Survived pt.1 of Wedding Season

Man I am sure glad March is over and that I didn't forget any mission homecomings, weddings, birth stories, or other important dates. I felt like I was running non stop. But that's good because it means I am growing my business and makin dat monieess. Exciting shenanigans for February/March... I am now 24. Which apparently is your "sexy" year according to Sister Brimhall. I went through the Temple as my birthday present to myself! It was a great experience, and I feel like a real Mormon now. Haha but really, the peace and happiness that was felt inside was unreal, and to be with so many friends and family in the celestial room was like a little bit of heaven. I love being able to go back and learn new things every time and understand more about my purpose here in life. I had to shoot a wedding on my actual birthday but afterwards Lori and I had a party at the Duce to celebrate & dance and hang out with all our friends!It was so fun to let loose and dance crazy.
Three days later I headed to California to shoot my first destination wedding! Danielle and Rony had my mom and I come out to capture their special day! It was great to have a new temple to film and all that jazz. We also enjoyed doing a session in the Newport Temple and seeing the beautiful art work and chandeliers inside. My mom then drove me home right after the reception ended so I could be back in AZ for another wedding the next day. It was kind of a suicide trip, but we're thankful my mom got us home safe while driving through the night. I got home and slept for 4 hours then did the wedding all day then went home and slept for 2 hours then drove 7 hours to Mexico with my friends for Spring Break.

By the time I got to Mexico I was soooo incredibly slap happy I couldn't stop laughing at nothing. It was ridiculous. Our whole trip was a BLAST! We managed to get a big group to come and we had a giant slumber party at the Babbitt's house in San Carlos! The house is huge, and spacious, and across the street from the beach! We played volleyball, ate lots of tacos, hung out in Hammocks, ate THEE best churros of my life, went on a night hike, had random dance parties, watched the sunset, paddle boarded, saw jellyfish, and made so many new memories with new and old friends! Definitely a trip for the books and I can't wait to work on the video for it! The rest of March was filled with weddings and homecomings and birth stories! Which I LOVE to do! Our city league vball league just ended and it was fun to play with Trennon again. Next season we will have Bromley on the team as well and were all stoked for that! So yeah life is good, just stayin busy which I like and New York is my next adventure that I am counting down the days for!! :)

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...
