Well its one of those nights Hayden has school till super late, so I have some free time to do whatever. So I made dinner, twice! ( because the first meal I cooked sucked), then I worked out, and now I blog. I am a productive machine! Oh and I accepted a promotion to be a banker yesterday...Im rolling! But in all seriousness, we are very grateful I got that promotion, an early Christmas gift you could say. Its funny cause when I first started with Wells Fargo I was so turned off by our pushy sales tactics, and I even once told Hayden and I quote " I will never be a banker, thats a terrible job!"....well money is a great motivator. No I'm kidding, what changed my mind would probably just have to be the principle of sticking it out. I have never had a job longer than the one I have now... and what once was a weakness can become a strength if you work hard. I still hate selling, and I hate when people do it to me..cause I have issues saying No. But I have made it my specialty to sell with a smile and kindness, people just think Im friendly when I talk about a loan. Its kinda awesome.
On a different note, the "holistic healing" of my arthritis is going much better. And I think I've narrowed it down to my adjustments from my chiropractor. They are really starting to make a difference. I haven't had too much trouble getting up in almost one full week. My goal is to be running by Christmas! When I started to feel better, I got a little worried cause as far as I was concerned nothing major changed in my diet, or in what ever else I did so I feared I was pregnant ( supposedly pregnancy cures RA)...were not. *deep breath*
And now I shall talk about my lesson to the Young Women I gave on sunday. Talk about a headache. Well a blessing headache, is there a such thing? Anyway, I obviously know Im not very creative. I suck at crafts and cute little bows and catchy phrases. So all those possibilities flew out the window when planning. I just really wanted to plan a lesson that would reach the Young Women, that they could hear what I had to say and it wouldnt be too far off in relation to what they were experiencing. The whole title of the Lesson was "overcoming your problems"....and well lets see I have had many problems, and most of which I have overcome. I know that when your in high school boys are a huge fat freaking deal. So I may or may not have told the saga of Hayden ripping my heart out and then giving it back to me. Such a sweet tale. No but really, I know that we as girls WIG out over that kind of thing, we literally think its the end of the world if your not loved back. Well I told them about how its not the end of the world. And I shared with the the Mormon Message "Mountains to Climb". Which really quickly I will share that for one second I tried to get creative with that talk and bought the candy "mounds" and put them in a really ugly pumpkin vase I bought at walmart...and I forgot to hand them out....Moving along, I felt the lesson went well, theres obviously going to always be those young women who avoid eye contact, the ones that text and talk, and the ones who look at you like you are an alien from another planet. but I know deep down that they get me. They've been there. and if there not its coming. and believe me I told them that too. Life only gets harder and that better cling to that testimony of theres. Im so glad i developed a sense of who i was before I married Hayden. Im so happy i had a boat load of trials before having a husband. I like that I have a past...a good, happy, full one. It makes marriage so much more rewarding now.
Well i think thats all I got. I dont have a baby yet, so I dont post pictures. follow me on insta for that. hahahah I have always wanted to do a "follow me" shout out. Check that off the list:)

One Year.
its been close to one year since I have hopped on here to talk about my life. which is so funny to me. why would I stop blogging about my life when I am the most happiest. I should want to remember all of this. as we all know I got married in january, and I have been living in Boise ever since. Hayden works his tail off with his lawn business, I work at the bank, and currently we both serve with the youth. Oh and hayden goes to school full time. God bless him.
I dont really know how or where to start on summing up the beginning stages of our marriage, the ups and downs and all the blessings in between. I guess I will do a top five list. The top five memorable things that have happened thus far.
1. we have made 3 trips back to Arizona since January. all in a car. thats been memorable. One of the trips we were able to take pierce back with us, that was fun. hayden is obsessed with road trips I have learned. He gets an extreme high off them. I enjoy them, just not in the night. and most times we have left in the evening and drive the whole night through. I am fully familiar with nevada and its extreme lasting dreariness. not much in that state.
2. the temple. We have made it a priority to spend time there, and of course we should go more, but we have been extremely blessed for the times we have gone. I love that place, but I especially love it with Hayden. We went to the Mesa temple one time when we were in Arizona. and that place was PACKED, like an event center!!
3. Hayden bought me my first car. MY CAR. it was pretty cool, and I must say I still love the freedom of having something that is MINE. (you learn to share everything in a big family).
4. Currently we have made the big decision to go off all my RA meds, and try a homeopathic route. It has been something very painful to go through...and I am so blessed to not have to do it alone. It is so humbling, and it brings us together. Most mornings he piggy backs me down the stairs, gets me out of bed, gets me a glass of water in the night (because at that point my joints are too tight to walk). He does it all, and he does it with a smile.He is a hero. oh and he tells my doctors off when I am too nice to stick up for myself.
5. I cant really think of any other major things that have took place, but just being here, in a new place for me, and being by his side is huge. Every day with him is an adventure. there is no one like him. I love taking part in all the season changes has to offer. Autumn is AMAZING. i cant believe I have gone my whole life without one...winter on the other hand...:/
anyway, my update is that I am more in love than I was a year ago, and I am that much more blessed because of my marriage.
