Disney Spring Break

My last spring break as a college student was well spent and the most magical place on earth. Disneyland! We have never been able to go on vacation with David's family because they have always been on an opposite schedule from us, but this year we were able to make it work. 

We waited in zero lines and overall had a great trip. 

founder's day

Do you know when the University of Utah was founded (without googling it)? I do, February 28, 1850. I am so lucky to be a part of this university. I love it so much and am so grateful for the opportunity to attend. Because I work for the Alumni Association, Founder's Day has become kind of a big deal. There are many events leading up to the big dinner/ celebration and one of the days they had a student lunch where Pat Jones (one of the Alumni Recipients) came and spoke. Normally I don't care too much about guest speakers, but she was incredible. So knowledgable, so humble and I am so grateful to have had the chance to talk to her and learn from her. 

Frozen on Ice

I have been dying to go to frozen on ice ever since it was announced over a year ago. If you know me at all you know that I am obsessed with all things Disney and Frozen especially. Well, fast forward to last weekend and I still did not have tickets or have anyone to go with. I debated if it was worth it to go alone or if I should just let myself miss out. Well lucky for me, my niece and sister in law and brother were in town and they were all for going.

It was everything I hoped for and more and wasn't cheesy as Disney on Ice usually is. I would have gone again!

on balance

I think it is safe to say that we are all searching for balance in our lives. Whether we formally call it "balance" or time management or whatever it may be, it seems to be a stress factor in most people's lives. And if it is not...lucky lucky you. Please share your tips with me!

This year, the number one goal/resolution/word of the year for me is balance. Ever since starting my own business (tiny turbans-hair accessories), I have had the worst time management skills. I used to be great at balancing everything I loved, and now, not so much. I am constantly searching for ways to make my time stretch and to be able to do all the things I want to and well after months of searching, I am writing a blog about balance not using my time wisely...that's how well it is going for me ;)

Being a full time student, working 2 jobs, being involved in multiple things on campus and being married sure takes up a lot of time. I knew that my number one priority of course had to be my marriage and making sure that my husband knew he was the most important thing in my life (I am not sure I am always the best at showing it, but I sure try and he is great and always forgives me). So how do I find balance for everything else...well I will let you know when I have found a solution.

storm jonas

i have talked about my wonderful friends before, but they really are great. we are all at different places in our lives but still make it all work. one of our dear friends moved to virginia for school with her husband so we decided to make a trip to visit her. new york was our place of choice and the travel plans fell into place.

christmas 2015

christmas this year sure was fun. christmas eve we made gingerbread houses with my family, went to a family christmas party with david's side, and back to my parents. the christmas party with david's family is always so fun. there is a talent show, the nativity is acted out, and there is a white elephant. always a fun time with david's family. 

christmas day we woke up, opened presents and headed over to david's parents to hang out with them. we got to skype his brother who is on a mission in virginia. it was so fun to see him.
