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.

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 ...

Answered Prayers

To those of you who heard my testimony today, I apologize that I am repeating myself. This is an experience I just needed to write down for myself. Let's rewind to Monday night. I hadn't been feeling all that great. I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before. I just was ready to go to bed. I told myself that I would come home from FHE and go to sleep. I was in my pajamas by 8:30- crazy for a college student, right? One of my friends dropped in for a visit. After she left, I had one of those moments where I just felt completely alone. I went to my room and prayed when a few simple words came to my mind. "Heavenly Father, Are you really there? And do you hear and answer every child's prayer?" These two lines from the children's primary song were stuck in my mind. In the moment, it is easy to doubt that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. How can He really hear every single prayer around the world? How can He answer every single one? It just ...

Quick Housing Update

So I got an email yesterday saying that I will get to choose my housing on April 1st. Really, that is pretty good. Housing opens for others on March 28th...and I have heard as far away as April 13th. So I am counting my blessings and hoping that everything that I want to work out will work out. :) Come what may and love it!
