The Important Things

To preface, yes, I know I should be on campus studying. And I will go, but allow me to indulge for a minute and tell you about some of the most important things in my life.

1. Kevin Labrum

Oddly enough... this picture describes him all-too-well. It is true, my husband is [absolutely] crazy... but I love it. He couldn't be more perfect for me. He brings me out of my shell, he is patient, he is forgiving, he makes me laugh till it hurts, he is romantic, he is dedicated and hard-working, and he tells me he loves me. Every single day.

"They called them crazy when they started out, they've been together 58 years now." - Love Like Crazy, Lee Brice

2. Jana Pendleton

What can I say? I have the BEST mom, ever. No contest. She's the one that's always there, no matter what. She is stronger than anyone I know. She is the more selfless than anyone I know. She is smarter than anyone I know. My mom is constantly giving and never takes enough time for herself. I only hope that someday I can be half the woman she is.

"I know you were on my side even when I was wrong. And I love you for giving me your eyes, for staying back and watching me shine." -The Best Day, Taylor Swift

3. Morgan Watson

I don't have words to adequately describe how I feel about this girl. She is incredible. I don't know a single other person that could do what she has done in the past three months with the same attitude. She is stronger than I am for sure. Morgan is courageous, unique, hilarious, admired, beautiful, and unstoppable. She's my hero.

"You don't have to feel like a wasted space. You're original, cannot be replaced. If you only knew what the future holds. After a hurricane comes a rainbow." -Firework, Katy Perry

My thoughts.

Proof

I always knew my husband was too good to be true.

Now I have PROOF.

A couple of days ago he actually told me he likes doing dishes.

Nobody likes doing dishes... except him, apparently.

Craving

I am dying for one of these right now.

A Strawberry Surfrider.

I just can't talk myself into spending the money.

Dangit.

A minor detail...

Guess what??

I'm sooo excited!

And happy.

Why? Because I am officially a Family and Consumer Science major...

with a Visual Arts minor!!!!

And I just registered for two art classes. I am so freaking stoked. I think I'm going to take Drawing and Intro to Graphic Design but that may change. I've already taken 2D design but I really want to take it again here at the Y because I've heard it is amazing.

I'm going to rock it :)

Until later, tootaloo.

Registration Blues

It's that time again for school registration.

1) I can't believe this semester can possibly be over half-way over.

2) Uggggh! Let me explain.

Right now I am living out my exact "life dream." Ever since I can remember I was always going to be a teacher and I was always going to go to BYU. Always. I want to be a teacher. I am made to be a teacher. But what if I'm not? What if I'm made to be something different. Interior design is my passion. It gives me a chance to be creative and it makes me excited. I've always said, "Well, I'm going to be a teacher... but my dream job would be to be an Interior Designer." I just never thought it was logical, nor did I think I had what it took.

Well I just so happened to marry the single most amazing man in the world (I know, barf, right?) who wants me to just be happy. He wants me to follow my dreams and do what I love. And so do I. There is nothing I want more than to do exactly that.

One problem... BYU doesn't have an Interior Design program. Neither does UVU. SLCC looks like my only option but it is only for an Associate's Degree... great, I already have one of those. Sure, I could get two, but I've always thought that Associate's Degrees aren't enough, especially now days. I just don't think I could possibly stop everything I'm doing here and just jaunt off and get another Associate's. So here I sit almost dreading the classes I've got on my schedule wishing somehow somewhere had the degree for me.

I was telling Kevin the other day, I feel like I finally decided to follow my dreams and the door got slammed in my face. I'm so frustrated. Any suggestions?

Changes

I'm back everyone (all two or three of you)... The past few days I haven't been able to keep myself away from the blog world. I love it. I love looking at what everyone is doing. Everyone is so talented and it inspires me. I think blogging can be therapeutic. I hope it is. Kevin has been bugging me to get back on here for quite a while... I think I will. There are so many things I want to do with my life. It is hard picking out what is most important. I feel changes coming soon and I want them to be amazing-- life deserves to be amazing, don't you think? So, here it is... a compilation of my thoughts, feelings, dreams. I have a new-found determination and I'm excited to see where life takes me. Stay tuned.

I love him because...

He is studying his cute little butt off to get good grades so he can get into his program in a couple semesters. He wants to be able to support our family and I am so thankful for that. 11 days and counting! Stay tuned...

I love him because...

He makes me dinner in bed when I'm sick

:) good stuff right there.

i love you honey!

2 weeks!!

Welcome to our blog! It's official, today is 2 weeks!! I can't believe it. On one hand it seems like yesterday that Kevin and I got engaged but then again, it feels like forever. All I know is that we are exciiiiiiiited :) Not only do we have wedding planning going on but next week is finals week. Kevin has one Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Then on Saturday we have graduation. I am the Salutatorian so I "get" to speak at it. I'm soooo nervous... Especially because Elder Holland is speaking too! After graduation I get to go through the Manti Temple. I am so out of this world excited. I know it is going to be incredible. Then, we get to come back, finish packing, and head out to Vernal to move in. ...It is going to be one crazy week! I was going to leave you with a cute picture of us but dang blogger won't let me so maybe next time!
