Just for kicks and giggles.

My new life motto is, "As long as no one sees it, it never happened." Want to know why? Well, I moved in Friday to my lovely new apartment. I happened to have a three-shelved plastic container where I keep my "underclothes" (to put it nicely). I was joking with my aunt how I would just die if I dropped the container and all my underwear and bras fell out as I was carrying it from my car to my apartment. Next thing I know, the top of the container pops off and the shelves go crashing to the ground and all my underwear and bras were scattered on the middle courtyard thingy. LOVELY. Here's where my new motto comes into play, thankfully no one saw my accident. At least the next time someone asks me when my most embarrassing moment was i'll finally have a funny story to tell. On to my next example.. Ever since I got to Utah I have been trying to make sure to eat some-what healthy so I can stay fit. I have been doing SO well. Today I had half of a king size Milky Way in my lunchbox. I knew I shouldn't eat it. I wanted it so bad, so I ate the darn thing. About 10 minutes later I realize I had spilled a bit of chocolate on my black pants which by this point had smeared in about three different spots. WONDERFUL. Once again, no one saw before I had cleaned myself up. I tell you, I am just graceful lately, right? Oh I hope you felt the ooze of sarcasm in that last sentence, if not, I apologize. Sarcasm has never been my strong point. Other than that, I am loving life. Being away from home means terrible toilet paper, simple meals, and lots of responsibility but I have never been happier.

A Letter to Asher Rae.

Baby Asher, Your momma is currently in labor and in a few hours you'll make your grand debut into this world. From the moment I knew you were coming I was in shock and how much my heart could grow. I work with sweet children all day and I love them so much. The love I already have for you is so different. You'll be the first grandchild of my parents, and you'll be my first ever niece. You're coming into a world that is incredibly hard and difficult. With your amazing parents in your life you'll be taught how to be strong and to be valiant in all circumstances. Your dad, my brother, is an excellent human being. He is dedicated, he is a dreamer, he is a hard worker, and he will be the most amazing father. Your mom is so beautiful. She is loving, she is patient, and she loves your dad so much. Your grandma, my mom, is SO excited for you. She will love you and spoil you, but she will also help you when things get hard. Your Grandma Forsyth is a tough woman. The toughes...

Knowing thy IMPACT

One day I'll get around to sharing the story about how I applied for and got my new job. I have to say that it most certainly is 100% credited to my Heavenly Father and his plan for my life. Often we don't see the things we need in life until things are put into our path that lead us in a different direction. For the purpose of this post I wanted to share some thoughts being on the outside of the beginning of a new school year. This is mostly for my teacher friends and those who start teaching this year so if you get bored, please do yourself a favor and stop reading. Being a teacher is a tough gig. Daily we make thousands of split-second decisions and impact people in ways we will never fully know the extent of. John Hattie once said, "know thy impact." Each day you'll strive to be better than the day before. You'll hope and pray that your babies (students) will learn something more than just "things." We'll hope and pray that they learn how t...

Good Ole Sundays

So usually my Sundays consist of the same things: church, lunch, nap, dinner, and homework. Today was not the same, and it has made me crazy. So to start off my lovely Sunday, we only had church for a hour. Some of you may know why, but for others here is the explaination. While our beautiful building is being built, we go to church in 3 metal buildings. Only one of these has decent insulation. Since Florida has decided to become Antartica, it was quite cold, causing us to only have one hour of church and not three. Lunch was wonderful, and was quite normal considering the rest of my day. After lunch I walk back into the kitchen and find my mother humming a lady gaga song. I never understood her amazingness fully until today. So then comes naptime. Oh how I LOVE naptime on Sundays. So I go lay down and start watching tv, and I couldn't sleep. GREAT. Then finally after about 2 hours I fall asleep, and wake up ten minutes later. Just dandy. I was not a happy person to say the least. ...
