Last night we completed our final class in the hypnobirthing series! I’m so grateful Carter was supportive enough to come to the three hour classes with me over the past four weeks. After finishing his 10 hour work shift, he’d head straight to our class on birthing and hypnosis… poor guy! I don’t blame him READ MORE

Our Hypnobirthing Experience- week 2
Baby keeps stretching and kicking inside my belly. I swear he is doing somersaults sometimes! Looks like we may have a little gymnast in the making. 😉 With our birth day beginning to approach, more and more of my time is filled with preparing for the birth of our baby. Sorting through baby clothes, subscribing READ MORE
3 Days in Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks
We’ve been back for a week and I’m finally getting around to sharing our experience in Zion and Bryce! I’ll admit I was worried about camping at this point in my pregnancy. I had no idea what activities I’d feel up to doing and was so worried that Carter would be bored waiting around for READ MORE

Who here has had that college life crisis (or 10) of frantically worrying over what you want to do after it’s all over? Carter used to tease me about how often I changed my mind, about the many career ideas I’d bounce off of him. His course had been set for the last decade of READ MORE
The Lowly Worm
I can’t believe the bipolarity of this Utah weather. We woke up to a rainy forecast, only to find it beautiful while walking up to campus. In my first class, I couldn’t believe the blizzard that lasted most of the 75 minutes and then some. I could hardly see as I made my way to READ MORE

Find the One who makes life easy
I’ll admit I was terrified to commit to marriage. While I had always dreamed of finding my perfect prince charming, I was surrounded by a world of unhappy, broken, suffering marriages. Marriages that thought they would end in “happily ever after”. Couples who thought they could commit to love and to cherish in sickness and READ MORE
Their Disability does not Define Them.
Today was just a good day at work. I sat with one of the ladies on the porch, enjoying the cool spring air. We just talked about life. Joys, sadness, spring. Then we went inside and she learned to make her own pizza for the first time ever. I couldn’t help the joy I felt. READ MORE
