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!

Becoming Myself: A Year in the Making

I have never really had the opportunity to be myself. I have always felt the need to hide who I really am because of those around me. The first time I remember doing this was in third grade. My third grade teacher was strict. This is much more than just the normal "mean teacher"- she would threaten to hang us by our toenails in the corner if we did not behave. Before third grade, I was very outgoing, but I lost that because of fear. It just went deeper and deeper as the years went on. My freshman year of college, I told myself that I was going to start new. I tried to be myself, but it was really hard. Then with roommate issues, I turned back into my shell. I hid who I was. The next year, I moved in with the"friends" that I had made Freshman year. 4 girls who I thought I could trust through everything. Things happened and by the time winter semester came, my two best friends moved out to go on missions and the other two girls who I had known since Freshman year ...

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 ...

Election Thoughts- A Letter to My Son

Dear Mitch (and my other future children)- You are 7 months old right now. Donald Trump just got elected president. This has been one of the dirtiest, most awful elections. More mud was slung everywhere that our country was left covered in dirty, mucky mystery liquid. I was counting down the days until the election so that we could finally start cleaning up the mess, but that is not the case. Which is why I am now writing you this letter. I did not like Donald Trump. I did not vote for him, or for the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton. I voted Third Party because I wanted to vote for the person that I thought would be best for the job of president. But that is not the purpose of this letter. The night of the election, your father and I knelt in prayer before going to bed. I prayed for our country that night. I prayed for myself for the peace to accept the person who was elected president. I prayed for understanding to know that the person elected president (who I thought wa...
