that when I have children but...), because it was a start of a new adventure. It was a start of a new life and pathway in which I will always have my one and only by my side. Marriage. Wow, where do I even start? To be completely honest, this year has been such a blessing of continual learning, good and the bad arguments, and even happy and sad tears. No one ever told me about all of the emotions that marriage brings. They really should offer a class for this. I have loved my husband since the first time he told me he loved me. Let's go down memory lane shall we? We were driving home from one of our date nights and Spencer was being nervously quiet. He would not let go of my hand and he would not let a word slip out. H...
