.Up.to.Date.

It has been more than a while since I have posted. Just been caught up in a little thing called "life." I need and want to keep blogging. So here's me playing catch up and giving this another go. Ummm, Well we found out at the end of August last year we were pregnant with twins, but in October I miscarried and  it was really hard, but we believe that everything happens for a reason and we have a long time to have kids. I turned 20 on Christmas and AJ turned 25 in June, we went to Sedona for his birthday!. It is so pretty there! 

 We moved, and now live in the heat of the valley. AJ moved first, almost a year ago actually. I still worked in the mountains until last May. I was driving over a thousand miles a week and pretty much living out of my car. I started working at the same company that AJ does in May, so we car pool to work everyday. It is soo nice!!. We went from over $600.00 dollars a month in gas to $200.00.. AJ lost his G-pa in April and it has been extremely hard on the whole family, but everyone is slowly moving forward. We miss him dearly!.  We just did a float for him in the Parade the Heber puts on every year and it was nice to go up and get out of the heat for the weekend and see family!! 

 My nephew is visting for the summer and we have had some fun time with him, he is such a Character! 

 Our animals now consist of, A pig, Horse, Two Dogs, Two Cats, Four Fish, A Bird, and a Rabbit. Yes it is like a small zoo. That's it for now, My next post won't be so far down the road!.

Sick..

Towards the end of December, Aj was playing with my hair and behind my right ear he found a dark redish, brown spot, It was never there before and it did not bother me so I forgot about it and just figured it would go away.  In February the area around the spot started to swell and hurt me pretty bad. So I went to the doctor, they did some tests and than started treatment right away.  So by march I had for sure found out that I have a type of cancer, I have abnormal cancer cells in my body and they gathered on my head and came to the surface of my skin and discolored and killed those skin cells. I also have a spot on my right ear. I found out that the cancer is benign and have been getting some nice painful treatments ever since. They make me sick to my stomach and give me very bad headaches. I am hoping that this will all be over soon and life can go back to normal. :)

Far Behind..

I am so far behind it is sad! So I guess I will just jump into recapping...

Aj and I were able to take one day off in early March and we headed down to Roosevelt Lake where his Grandparents were camping. The whole goal of this trip, besides a little get away, was to teach me how to fish. You see I have never fished before and Aj was set on turning me into a fisherman. We went out on the boat and low and behold I caught the first fish, Not only did I catch  my first fish ever, I caught three!!

(My First Fishie Ever!, Aj was proud. HaHa)

We are such animal lovers, and our little family has grown from us and our dog, to us, our dog, our horse, our bird, and our goat. Yes I said Goat.

Meet Princess Nellie..

She is soo cute, Has a attitude and I could not love her more, yes how strange I have a pet goat, but she really is soo much fun. :)

We also have our bird Julia, When we decided to get her, she was very loving to me in the pet store, but once we got her home we have come to find that she hates women, she simply tricked me into letting Aj get her and bring her home. She only repeats things I say, even though she is not fond of me, I still love her.

I have lots more to post, but I don't want to do a post overload tonight, So I am going to take some time to catch up on all the fabulous blogs I have missing oh so much!.

Day Three & Four..

Yesterday was day three of the challenge.. Day Three:Today's focus is on the blessings in your life.So grab a notebook and keep track of each and every blessing that comes your way.When you're looking for them, you'll be sure to find them... I kept my little notebook, and when I was going threw it last night, I realized that I had somethings written more than once, So I decided I would just share those..

• My family, They are wild, just a little more than crazy, but they are ALWAYS there for me when I need them, or even if I don't!
• Aj!, He helps me in everything I do, he is always the hand that is right there picking me up when I fall.
• My Heavenly Father, I get threw get day, just knowing he is on my side!.
• A roof over my head.
• I get to go to school, some would not see that as a blessing, but to have the chance to continue your education is one that many don't have.
• I have clothes on my back and food in my belly.

Those were just a few, I decided that I am going to keep on writing them down. I am going to keep my little notebook with me all the times, so when I am down and out feeling sorry for myself, I can look at my notebook and never forget how very blessed I am!.

Day Four!

Today is day number 4 for me..

Todays Challenge:

Often times we can get caught up in negative self talk.

Or in being negative period.

We tend to speak to ourselves more horribly than we would ever imagine speaking to someone we love.

So today, that stops.

With every negative thought that comes into your mind,

first immediately STOP it...

And then, replace that thought with what is TRUE and positive.

Even better, get some index cards and write out the negative thought on one side,

and the truth on the other.

Along with the truth, you could find a bible verse or quote that further encourages you in that area.

Notice what a difference you feel about yourself and about life at the end of the day.

I am horrible with this!, I also find my self comparing myself to others, I am going to stop that today!. :)

No soda going good!, I had to restock my frige so I don't see the soda, because that is what I automatically go for, but all in all, It is going pretty darn good!..

Day Two :)

Today's Challenge:

Let today be a day that you are focused on going out of your way to show love and kindness to the people around you.Whether that means sending a card,
writing a thoughtful email or note,
doing a chore for someone,
or spending extra intentional time with a friend, child or family member....
Whatever it may be, just find as many ways as you can throughout the day and do them.
And do them with a heart full of love.

I got a few cards sent out today to people that I don't tell enough how I love them and how Amazing they are.. :)

& thanks to everyone in my life, that make it is worth living!

Pss.. No Soda, going good!. :)

Day One.

So today was Day One for me of 21 Days to a Better You..

The First Challenge:

Day 1:

Think of something you are willing to give up for 21 days,

and commit to it once and for all.

Write it down.

Tell someone so they can help to hold you accountable.

and remember,

it's just for 21 days.

you can do anything for 21 days.

I decided....

 to give up Soda, I know that it is so cliche, but it is something that I have wanted to stop for a while, it is all I drink.. So today was my first day without soda, One day down, twenty more to go!! :)

This is all thanks to summer over at..

Go check her out!

Ps.. Aj and I got a Jardine Parrot today, her name is Julia.
