Dang it, I told myself I wouldn't let this happen...


Well I told myself I would continue to blog about life back in AZ and what not at least every other week if not more... So much for that. It's not that fun things have not been happening, Its just life is still crazy!! I thought I would have a bunch of free time not being in school and just having babysitting jobs here and there, but I always end up finding things to keep me busy. Such as writing missionary letters, making my Hawaii DVD's, playing volleyball, organizing the house, trying new recipes, figuring out school stuff, getting ready for Ecuador, and spending good quality time with family and friends. Some stuff that has happened is that my dear friend Tori Nixon that was basically our roommate in Hawaii came to AZ for mothers day weekend with her mom and it was SO much fun showing her around and going to the lake and just being with her again! We were having withdrawals! We were hoping she could move here and work all summer but then her lame boss in Colorado had to ruin in and offer her a full time job :( But im sure it wont be too long before we see each other again!

 One thing I was super excited to come home to was to watch my little brother play volleyball! Gilbert's varsity team was way good this year!! They made it to the Semi-Finals against MVT and barely lost in a very tough battle! It was very exciting to watch but heart-braking to not come out on top with a win. I even cried! I am so proud of how well they did and how great of a player Trennon turned out to be. I am hoping now that Bromley can pull out a state Championship win for our family! 

Can you believe I leave for Ecuador in 6 days?!! Its finally coming! I have been wanting to do this for the past 1.5 years and its finally happening! I am so stoked that everything has worked out and could not thank everyone enough who bought the Smoked Pork Butts for my fundraiser to do this trip! Seriously, I raised all the money I needed to do this. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU to all those who bought some!! For those who don't know what I am doing in Ecuador, I am volunteering in the Orphanages for 2 weeks with a company called OSSO and I know it is going to be an experience of a lifetime. I am so happy I get to share it with 3 of my good friends Paige and Haley Skousen and Rachel Tingey. So as of now I am just anxiously awaiting to go serve these sweet children.

September First Camping Trip with Myla

Image
  Started out with Labor Day and Lucas had it off so Micah joined us on a bike ride. We we’re still watching the Millett’s so we had Jane sleep over so she could watch Myla while we rode. Then we had breakfast and hung out there and then had all the cousins over for a swim party to celebrate Alli & Jacobs birthday. Myla started developing a rash around her eyes and mouth that seems to be caused from heat. It flares up in the car and after naps. So hopefully it will go away soon. We had Sunday dinner with my family and the boys had fun laughing Myla around In a box. This week I filmed Traci Beagley and her breast cancer journey and it was very powerful and I’m glad I was able to be apart of bringing awareness to so many. I just had another afternoon with the Millett’s. Next I went to the library with Tayzia for baby Olympics.  Then that night we went to the ASU game with the Packard’s and Trennon & Cari Anne. We got shaved ice that smelt like gasoline so that wa...

Now What?

This past month has been different and not quite what I was expecting. This whole semester I had been working hard for ADI and with the hope that they would hire me on after the internship was over. They had been telling me multiple times that they love me and are trying to get a position open to keep me here for good. Having that said I was kind of banking of getting hired post graduation. Well a couple weeks ago Sue took me to lunch to inform me that they actually do not have a position available because Hotel Site Select has not taken off as fast as they were hoping and they will not have the money to pay me. I was pretty upset and sad because I really LOVE this business, and the other employees are so good to me, and I was already making my future plans to be with them. That lunch meeting was not the happiest, and I was pretty down the next week or so. Many thoughts began to run through my head about being jobless, and how am I going to pay off my loans, and where should I apply no...

October Beginning of Holidays

Image
First day of the month and we had the Bodine ladies over for sister lunch which was really refreshing since we had been home all week not feeling good. It was a good time like always, I’m glad to have them as my sister in laws! Friday we did pickleball with the Skousen’s, Packard’s, and Standage’s for date night and it was super fun to be active and have a group date night! Saturday I had a Romanian Pentecostal wedding that was from 8:30am-7:30pm. It was looong but fairly easy since there is a lot of driving to different locations. It was also conference so I listened to a little bit during the drives. Sunday we started potty training... again. We woke up and “threw” the diapers away and made Myla say goodbye to them and she gladly did. Then we put on underwear and told her to tell us every time she has to go. She had about 7 accidents that day which is normal cause I was pumping her with water & juice all day to make her pee more. It was really nice to have Lucas here on day 1 bec...
