Thankful

Wanted to start a daily "thankful list" even though I am a little late....

Nov. 1

I'm thankful to be living in Iowa right now. As much as I hate it sometimes and as hard as it has been for me to be away from home, I have learned things, grown in ways I never could, and met new people I never would have had we not come here. 



Nov. 2

I'm thankful for Landon. I really can't imagine being married to anyone else. He is the perfect balance to me in every way. He knows how to make me laugh when I'm ornery, usually because "I hate it here" (Iowa) :) He is a great provider. He loves me when I don't deserve it. Even after 3 1/2 years of being married there are many days that I get giddy inside knowing he will be home when I get there. (Sometimes we don't see too much of each other with school and work) 


Nov. 3

I'm thankful for loving parents. They may not be perfect just like everyone else, but I have always known that they love me and are trying to do what is best. They have also taught me to love the Gospel.
 My mom has always been my best friend. She probably gets sick of my phone calls home to her. I have learned countless things from her.
 My dad taught me the importance of attending church every week, how to fish, mow the lawn, golf, that family should come before work, the importance of forgiveness, and much more. 
I also credit my parents for helping me to become one of those girls that's not afraid to get dirty or go camping :)

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...
