My "Before" Picture

So my computer is being picky and not letting me rotate the picture before... so here is my "before" picture. It was nerd day for Logan and we all decided to take pictures of us being nerds with his glasses...

Spring Break Fun... or Not!

Spring Break has officially come to a close for me this year... and to be honest I didn't feel like it was any different than being in school. I have an annotated bibliography and outline due on Tuesday that I have been working on the whole time, and it honestly has sucked! I hate doing homework when we are suppose to have a break! Anyways, pretty much not Spring Break fun for me.

This week has been pretty mellow... I went on Relief Society Presidency visits with my dear friend Jessica this week. That was fun as it always is! I really enjoy going out and visiting the girls in the ward, it really helps me get to know them on a different level. I feel like we form more friendships over these visits.

Well there is not much more to report, sorry for the short update this week, hopefully I will have more to share next week....

One last thing... I have been asked by many friends to start updating my weight loss progress and how Weight Watchers is going for me. So at the end of each post I will put up my weight loss for that week and any significant things pertaining to my loss. I am  also putting up a "before" picture of me then maybe I can see more of difference as time goes on.

So for this week I lost 1 pound making my total loss of 17.8 pounds in 8 weeks!

Concert Hungry!!!

Hello again! It has been another week and I am here to blog again....

So today I was listening to my music and had the biggest craving for a concert... I am just dying to go to another concert! For those that don't know... I am a huge concert girl! I love going to concerts, especially alternative rock concerts. I was listening to Plain White T's album "Wonders of The Younger" and really started to miss them! They are going back around for a second time on their tour, but are sadly not coming back to Utah :(  I am really bummed because they were soooo... good in concert. I went to their concert to see the opener Parachute, whom I love, and fell in love with Plain White T's even more! I loved their songs before, but not nearly as much as I do now! I was so impressed at how entertaining they were and what a good show they put on. They were also very personal... after the show they hung out around their merch table while they chatted and took pictures with fans. It was pretty awesome meeting Tom! He is pretty rad!!!

Here I am with Tom...

Luckily a month from now I will be going to a concert that I am looking forward too. I will be seeing A Rocket To The Moon and Runner Runner, two of my favorite bands! I haven't seen ARTTM since they came with Secondhand Serenade in 2008 and am super excited to see them! Runner Runner has become one of my most favorite bands ever... they still don't be Secondhand Serenade, but they come in a close second! Anyways, I am super excited to see them both. In October I won tickets to a private concert from Runner Runner on the radio. There were only about 30 people there and it was sooo.. much fun! They are super amazing with their fans! They really get to know us as friends instead of fans! It has been fun being able to talk to them at and after shows and seeing how they still remember me and others from previous occasions. I think more bands should be like that, but that is why I like small under ground bands! They seem to be more in-tune to their fans and know them better, plus I have never had to pay more than $20 bucks a concert ticket!!! I here people who spend over $75 a piece to see bands and I just choke!!! So small bands it is for me!

Well... that's my rant on concerts and how much I love them... sorry it is so scattered, but heck! It's 11 pm...

I am going to get better at this!

Well... here I am again, trying to blog! I have decided to make a change though... I am going to do this a lot more often. I've decided that life is too exciting and adventurous to not share. So here I go at taking an attempt at being a better blogger....

So life has been crazy the past few months for me, so I will update you in bits with one story at a time to keep it more simple and easy to understand!

• First off... I have finished all my pre-reqs for some Nursing Schools and have applied. I have some other classes to work on to apply to a couple more schools, but I am taking it easy for now. I received my acceptance letter from SLCC, they gave me the entrance date of Fall 2015... yes, that is 4 1/2 years away!!! I know it won't be that long of a wait, but heck! I am not waiting that long...
• Secondly... My Stake was lucky enough to be able to form a YSA ward within our own boundaries, and must I say that I LOVE IT!!! This has been by far the best ward I have ever been to! I don't have to introduce myself to people all the time like I am the new girl in the ward like my old ward... which I attended for 2 years. I am in the RS Presidency and have absolutely loved my calling. I have been so busy, but have had a blast at the same time. I have been able to get to know the people in my ward on a different level, but the best thing about this calling is that I am not the shy girl I use to be... this calling has forced my out of my shell and I have loved it! I have had some really fun experiences in the ward and it has only been going since Oct. Best of all though, I have made some great friends! Some of my closest friends are in my ward! So yeah, Hunter YSA ward is an amazing ward!
• Thirdly.... if thirdly is a word??? I finally hit that point in life where I am tired of trying to lose weight with no help... so I gave in and joined Weight Watchers. Must I say that I love it! If any of you are my fb friends, you have probably seen my post already, but I will share it again because I am so pround of being so successful! I have lost 14.6 lbs to date and lost over 5% of my starting weight in 6 weeks. I am so excited!!! I have really learned a lot from this program. I can still eat what I want, just in moderation. The best thing is that I am seeing my self turn to healthier foods and habits naturally now. I ate a 3 Musketeers the other day and really regreted buying it, I would have rather had a banana... and when I go out with friends I would rather do active stuff instead of a movie or some other activity. Don't get me wrong I love my movies still, but I love being more active. I am just enjoying life so much more.
• Lastly... Just to sum up my simple life... Work is good, we are staying busy with babies, which I love!!! School is going... I am taking English 2010 this semester and it is pretty simple, but I hate writing papers all the time. I am finally feeling better after a nasty sinus infection that caused me to feel like I was sufficating in my sleep, but all is well now! There have been little bumps along the way but over all... life is good.

So here is my promise to blog more often! Keep watching for more post, they will have more details that I will put up on fb.... Life is good.... I am happy.... The sun has been shining... The End!!!
