Ha I wish this was the beginning to some diet blog but I still have not found that motivation. I pin and I pin and I just get hungary. Soon I will put into action all of the things on pinterest that I have pinned regarding "health and fitness.
This was a big step however...
Day
One
Without
Facebook
has been tough, I don't know how many times I have picked up my laptop to type in FA and then I remember...IT DOESN'T EXIST anymore. I have also picked up my phone MANY TIMES waiting for some ridiculous comment to an equally ridiculous status update Kendall has posted. I will survive, I do not need to know what everybody in my world is up to. I will miss stalking people YES, I did that.

Better Life...
Friday night and the moon is high,
I'm wide awake just watchin' you sleep
And I promise you you're gonna have,
More than just the things that you need
We ain't got much now, we're just starting out
But I know somehow paradise is coming.
Chorus :
Someday baby,
You and I are gonna be the ones, good luck's gonna shine
Someday baby,
You and I are gonna be the ones, so hold on, we're headed for a better life.
Oh now theres a place for you and me,
Where we can dream as big as the sky.
I know its hard to see it now,
But baby someday we're gonna fly,
This road we're on, you know it might be long,
But my faith is strong, its all that really matters.
Someday baby,
You and I are gonna be the ones, good luck's gonna shine
Someday baby,
You and I are gonna be the ones, so hold on, we're headed for a better life.
So hold on, hold on, c'mon baby, hold on,
Yeah we're gonna have it all, and ooh
Someday baby,
You and I are gonna be the ones, good luck's gonna shine
Someday baby,
You and I are gonna be the ones, so hold on, we're headed for a better life.
Someday baby,
You and I are gonna be the ones, good luck's gonna shine
Someday baby,
You and I are gonna be the ones, so hold on, we're headed for a better life.
A better life now, oh ho, a better life
Hey we're gonna leave this all behind us baby, wait and see.
We're headed for a better life, you and me.
We're gonna break the chains that bind and, finally we'll be free.
We're gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me.
Just hold on tight now baby, woooh
I am dubbing this Kendall and Jenni's song...
Grad school... no jobs... life... is all tough. All of the struggles we are having now will soon be in the past and we will be living a "better life."
I hope we never forget these rough times in our lives, it is teaching us so much.
P.S. I love Keith Urban:)

Changing Majors?
Ha, just kidding, I am about to graduate.......
Kendall has been learning about women's health and reproductive system. He has learned what day I should be ovulating and I think this is cool for a few reasons.
1) He is learning a ton by real life situations. (his major is far more interesting than mine)
2) It is nice to know if we wanted kids soon what to look for.
This brings me to my next point....
We just celebrated our 6 year anniversary.... (favorite day of the year)
Most "mormon" couples would have had 3 kids by now. We get asked "when are you having kids?" all of the time. I love kids don't get me wrong. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my Kendall love the kids in NURSERY or our nieces and nephews. 2 things in this world terrifies me: having and raising a good person and cancer. For obvious reasons I am scared of cancer. Why does having and raising kids terrifies me? I think the having kids part is self explanatory, I mean Alli, Marti, Una and Adrienne have told me horrific child birth stories... taring.. needles...punching...blood. Not to mention all of the worry, if you are keeping baby healthy inside you. Also what about the terrifying point that so many couples face, infertility (write another post of this terrifying concept later)? What if I cannot even have kids? All of that terrifying. Then when you have the beautiful little Angel in your arms and you are instantly in love with this wrinkly little recipe of you and your love, everything will be perfect. Then you have to go somewhere....terrifying to get in the car, what if you get into an accident with this Angel that was sent to you to protect. What if you don't get that "motherly instinct"? What if you accidentally forget to strap Angel into the seat because you are distracted? What if you make the smallest stupidest mistake and something happens to the Angel? Are you able to give Angel all that they need? You are suppose to be the protector? Then Angel grows and crawls and brings great joy. Then Angel is 2 and so naughty and you have to do even more to protect them? What do you give them of the things they want so they don't become spoiled little brats? Then Angel is 4 and talks back, you try to have patience, then you realize Angel is never not going to be little again and talking back is going to be a normal occurrence. Angel is now 13 and you don't know anything about life, especially when you try to tell Angel about it. Angel gets their own car and you worry while they are away with friends. You try to be the cool mom, but Angel still doesn't listen. Angel is now 18 and if they are not like you and more like your love they will be on to life such as military, mission or college. How do you know you did a good enough job raising Angel, and that they know how to live the life they refused to listen to you about. Terrifying.
Perhaps when Kendall is done with all of his school and has a good job I will evaluate this terrifying list and consider a Kendall Junior. In the mean time I will love my calling loving other people's children. :)

2013? What just happened here?
I don't know why I don't write more often. Other people may not want to read what I have written but I love reading old posts and journal entries. Probably 6 months ago I was reading one of my old journals and it was mostly about things I wish I would do or what I have done with my friend Martilyn. I got so choked up reading about our adventures and dreams I called her in tears. I just love you Marti.
A lot has happened since I last wrote in this here blog.
Thanksgiving... A great friend invited us to her families Thanksgiving in Santa Fe. Let me tell you, they made us feel so welcomed and AMAZING food. Thanks Adrienne for the invite.
End of semester.... What is there to say...WHEW! glad that one is over with and I passed (barely).
Traveling to UTAH... ROADTRIP to my FAVORITE place!!! LOVE
CHRISTMAS... Holy cow, I love being at my parents house for the Holidays. I love the fluffy white snow, the warm TV room, fighting with my little buddy (and big brothers). I love watching Kendall work so hard to help around and learn new things (welding). MAKING CANDY, was so fun this year we made cherry, orange, coconut, carmel, pretzels, pinoche (or something of the sort) and nut clusters. If it wasn't so unpredictable of how it would turn out, and so frustrating when it doesn't, we would start a business. Our CANDY is so good. "what did you get for christmas?" "Fat, I got fat for christmas!." :) That quote made me laugh cause it is true. Kendall really did surprise me with a HUMONGOUS gun, 30.06. Seriously I love it! He had a little present for me to open and it was bullets. At first I was like what am I going to do with these? Then I read what size they were and I was like we don't have a gun for these... Then me brought it out to me. It is AWESOME!!! He bought it used so he refinished the stock (I got to chose the color) and it turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! Christmas was awesome! My mom always make Christmas special for me, she always goes overboard with gifts, I would be happy just to be with my family. I loved my little buddy's reaction to the gift we got him. He is constantly arresting us, so a bought him an outfit so he would at least look like he should be arresting people (lol, it came with a whistle and noisy walkie talkie) I loved spending time with the newest addition to the family, LIBBY, She is just perfect. I love watching Alli with her, she is the second best mom in the whole world, because mine is the first.
New Years... Almost "pulled an all nighter" with my little buddy. I think he crashed about 1:30 ha ha. We had little plastic goblets to drink sparkling cider out of. They were plastic so we had to make the clinck sound when we made a toast. Brax didn't like the cider but he would have the tiniest amount every time we toasted so he would be part of the group. HILARIOUS!!! Then I don't know what we did for the next hour and a half but I couldn't get Brax to sleep, I guess we were having too much fun. The next day we went sledding!!! The Brenchleys created a ramp on the hill and we set Brax up to go down by himself (he wanted to) to the right of the ramp so he wouldn't hit it. We gave him a good push. He heads straight for the ramp. Hits it. Goes flying. Lands face down. Lays there a minute. Bad Auntie is LAUGHING with tears at the top. He says "I'm fine." He gets up and we try again only this time to the left of the ramp. Same thing happened. I didn't laugh so hard the second time, I felt bad. We learned it was best to use the tube for this hill. We had so much fun. By the end he wanted to go down but not climb the hill back up. I had to hold his hand to get him up. "too tired" Ha! I also got to SHOOT my new gun. We went and saw the elk at hardware. We had a great day.
