Freedom

IT'S FINALLY OVER! Fall semester that is. SO relieved and happy. Don't get me wrong, I love learning about design, but these past couple of weeks have been CRAZY! This was my post today on facebook..."after 5 final projects, countless burns from the glue gun, way too many rubber cement fumes, a nasty cold, a few meltdowns, & a partridge in a pear tree, I am done with the semester. Now some time for my brain to recover!"

And my brain really does need to recover. These are a couple of the mindless things I have done that really wouldn't have been a big deal if I would have had a brain:

1) Pulling out a new garbage bag for the large kitchen garbage and finally realizing after a minute that it won't fit because its meant for the bathroom garbage that is half the size.

2) While frantically finishing my AutoCAD final, screaming at the computer because the dimensions I'm drawing aren't showing up and realizing a meltdown later that it was because I had just turned the layer they were on off.

And these are only a couple of the stupid things I have done. So I will be happy to have my brain back so that I can finally get to all the other things on my to do list such as:

do ALL of my Christmas shoppping
renew my driver's license that expired on Nov 25 when I hit the big 21
write thank you notes from my birthday
FINALLY clean our embarrassingly messy apartment
and a few others

I am also excited because I can post on this blog again. I have several things I have been wanting to share but haven't had time to sit down and actually post them. So stay tuned for some posts over the next few days about school projects, wedding flowers, christmas trees and some fun design youtubes.

Ta ta!

20 Weeks

I will be 20 weeks with baby #2 in just a couple of days. Baby boy #2 that is! Half way! I'm finally getting around to taking a picture of myself and writing down a little bit about this pregnancy.  It's definitely been different this time around both emotionally and physically.  Of course I have another child to attend to so I can't nap whenever I want, I felt more sick this time around and it lasted longer, and worst of all for me is the teenage acne I've developed.  I don't intend for this to be a sob story, but I've never been the girl that everyone says "You're so pretty" to and I've never been the skinny girl. But I have always had really great skin. To be honest, most of my confidence in my outward appearance is because I have my mom's skinny legs and I have clear skin and a natural tan. Well these days I literally cringe when I look in the mirror. I've NEVER had acne. I've always had the occasional breakout tha...

Another Week, Another Hike

My aunt, mom, and I headed up Holbrook Canyon last Saturday to take in more of Fall's goodness. This canyon is just above the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The last time I hiked it was ages ago, so I forgot about how long of a hike it is. I looked up the mileage online which said 8 miles up and back. Well I don't know if that's accurate or what because after we had gone what I swear was 4-5 miles, we still weren't to the top and had to turn around so we could make it back before dark. A lot of the trail is uphill and it's not a really easy hike, so maybe we were just making slower time and didn't go as far as I thought, but maybe next time we'll actually make it to the top. Even though we didn't make it, it was still worth the beautiful scenery. As we got toward the bottom as the sun was practically gone, the canyon was glowing from all the brilliant colored leaves. It was seriously magical, as cheesy as that sounds. It's a shaded hike, almos...
