Valentines Day Ain't so Bad When You're Single

One of my biggest pet peeves is when single people hate and bash on Valentines day! Its so unnecessary  I am happy those who have a significant other can take a holiday to celebrate their love! For me, I get to enjoy candy, food, and offering my service of babysitting so those in love can go out and celebrate!  I got lucky enough to watch the Beagley kids on valentines day! On the way to their house they BEGGED me to take them to Dutch Bros to get hot chocolate and I am a succor and want the kids to think I am the cool, fun, babysitter, so I caved in and got them their fun little hot chocolates. Then of course after they take a few sips Drew pulls the whole, "oh woops, I just remembered my mom said we are not allowed to have these because they have sugar in it" and Kaitlyn joins in and says, "oh yeah, we can only have this occasionally". So I respond with, "Guys you purposefully planned that because you know I'm not going to make you throw them away after I already bought them,". These kids know how to play the game and get what they want, then try and act innocent after. Ha that's why I LOVE them. So we get home and the uncles cars are there so we thought it would be fun to heart attack their cars. We cut a bunch of hearts out, stuck them all over, lifted up all their windshield wipers, and put down their tailgates as a "prank", they learn this stuff from their dad. It was then crunch time to get their valentines all done before bed! We had like an assembly line going on to get them done, Kaitlyn is the most creative and hard working 11 year old I have ever met and goes above and beyond in everything she does. Future Relief Society General President right here!  Anyways that was a good way to spend valentines. Friday I babysat for the Dahl's so they could go out and I can't believe how old theses kids are now! I started babysitting for them when I was 14!!! I'm 22 now (in a 4 days) 8 years is a LONG time with a family, I mean the twins were 6 months old when I started with them and have been there since Bryson was born obviously and enjoyed the short year and half I had with sweet little Lexie. I feel like these kids are mine. I don't want to ever stop babysitting them. One thing I hate about babysitting at their place is they ALWAYS have so much junk food. Its torture. Friday they had Barro's Pizza, Cheese Bread, Homemade cupcakes, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Brownies, and Chocolate Covered strawberries. I caved in and had some stuff but then i went to the fridge and started chowing down on carrots and celery and a PB&J to fill me up so I wouldn't go back to the goods. 

Saturday I went to the Renaissance Festival with John and we both hadn't been there since like 6th grade so it was interesting to see it now that we understand all the crude humor. haha It was fun though we did a tomato throw, archery, watched the Jousting tournament which was very cool! They are SO in to it. Saw a couple other shows and were entertained with the random talents throughout! We then went to Waffle House since I have never been there and have heard so much about how ghetto it is and what not I wanted to experience it! It was not THAT bad and the waffle was actually good! We then went out to the YSA Desert Dancing thing and had a good time dancing and seeing old friends! The rest of the week nothing exciting has happened.

 Monday speed dating for FHE and had a HUGE turn out. Wednesday Is my long day in PHX and luckily I have made 2 really good friends Brittany and Taika and we were at Starbucks doing HW and the topic of temples came up and they were asking tons of  questions and I LOVED answering them and sharing a little bit about a place I hold so dear to my heart. They are so funny too, they told me they try so hard not to swear when they are around me and when Taika accidently swore she was like I AM SOOO SORRY and then Brittany got on her case. I just laughed because they think I will like never hang out with them if they slip every once in a while. I reassured them that isn't the case. They are great though, I love that I didn't even have to ask them to not swear around me... they just noticed I don't swear and respect me and are making the conscious effort to make it a comfortable environment for me.

I love that I get to be around non-lds people all day! Its so great!

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...
