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...

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...
