About Me

Who Am I?
This is a question I often ask myself. I am Amy. I am a daughter. I am a student. I am a future teacher. I am a mentor. I am a Mormon.

So first off, I am a daughter. I am from Mesa, Arizona where the rest of my family lives. I have two wonderful parents who I adore and 3 older brothers. Growing up with only brothers was not the easiest, but looking back now I would not trade it for anything. I had three brothers who backed me 100% for anything that I wanted to do. They would be the ones who would ask who to beat up if I came home crying. That is not something that you get from sisters. I also have a wonderful sister-in-law and two amazing nephews. I miss my family often. They are my best friends.

I am a student and a future teacher. I am in my Junior Year at BYU. I have loved every minute of it. I am an Elementary Education major. I have a year of classes left and then I am in the schools. It is a crazy thing to think about. Being a teacher has always been my dream. I am excited to finally be living this dream.

I am a mentor. I work as a peer mentor for BYU. It has been the best job I have ever had and I am so grateful everyday that I am able to do something that I love. I have met some of the best people in the world through this job and I can't imagine doing anything else right now. It has changed me. I am a different person because of mentoring. I am ever grateful for this change.

I am a Mormon. This is probably the biggest word to describe me. I am going to make a whole page about being a Mormon and you can read about my beliefs as a Mormon here.

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 ...

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 ...
