A New Year

Yeah yeah...I know no one reads this blog, but I still should be doing a better job at keeping a blog than what I am doing. So here is to a new year!

I have made it through my first semester of college. Oh what a CRAZY semester it has been! So here is a basic overview of my first semester at BYU:

1.I got pretty good grades-All A's, with one A- and one B+. I consider that good- hopefully I can keep it up this second semester as I am taking American Heritage. American Heritage is know to most Freshman as the worst class in the world. People are happy when they get over 50% on the tests. Sound like fun? Yep-that is what I am entering into.

2. I have made the most amazing friends. I am not going to deny that there has been some major drama between some people, but I still have met some of the best people I have ever met. I have been loving almost every second of my first semester because of these people. We have had some fun times having hot chocolate, tim-tam slams, and going out for toasted PB&J (which sounds really gross, but it REALLY GOOD!) It has not been about the big things, but the little things that we have done together that have made our friendships what they are.

3. I got to meet David Archuleta. If you know me, you know that I LOVE David Archuleta! It was so fun going to his signing with some of my friends. We had to stand in line for hours, but it was completely worth it! I got to talk to my idol for about 0.5 seconds, but it was worth it. He is going on a mission now, so this may be the last time that I would get to get my CDs signed and such. I am glad htat I was able to be so close to him and fulfill one of my greatest wishes. :)

4. I have joined Divine Comedy. Divine Comedy is a comedy group on BYU's campus. I have become the new assistant stage manger. I have only worked one show week so far, but it was so fun! I am nervous and excited, but I already have met some amazing people because of it!

I have made it. I survived my first semester of college! If you would have asked me the first week of the semester if I would make it, I don't know what answer I would have given you. To be completely honest, I was so homesick. In fact, I marked 3 weeks on my calendar. If I was not happy by week 3, I planned to get on a plane and go home. I stayed-so that tells you something! :) It has been a crazy semester. Sometimes I wonder how I made it through. As I am entering into my second semester, I realize that it is time to make some resolutions. One of my resolutions is to write on this blog more often. I don't exactly know when or how often, but it will be more often.

Anyway-this post is already too long. As I leave you, I promise I will be back soon. Here is to a new semester!

Freshman Mentoring?

You want me to be honest? I really have no idea what Freshman Mentoring is or what it is good for. But it is required, so I have to do it. I had to sign up for a 'bundle'. The first bundle I signed up for was just a general writing class. I am actually very excited for it! I hope that it won't be too hard, but I also hope that I learn a lot. Oh, and did I mention that it is at 8 am! Sigh...I think this will actually be better in the long run. Hopefully... The second bundle I signed up for was suggested for elementary education majors. It combines biology and human development. Basically, all that means is a lot of people will be in both classes with me. I am excited for this, so that I will be get to know people with the same major. Also, I think these will be some of my favorite classes. I am actually excited that my college schedule is forming. It makes me so excited to see my future falling into place. CRAZY!

Lily- Your Birth Story

I love reading birth stories. And I love being able to look back at my birth stories to remember the little details. Here are my past birth stories: Mitch's Birth Story Nate's Birth Story Every birth is so unique, but having a baby in the middle of a pandemic is completely different. With that- on to my 3rd birth story... Lily Girl- We were so excited to have you join our family. We were excited to have little pink socks and little dresses in our home. But let me tell you- your pregnancy was the absolute hardest for me compared to the boys. Let me start at the beginning... We found out we were pregnant in January. We were so excited. The week that I found out that I was pregnant, I started experiencing severe cramps on one side. I was so worried for a ectopic pregnancy or another miscarriage. I called the doctor and was asked to come in for some blood tests. I went in and found out my numbers were on the lower normal end. They sent me in for a ultrasound to rule out an ectopic ...

Mitch- Your Birth Story

When I was pregnant, I was obsessed with reading other’s birth stories. Now, I feel like it is only fair that I write one of my own.   To Mitch-   It is ironic that you were born the week of the April General Conference. A year earlier- your father and I had received the inspiration that we needed to start trying to have a child much earlier than we had originally planned. We followed Heavenly Father’s counsel and had faith that it would work out. Now we have you! Your due date was March 24, 2016. I thought you would come early, but you apparently had other ideas. You decided to come late.  Every morning that week, I would wake up and check to see if my water had broke. Every morning, I was disappointed. I went into work on the 25 th and it was one of the most miserable days because I didn’t expect to be there. You silly goose! You kept us guessing from the very beginning. Your dad and I went into my doctor’s appointment on the 25 th . I still had not made any progr...
