Reality Checkin it.

         There is a thief in my house.


This is no lie.
 These last couple days, more and more of my things disappear. I have finally ruled out the thinking "maybe I need more sleep so I can remember where I put my things" I have come to the conclusion there has to be some one hiding in my closet or something.
The thief has taken:
-half my graduation announcements.
-never worn sandals
-peach lip gloss
-finger nail filer
I'm assuming it's a girl thief.
I want my stuff back.



On Friday I am graduating! It seems so unreal. I mean even though I go to school every other day for 2 classes a day. I feel like Davis is my little place to go.I finally can tell you how to get around that place.(Yes it may have taken me a while to learn, don't judge) It feels so recently and at the same time so long ago I moved to Utah, and just started everything for the 1st time. I can not believe in August it will be 2 years. That is just shocking to me.  As much as I hated Davis when I first moved here, I have learned to love that school. I have met so many incredible people, it's crazy. I have school 1 more time this week, then I can be a college gal:) That is insane.
    This weekend was great for many reasons:) So I am so thankful to have a much needed, fun, non stressful weekend. The only thing that would make me happier, is if the sun would just come out, and make the rain stop. It is May 30th, and 40 degrees. That should be a crime..

This week will be the busiest, and best week of my world. I have so many amazing plans.
-getting my hair done
-graduating!
-Senior party
-Lagoon
-Family reunion
-Having the best girls night
-Liz's birthday
-Game night
-Countdown until my birthday!!
and so much more...
Hello Happy week, nice to finally meet you:)

I wouldn't want to be any body else.

I know, I know. It has been 12 days since my last amazing blog post.
and I apologize now, you see I have several good excuses. So guess what? Preschool teaching is done. DONE.DONE. I have not seen them in 4 days, and I am barely making it. When my days are complete crap. And everything drives me literately insane, I used to know I'll just walk in Child Care and find a million kids cracking me up and doing a million hilarious things. I miss my little children...enough said.
Welp. I can't make decisions. It's official. I have to "eeine miny moe" absolutely everything. How can people make decisions so easy? If you are one of these spectacular gals, please oh please show up at my house and teach me.. I beg you. It has taken me so long to decide the good ole question,
"University of Utah...or  Weber University"
Purple wins? Yaa. I have turned down University of Utah and their scholarships, and praying Weber will be a good choice. Tomorrow I'm choosing my classes/days/hours, oh gosh more choices. So dear everyone at Weber, please oh please don't hate me. I'm a real nice gal.

Looks like I won't be reppin my purple weber colors. Sorry Weber, Purple is not my color. I look like a orange oompa loompa. not good. not good at all.
Teaching teaching teaching.. I am going into the "education department" I have known that for years. I always wanted to work with little children. I just love them. But what grade is the gigantic question? After working with infants- 5 yr olds 6 hours every day up until December, and 2 hours every other day until May, I realized how much I love those ages. They are so innocent, and the little things make them happy. I admire those children..(Sorry if I blog about them every 3 seconds.) Welp, I have been considering, what if I do higher elementary grades? What about even high school kids? Could I handle "know it all's". I have no idea!! But please oh please wish me a ton of luck on my teaching journey. Gracious.
i have lost 6 lbs this week.
oh em gee. I even already had my "splurge day". I'm thrilled.
So where in the world did the summer time go? I thought it was here this weekend.. but it fooled me. I want sun. I want real sun tan lines. I want to lay in my pool for hours.

Spring, is finally here!

I think it is SPRING TIME NOW!!!!     Finally I think it is spring. Thank heavens. I mean for goodness sake's it's May 7th. I have been outside all day. Kylie and I went on a morning run. As pretty as it was outside, I think going to Crossroads is my cup of tea:) I would much rather do that darn elliptical then run up and down hills, IN THE HEAT, and early in the morning. So tomorrow, screw the run, and appreciate Crossroads. Then I decided my poor puppy Allie has been deprived from her summer walks.. so I went on a walk with her, where some stupid dog freaking tried to chase after us... causing us to run home. I mean RUN home. I went to babysit my 2 favorite little girls ever, and we went to this little pond and fed ducks. Theeeeen tonight I went on a fun date, to Layton park, and had a pic-nick and played games. Now you can believe me when I say I have been outside all day. I didn't have my camera all day, and my phone camera has been freezing on me all day so I didn't get a lot of pics. =///
This is one of the pictures I did get today, I think it is so pretty because you can see how SUNNY and bright it is. Yay, this picture makes me so excited for Summer!
I can't wait for shorts,tan lines,pools,staying up all night,Bonn fires, sitting out side all the time and relaxing every day!

"You sign our cards and letters BFF, youve got a million ways to make me laugh"










I was sorting through all my pictures tonight and came across some "super amazing" ones. So I decided to upload just several pictures:). These some of the most amazing girls in my life. Y'all have helped me through so much from forcing me to church on the Sunday's I didn't want to go, going on midnight trips to wal-mart, or making me laugh when I needed it the most. I love you girls.
The little girl's I nanny for, are made to listen to this "best friend" song once a week. Even though this song is made for 3 year old's.. It is so true.


Missing something you never have had.

       Honestly. I really didn't want to blog about this..But I might just have too. I apologize now if this sounds completely stupid or just dumb. Today, I was driving home from work. I pass two parks on the way to my house. The first park I passed there was a STOP sign. I always stop and never think anything about it. This time when I stopped I looked at the park. I saw a dad pushing there little girl on the swings. My windows were down and I herd them laughing and having like the best times of BOTH their lives. I remember when I was little, and went to the park, I always wondered what it would be like to have a dad push me on the swings. When I got older, I never thought much about it, I actually never wondered why my dad didn't go to the park with me. I had a "ssomewhat" relationship with my dad until I was about 4 I think. When I was 4-8, I think that is when I realized he wanted nothing to do with me. The anger kicked in when I was 8, I was beyond mad that other little girls just loved and adored there dad's and I just didn't..didn't at all. I remember crying every night for 3ish years,because I wanted to know what it was like to have a "dad", that loved,supported, and was simply there for me.
I don't think there is a way to fully 100% accept the fact that your "dad" wants nothing
to do with you, but I think every day if you try to accept the fact, it does come easier. I just try to forget totally about him, although little reminders hit you sometimes..like today. Within the last year I have tried my hardest to cope with the fact that I have been more or less disowned by him. I just wonder what it would be like. What it would be like to call someone "Dad". To say "I love you dad". To simply talk with him without being repeatedly verbally abused or degraded. People say every girl needs a dad in their lives. As much as I never wanted to believe this comment, I can now say yes I believe it. Dad I needed you. I always needed you. I tried to act like it was okay. But it's not. I never thought you could miss something you never had.. But when you see others having it. You learn to long for that.
Although, I have never had a "dad" in my life. I am so thankful to have a Heavenly Father
in my life. Who won't leave me when things gets hard. Who will love me unconditionally. Who will be there to pick me up when I fall, and who will "push" me on my personal swings in life. It's terribly crazy how typing all this out, led me to this conclusion. Sorry about such a draining post. Tomorrow's will be uplifting I pinky promise:)

"I'm just a simple girl, loving my life..The way one should"

Some how a full can of febreze fell all over my carpet in my room.
You would think this would be a decent smell to inhale.NO. It is beyond strong.
So my window is open and since Utah has physco weather, my room is colder then my freezer.
YAY.

    You know those days where you just don't want to do a thing? But you seem to have a million things to do?Well.. That was my day, plus it's a Monday... So that makes it a million times harder. So I just realized that on May 10th, will mark the 1 yr to my "weight loss journey" I guess you can call it. Even though I haven't been dieting and exercising for a year (That would be crazy!)I have managed to have kept the weight off, and actually loose 13 more pounds from what I originally wanted to loose. As of today, I would have lost, 40 lbs, since May. I am beyond proud of myself, not for loosing it, but for having the discipline to keep it off. I want to loose 10 more lbs to be "satisfied" and 20 more lbs to be "thrilled".So I was reading some one's blog yesterday and they wrote 100 random/cool facts about them.

"because every time you smile, my day gets a little better..."

   It's not a good sign when you can not think of a single thing to blog about,on your first entry. I'm going to give this "blogging adventure" a try. I always admired girls who could blog all the time, they actually inspired me to do this. Who could tell the world their feelings. Who didn't hold in their issues, who just shared them. I apologize now for not making any sense, spelling every other word wrong, rambling on and on about nothing, or just coming across nuts! I am an awful writer, and I am pretty much terrible about opening 100% up. So please wish me luck..alot of it.
  This weekend has been amazing. From an amazing date,dinner with my mom,Lexi's birthday,and spending 8 hours in a car with amazing friends, and my puppy's birthday..I dont't know how it could of gotten much better. I am so blessed to know that I have friends that love me, family that loves me, and a God who loves me.
On Friday I went Lexi's birthday party. She is one of the little girls' that I babysit. She was so happy I was there. I had plans that night..and honestly I didn't want to go to her little party. It feels like all I do is nanny or work at the Child Care Center.Which gets DRAINING. So I was happy that Friday I didn't work or nanny. I had that whole night off. Did I mention I had amazing plans also??
  Well..it was 6 the time her party started...I decided I wasn't going to go. At 6:15 I get a call, and it's Lexi, she was wanting to know if I was coming to her party. (There was no way I could say no..) So I said yes, and finally showed up.Well long story short.. She was beyond happy I was there.. she would show me off to all of her friends, and brag about me to everyone. It was the cutest thing. She had a "special goodie bag" just for me also. All Lexie did was smile. After the party, as I was telling this little girl bye, she said this to me," Ashy, I am so happy you came, Thank you SO much, you made my birthday special, I have been waiting for you to come to my birthday for 4 days now!" When she told me this it made everything a 100x better. Even though, I thought going to her birthday would be a waste of time, it ended up being a really special thing for her. I am so glad I could help make this little girls' birthday special!     
                                                   HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLIE!
This is Allie. She is my "puppy" Even though she is 4..and everyone thinks she is a grown dog not a puppy..She is like my most treasured item ever. Today was her birthday! I got her when she was 5 weeks old, and since then I fell in love with her.Yes, she gets dressed up every day and is one of the most spoiled dogs' out there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING!
This is King. He is my other doggy. My brother named him King King King...I think he has been a little insecure about his name. He doesn't act like a puppy so I call him doggy. I hope you see how this "language" is working?? King and Allie are twins:) He is my brothers' dog. King is a little "deprived" in my opinion..He doesn't get dressed up every day, or spoon fed. King isn't a spoiled dog,but I think deep down inside he gets a tad jealous..(= Happy Birthday King.
