Lately

-
Hello!! We have been busy the last little while. We've merged two businesses, moved to a new house, took a trip to Arizona, moving along with pregnancy and I've been trying to keep up on my 17 credits at Weber. Needless to say I haven't been a very happy or fun person to be around ;) but... things are starting to calm down and fall into place.

We are loving our new house in Roy! It's been an adjustment but will be so fun to bring a baby home to.

The last week of March and Easter weekend, we took a trip to Arizona to see some of our great friends get sealed in the Mesa temple. While there we were able to spend time with my mom and Shon as well. We were able to go to eat, watch movies, attend church and enjoy our friends and family in the amazing Arizona weather.

I am now at 18 weeks of pregnancy. I can't believe it... It's flown but at the same time gone so slow. We went last week to find out the gender, but the baby was being shy and the umbilical cord was in the way. We were so bummed and have to wait another 4 weeks to try to find out again. I am feeling soooo great now, the first trimester was horrible but now I feel great.

I was so grateful to finally get to see the sweet baby though. The doctor said the baby was very healthy and was right where it needed to be. Honestly that's all I can hope or ask for.

School has been wonderful, I signed up for my very last semester of school. Next Fall I will graduate with a degree in Public Relations/Advertising with an emphasis in Healthcare. I cannot wait to have that degree and will be so proud once I'm done. It's been the longest journey but one that I wouldn't change for anything.

Justin has been busy with work and work and work. Honestly that's all he has time for due to the merger with another company. It's exciting but so much work. I've also been busy trying to keep up with the books. It's rewarding but oh my I never get a break!

The first picture is me at 16 weeks and the next one is 18. It's interesting that what I wear determines if I look pregnant. I'm still not showing a lot most days, it just depends. Hopefully I start showing more soon so I don't just look chubby! It's so fun though and so worth it.

5 years since dads death, 5 lessons learned.

-
Today marks five years since my dear dad passed away.  Five years?! To say it's been an easy five years would be a complete lie.  But to say that the last five years have been completely miserable would be a lie, too.  I've experienced tender mercies of the Lord all along the way. Since it's been five years, I want to share five important lessons I've learned since my dads death. God loves us perfectly "Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely.  Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly.  Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely." - Dieter F Uchtdorf I often hear of people who, once something bad happens in their life,  blame everything on God.  They truly believe that if such a thing could happen in their life, then God must not love them.  I am here to tell you that that is a complete lie! I see how the easy way out for me would have been to believe that God didn't love me...

Perfect at Trying

-
I loved the movie "Meet the Mormons" that recently came out in theaters. I especially love the song that David Archuleta sings called "Glorious" that gives me goosebumps. What I love the most about this movie is a quote by the "Humanitarian" that says: "I am perfect in one thing, I am perfect in trying."  This is how I feel as well. There are days where I try so hard and despite my efforts fall short, there are days that I try so hard and things fall perfectly into place just the way I had imagined. No matter the outcome, what's important is that I keep trying. A few months back I wrote a post called "Perfectionism" and the struggle I face almost daily.  I feel like because of social media, people get a wrong idea of our lives. Most people only post the best things happening in their lives and leave out all the hard, negative moments that we each face daily. It's easy to play the game of comparison and wonder why everyone else h...

Perfectionism

-
Keep in mind:  This is very personal for me, but it was quite therapeutic to write this all down and to share with others. I hope that by me sharing it can help at least one person out there. There have been a few points in my life where I have really needed to make a big choice.   This isn’t just the little choices or decisions we all make on a daily basis, but a big choice.   Over the last what seems like couple years I have really struggled with something… something that has consumed my thoughts and actions.   Something that has crippled me at times, which has made me not want to even leave my house.   I am learning that many people out there struggle with this same thing called “perfectionism.”   This isn’t the perfectionism that we all think of, but more of a deep, dark pit of despair that I found myself in. I was such a perfectionist that I was never good enough for myself.   I’d look in the mirror and something wa...
