update on the last few months!

some good and not so good.
but the most important thing is that it is memorable. :)



during our easter egg hunt i got the golden egg!
yay me!


my baby sister turned 18 and then graduated high school. so weird!!



i also roadtripped to california and i got see some of my family
 which was bittersweet in light of the circumstances of which we made the trip.
more on that in my next post...

i also got to see my grandma and grandpa duitsman 
in may during lyndsie's graduation and i had a blast. 
i love how the older you get the more you understand and it's great to develop
 adult type relationships.
scary how i'm not a kid anymore huh??
trust me, i know. :)
we took a 3 day trip through rapid city and did some sight seeing.
and it was really nice to be able to spend time with them.
i wish they lived closer because i just have so much fun laughing!
lots of things i will always remember.

then i also just got back yesterday from another weekend in rapid city
because elder holland came to speak to my stake.
and i'll post about that in another post as well.
but never in my life has anyone's words or testimony rang truer to my ears. 
ever.
and his words will stick with me for the rest of my life.

but yeah basically for the last month and a half it has been go go go.
and i feel like i've spent more time in hotels and eating out
than i've spent time in my own house.
haha so sad.
but hopefully the madness is over and i can get back to my routine. 
dont get me wrong i have been so grateful for the craziness because i think it keeps life interesting and it as ost definitely kept me busy and on my toes. 
haha and then throw work into the mixture!
work is going good.
like i always say make the best of the worst situations.
not that this is a bad situation in the least.
i am extremely grateful for my job. :)

uhm but other than that,
i have set a habit of working out at least an hour a day.
and i'm getting results slowly but surely.
but the main thing is that i am actually doing it.
and i feel so great everyday!

oh and i have been on a mission to control my a.d.d.
because it has gotten to be so bad since i graduated high school.
i think it has a lot to do with my sleeping problems and 
i think the biggst contributor to the whole issue is my computer.
and piece by piece i've cut things out. 
and now i'm lucky really if i get on for 20 minutes when i get home from work.
and i am totally okay with that.
i've become a little anti-technology and i'm pretty sure my children will hate me for it one day.
haha.

but anyways i managed to control it enough
to where i read my first book in 3 years.
i know, i know!
for those of you who knew me in high school know i constantly had my nose stuck in a book at every spare second i had.
so this was a huge accomplishment for me!
and now i'm working on book #2!!
i am so sick of being bound to my computer and distractions!
i mean life should be happy and simple and full of people to make you happy!
so buh bye a.d.d. and hello living a full life!! :)

I need to do that!! I bought my a book and have also made it my goal to read more...and get away from technology. It really is such a huge distraction. We are too much alike! ;) We should keep up on each other...ya know...like keeping one another on their toes and perhaps share about the books we are reading or something. It could be like our little book club! haha Love ya!
