Remember Me?


Remember in December when I said that I was going to blog more? Yeah...I lied.
There is only a week more of classes and then a week of finals and then I am DONE with my freshman year! It has passed by so quickly that sometimes it is hard for me to believe that it is really done!

Let me catch you up on all that has happened this semester:

-I got a room to myself: At first I was a little saddened by this, but it has been so great having a whole room to myself. The best parts are having an extra bed that has become my study/netflix watching place, getting to set the thermostat to freezing cold (much to my friend's dismay), and having the fridge on the extra desk so that I don't have to lean down to get my water out of the fridge. While sometimes I wish I still had a roommate, I have been loving having the place to myself.

-It hasn't snowed...much: It really has not snowed that much this winter. All the Utah people have been telling me how this is such a mild winter. In some aspects, I wish that it would have snowed more but I am thankful that I didn't die from the cold/snow being from Arizona. It is crazy how I have adapted to the cold and think that 40 degrees is just a little chilly. 50 degrees is PERFECT. I am going to die this summer going back to a common 120 degrees Arizona.

-I have gotten through two more show weeks: I am in the midst of a Divine Comedy show week with our show on Friday and Saturday. I have been loving being part of this wonderful group and getting to know them. Three of our cast members and one of our crew is leaving after this show. I am going to miss them, but I am grateful for the opportunity that I have had to work with them.

- I signed an apartment contract: I am going to be living with my four best friends next year and I am so excited! I am excited to have couches, a bathtub, and a kitchen!! We are all just counting down the days until fall when we can move in. Hopefully everything will go well between us and we won't have too much drama. I don't think we will because I love my friends! :)

- I got into the El Ed Major: I am officially accepted into my major and I am starting into the program in the fall! I am so excited to be taking classes that really apply to my future. Luckily I have gotten to know some girls in the major, so I will know at least one person in all of my classes. 4 out of my 5 classes are in the McKay Building (Education building). YAY! :)

- I got a job! : In the fall I am going to be working as a Peer Mentor. I am so excited for this wonderful opportunity!! My peer mentor last semester helped me alot just with adjusting to life and feeling welcome and loved at BYU. I can't wait to be that for someone else...and get PAID for it! Exciting!

So this post has become a lot longer than I intended it to be...but now you are all caught up as to what has been happening in my life! :)

Come what may and love it! <3

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...
