Paradise

Hey guys! I know its been something like two weeks since I posted, which I apologize for.

My trip back home was for more than a vacation.

I went home to California to see my grandma, she'll be 97 in December and she has really bad Dementia.

I was told by my family that I needed to see her because they didn't know how much longer she will be around.

It was such a long drive, but I had my support system, my boyfriend, with me. It made the drive fun and the visit with my grandma not so heart breaking.

I ended up seeing her twice, I made my father, her son, go with me to see her. He probably wouldn't have gone if it wasn't for me talking him into it.

This post was supposed to be a short one, I wanted to be in bed by 10pm Utah time but that probably won't happen.

Friday, two days before I was leaving for Utah I woke up with a really sore throat.. I thought I was just getting sick but when I got home from seeing my grandma I felt something in the back of my throat. When I went to look in the mirror I saw something very disturbing.

I freaked out and went to urgent care. They said it was either a tonsil infection or cancer.. and prescribed amoxicillin. Thank goodness!! It is helping, so its not cancer!

OH! School started, I'm taking some hard classes: Business Law I, Digital Imaging, Quantitative Methods for Business & Economics and Marketing Principles. I've got quite the work load this semester.

Also, the quitting soda thing never worked out, I'm pretty sure its because I went home, and even though I love him, my boyfriend doesn't have the best eating habits, and it effects me when I'm out there too.

So! Now that I have returned to my wonderful home where all I have to worry about is me, I have decided that I need to take better care of myself, I have gotten a gym pass and I'm going to start working out and eating right. Wish me luck!

How are your classes going? Let me know! I'm also still down for that Bucket List exchange so if you're interested still, comment and we can talk about it!

Hope you have a great night!

      It was really scary! But it's gone now. And thank you, I appreciate that.

Life Changes

The year 2018 was not a good year for me. Two things that will send someone into a crippling depression happened to me... As I am still healing from this most recent one, I don't want to go into much detail. But for the rest of this post to make sense you'll need to know that Vincent and I are no longer together, after 8 years.. As time goes by I expect I will be able to open up about it. The past few years I have been stagnant. I still started a Master's program and got a new job as a manager, but I was just existing. I wasn't actually living my life. At the beginning of October I started a 6 week fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym in town. I lost 15 pounds and began to love myself again. But I still wasn't happy. It took the earth shattering, heart breaking, event to make me realize that I needed to do something about the way I have been living. I was one of those people who got up, went to work, came home and sat on the couch watching TV and waiting for the ...

Positivity

Warning : There is rambling. We are asked the same question over and over again while we become adults: When we are younger we say things like: Race car driver and Magician! Little do we know that our ideas on what we want to be in the future rarely stick. When I was a child I wanted to be a teacher, I think it was because I loved school and I respected my teachers, I looked up to them.  But as time went on, school wasn't so much fun anymore, it was more about discipline and our times tables. (You know, the hard stuff). I didn't like my teachers as much as I used to, so my dream of being a teacher changed pretty quickly. Of course, as I got older my dream job kept changing, it wasn't until my 13th birthday that I found the thing that stuck, Photography. My step dad bought me a Canon (I know, I know, gross) for my birthday. I took so many pictures!! And I was sure that photography was my thing, no one else's. ...

American Ninja Warrior

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Did you notice something different about tonight's post? Well, if you are an avid reader, I'm sure you have. Tonight's post's title is not a Coldplay song. (That sentence came out weird). I'm sitting here next to my mother watching a TV show called "American Ninja Warrior" Have you guys seen this show?? In my opinion it is Wipeout on steroids. Now, I'm sure the competitors aren't on steroids, it's just an expression. People from all over the country train for years (no joke) to get a shot at a million dollars. They go through these crazy obstacles trying to get the best time for completing the course. The top ten competitors from the semi-finals compete at "Mount Midoriyama" in Japan, which is the "birth place" of Ninja Warrior. I'm posting a short video so you guys can see what I'm talking about.   Check this out This show is truly amazing, s...
