1. List 20 random facts about yourself. I have rods in my back, i have two full drawers of socks, my bf calls me chubby bunny cuz of my huge cheeks, i hate doing my own nails, my feet used to be ticklesh but now they're not, i can't ever decide on a hair color, i hate scary movies, i sleep with a nightlight, i hate the smell of metal, i take pics of my gas tank being full cuz it makes me happy and i never know when it will happen again, i don't like oranges because my mom is allergic, i have a really good shot with a gun, i love therapy and yoga and wish i could be a vegan hippie, i also wish i could be a glamour star diva, i have lots and lots of conflicting wishes, my bff is my bff becuase we speak psych, i have no clue what career i want, my fave movie is Like Crazy, i know sign language, i worked in the prison. Is that 20? lol
2. Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears. I fear loneliness because my mom was single most of her life, i fear death because my dad died and it destroyed me, i fear getting fat. Just because.
3. Describe your relationship with your spouse. Um, well my boyfriend actually... is amazing. The greatest blessing I have ever been blessed with. My best friend. We are completely opposite and disagree on most everything. He compliments me perfectly. He babies me. Bad. Reminds me of my dad spoiling me. I love it. Boyfriend is so patient with me. And forgiving. And lets me do my thing. He loves me more than anyone has ever loved me. He makes me laugh more than anyone has ever made me laugh. We have our own little world and we love it. He knows me better than anyone... and still stays with me lol. I love sharing sacred moments with him and being vulnerable with him. It just feels right. He drives me nuts. I love him so much.
4. List 10 things you would tell your 16 year-old self, if you could. Haha ummm have a plan for after college, minor in dance even tho you hate their program, don't do independent study classes just finish on campus, you're doing great!, be nicer to everyone, don't get wrapped up in the drama, listen to more Josh Kelley radio on pandora, and don't worry your mom will divorce him soon and find wonderful gordi, when you get the urge to go to DC- maybe have a plan before you buy that one way plane ticket. Don't get your nose pierced. Stop making out with so many boys you lil slut. Don't freak out about the long distance- you'll end up with William anyway.

6. If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for? My IS classes and grad school apps to be done, a wedding. tomorrow. ;), a money tree.

Grandma gives me strength everyday. God makes everything possible and gives blessings and comfort along the way. My dad blesses me from above, endlessly. My bishop is keeping hayes and i on the straight and narrow heading to mister temple. My dancers- every last one. I love them so so so much. William.. is my everything.

Wake up, get ready for work at H&M, work for about 7 hours, go snuggle boyfriend, then go either teach at the dance studio or work with janae, then dinner with william, then go home and pinterest and journal and pray and go to bed.
13. What’s the hardest part of growing up? Everything. I never thought I would face this much. Figuring out what you want to do with your life, your career. Love- love is the best and sometimes the hardest thing. There is no handbook on relationships, it is hard to figure out and be vulnerable and at some point, someone gets hurt. Money. Money, unfortunately, rules the world. Finding balance in all things. Fighting weight gain. Going back to school for a masters. Finding money to fund that degree. Trying to plan for the future when you don't even know where you'll be tomorrow. Then adding another person into all that.

Sick girl status.
10/26
Well i fear my facebook friends are gettin real sick of seeing all my 'sick girl' pics and updates, yet i have plenty more to say. So, here we go.
Okay so it all started on Monday. I was having life anxiety about having a college degree and folding clothes for a living, not knowing where i want to go or who i want to be. So, I took a temp job in an insurance office for a day in hopes of having a follow up interview. Got there, they stuck me in tiny office with no windows or humans, reading tiny numbers and making phone calls to French people. i started making the calls, but after a while, I freaked. i began to panic. my hands started shaking. i ran to the bathroom and puked my guts out and went home thanking goodness that i would have the opportunity to fold clothes in a lively environment with music, interaction and the greatest people in the world the following day. (i don't do well in offices lacking emotional and interpersonal stimulation)
Well i went home to sleep it off, but to my surprise, woke up feeling worse. i slept thru the night, but could hardly breathe the next morning. my stomach pain was intense and i spent almost all of Tuesday in the bathroom. In fact, i've spent everyday since then the exact same way. The body aches are unforgiving and the headache- relentless. The throwing up has stayed down to once or twice a day, mainly in my throat, but i haven't been so fortunate on the other end (ew gross). I can't eat. The mere thought makes me sick. I am down to about 200 calories a day. The weird thing- i haven't had a fever, nobody around me has gotten sick (aka boyfriend), i haven't traveled out of the country or gone camping, and no... I'M NOT PREGNANT. haha if i had a dime for every time someone asked me that in the past week. i really just thought it was the stomach flu... but i can hardly move now. I went to instacare yesterday but they couldn't diagnose me so they sent me home with nausea medicine and some pedialite (sp?). I woke up worse and went to the U where they gave me Another pregnancy test (which was negative as i insisted) and hooked me up to an IV (ThrEe pokes later) to give me some fluids since i was so dehydrated. They ran some urine and blood tests that i will find out about on Monday. Doc thinks it may be a bladder or kidney infection. He put me on some meds and sent me home. Am i feeling better? more or less.
But i think this battle has been as much mental as it has been physical. First off, let's talk about everything i've missed... aka work! okay i'm not exactly financially fit these days. missing a week of work... Ouch! really not ideal. at all. Not to mention it's been an uphill battle to get my shifts covered, but i've had a lot of help at the dance studio so that is nice. Additionally, i have missed basically everything that requires leaving my bed. i lay here all day and watch tv. everytime i think i'm well enough to leave the house... i soon regret it. it's weird... when you're sick it feels like you'll Never get better. or is that just me? it feels like this is my life now- no wonder i'm depressed. i've never been sick for longer than a day or two, so this is just cramping my style.
But i have had some serious support... William has been a Saint! I don't even know where to begin. He has literally waited on me hand and foot. And since i ended up going cold turkey on my normal daily meds... i haven't exactly been the most pleasant to be around. But boy he has had more patience and love and forgiveness than anyone i know. Talk about Charity and Christ-like attitude. This man exemplifies the Savior. I have cried multiple times each day, but he has been there for every tear. He has rubbed my back and gotten my meds each time i've needed. He goes straight from the house to class, and then runs back home to check on me in between classes even tho he's still trying to cram in his work and school load at the same time. I feel bad, but this experience has really made him grow up quick and he's done it with flying colors. I can't say enough good things about my man, he has really pulled thru for me.
And he's not the only one... my mom has been a Huge help and support, in more than one way. She met me at the doctor today and got me the help i may have otherwise missed out on.
And from everyone else! i am really just so grateful for the concerned texts and comments and prayers... they mean a lot to mean. When you're cooped up in a bed all day it's nice to see how much people care.
So here's to hoping I get better. prayers welcomed. I guess this illness will just run its course, which hopefully won't be too much longer. Choking down crackers and water will only last so long.
all in all this experience has helped me be So grateful for my health- please protect yours. And it has made me truly admire and look up to those individuals that have to endure longer illnesses. It makes me sick (lol) to think of someone having to live this way for longer a week. What strong spirits are among us!
