P.S. I am 22 now... mid 20s are approaching!

Hey there! So I kind of gave up on the whole 30 day challenge. It started to get boring, and school is way more important! So I haven't updated in little over a month! So here are some recent adventures!

• My roommate Kim is engaged and I am so super happy for her and Tim!
• It was my birthday and I went home for spring break and celebrated with my family and friends. First of all I got to have Sunday birthday dinner with my ADORABLE 2 year old niece Brielle... she is getting SO BIG! My hair is lighter, I got a cooling pad for my laptop, and my mom and dad gave me their camera cause mine stinks! I also got some clothes (a shirt, a skort, and a jacket to wear with my skirt), Frankie and her family gave me nail stuff which I have used like five times already, Hailey and Cam got me exercise clothes which are so cute! Ash and Lisa gave me a $25.00 gift card for my Kindle! Kolbie and Ell gave me may hair cut and color, and I totally needed and wanted it! It was so much fun! Bri surprised me by having Alex show up at our friend dinner, and she made me a monkey from Build a bear, and Alex got me Eclipse which I did not own yet! I KNOW! Me of all people!  When I got back to Cedar on my actual birthday, I went out to breakfast with Lisa and then lunch with the roommates and our momma down here in Cedar City! I had to plan our fun chapter and that was excellent! Paige got my my Batman wallet (IT IS LEGIT!) and Kimmie made me a kindle cover! So my birthday was AMAZING thanks to all my family and friends!

THE GIRLS AND MOMMA 

THE BIRTHDAY GIRLS

• A week before I went home for spring break my friend Krista and I got dolled up and went to DJ night at Toadz here in Cedar. It is like a bar/club thing. We both do not drink, and just go for fun and to dance. BUT the DJ sucked... and a couple of my friends were there, and a couple of hers were there celebrating a bachelorette party, and we got to play games with them. So that ended up being an interesting evening hahaha but so much fun! 

KRISTA AND ME. 

• So this last weekend was sisterhood retreat and it was my last one :-( and only 21 girls showed up, but my girls from the MDC (Cami and Leila) and myself got to plan three of the activities. I hope the girls learned a lot, and a had a lot of fun. We went up to Brian Head to our sister's family cabin! It was a lot of fun! Here is a pic of me and Kelly! 

ANYWAY life is fun and school is busy! But I will update more on that later!

Until next time....

Day 2 and Day 3 of the challenge!

Day 2: Post a picture of you and the person you are closest with the longest.

Day 3: Post a picture of your favorite TV show

The 30 Day Facebook Challenge and Updates!

Alright everyone so not a lot has happened in the past two weeks. I am starting back at Weight Watchers tomorrow. I finally sucked up my pride, but I will be keeping you updated with that and talking more about that. This will be my third time doing it. Third time is a charm right? I sure hope so. Weight has seriously been something I struggle with. I looked at my self the other day and I was like "wow -- you never get better, just worse. When one diet is done, all that hard work just goes to waste". I sure made some people happy when I came to this conclusion.
I went home this last weekend for President's day weekend, and that was SURELY needed. I think I had a mini mental breakdown with school, and almost clicked "withdrawl" from my classes. BIG mistake considering I have turned in my graduation papers for Decemeber 2011 and walking in May of 2012! So That would have been even more of a waste than my lack of dieting and keeping the weight I lost off.

New Semester!

WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE

Sitting here on the couch eating Footsies is not how I intended this semester to go with the whole weight loss situation. I started going to the gym on Monday but I am going to start going today more. At least twice a week! I will have at the beginning of each blog this segment (weight loss update) before the actual blog. So far I have stopped (with the exception of these stupid Footsies), eating different things for meals. I have stopped going to McDonald's all the time (which is hard when you are on the go like me all the time). I have started making dinner (Example: Steak and green beans). There is still just one thing I cannot seem to give up and that is Coca-Cola. But I have made a compromise. Instead of drinking it ALL DAY I have to drink two things of water (in my water bottle that I have) then I can have a 32 oz (at the biggest size) only once a day. Then i have to go back to water. I think if I can cut it down slowly, I can maybe cut it down to one small one a day at THE MOST. I am trying though! I am going to start going to the gym, because Zumba is every day and I LOVE Zumba! It is so much fun! I have missed going. CONFESSION TIME: I haven't been to Zumba since July... better yet I have yet to go to the gym since August. So I need to make some MAJOR changes in my life. I have some goals. I want to be down by Red Dress Gala (in two weeks) I just want to feel better in a dress! Then I want to feel and look thin by Spring Break and then Formal and stuff. Spring Semester has a lot of mile markers that is good. So I apologize, not all the weight loss updates will be this long!

ACTUAL BLOG

So this semester has been a pretty good semester, my classes are okay -- they are level 4000 classes but if I just put forth the work it will all be alright! Yesterday I started filling out graduation papers! THIS IS SCARY! I was very nervous when they handed them to me! It is so exciting and very out of body lol. This semester I put some pictures on my wall to add to the awesome decor of my bedroom: 

I still have more to put up, but I had this blank wall and nothing do with it! 

The roommates and I are getting along, the only thing that is different is that Kim and Tim are together YAY!!!!! Its about time! But we did a face mask to try and be funny! 

My babysitting job is so much fun! His name is Connor and he is just a sweet little boy! The dog however just watches me like "Don't you dare do anything stupid or I will bite you" -- even though the dog is nice, it still is very protective.

And as usual Maverick runs are a must in this apartment! It just isn't a normal day with out at least one! Oh and the girls below us are nuts. I will just say this now. I was cleaning out the filter to my vacuum (at THREE in the AFTERNOON!!!!!!) and the mean one with the rats nest in her hair came up and banged on our door SUPER loud, and was like "can you please stop making noise, one of us is studying... thanks". So we said sorry, informed them I was going to vacuum and then told her thanks for coming up and not hitting the ceiling. It was the second day of school. Hello SPRING! 

Anyway this semester I am also taking an institute class and I like it. I am taking it with Kim and Paige and it is "Keys to A Successful Scripture Study". I guess the first presidency does not like the fact Bishop Heuett took my roommates and myself into his ward. I guess its looked down on in the church to go to a ward not in your stake or boundaries. Which I guess I can understand and I am not bitter, we just have to go to the ward here for the apartment complex. I was mad, and I am a little, but I will do as the Prophet and the leaders say. Even though the logistics of the church do not make sense... you gotta do what you gotta do even if you don't want to sometimes! 

Well this is all for now!

Until Next time.....

I never was really good with goodbye :(

I AM SO EXCITED to get back to Cedar and get this last year OVER with! I think after this longer of a break I am ready to move back to SLC but get my own place. This is explained because I want to go to Cedar because I want to be back on my own with my own rules, but I am not wanting to start classes again (I have liked working) and I also like being close to my family. I have a lot of thoughts that have been running through my head (like they always do before I go back after summer or the break), and I know its always a night before kind of a deal -- but I am actually sad. I want to go back tomorrow but a part of my thinks that I should go Friday because my mom has work tomorrow and has to leave really early and gets off at six. I would hate to have our last moments together be like two hours (before she falls asleep). But it is not like I am never coming back home either. I think tomorrow all my thoughts will change and I will be ready to go back. I also feel like I do not have a lot of friends in Cedar, but thats dumb I have Alpha Phi and my fabulous roommates, and I think once I get back into the school norm and get a job and stuff, it will be simple to get back to how I felt before the break started.  I usually feel this way before the break starts... so we will see!

Anyway I am dumb being a complainer!
Until Next time!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
