Weekend Full of Surprises.

Well, it's me again.
What a weekend I had.
Let's start with Thursday.

Thursday I was invited to go to dinner up in Park City by a dear family I know from back home. They are the sweetest people. We ate at Chimayo and it was super Yummy. Here is a picture of me with Faith and Andrew.

Friday was pretty normal. I babysat Lexi in the morning and then got my hair done after. I did the blonde ombre. I was shocked at first but now I love it. 



Saturday is where things get good. Here was my plan for the day. Wake up, go to the testing center and take my math test, go babysit the Wakley girls, come home, do homework. Pretty basic, right? Life had a different plan. This might be too much info, but once a month I get awful cramps (please put two and two together on this one). It just so happened that Saturday morning mother nature decided to visit and give me the worst cramps I have EVER had. They were to the point where I felt like I was going to faint because of all the pain. I decided to try and hike up to campus anyways. I made it about a block and had to sit on the pavement to keep myself from fainting. After much thought (sitting on the pavement) I decided there was no way I could physically make it up to campus. I turned around and barely made it in my apartment before falling on the floor. Exciting, huh? I was hurting so bad I took a bath in the tub (NEVER have I EVER done that because it is so nasty, that's how desperate I was). So while in the bathtub I text my neighbor, Rachel. I told her to find me some boys who could give me a blessing. After I got dressed I had them come over and they gave me the most wonderful priesthood blessing. I instantly felt calmer and could feel my pain slowly going away. I said a prayer of thanks to Heavenly Father for allowing me to feel better. I was so grateful for those boys who early on a Saturday were kind enough to come to my aid. So next on my list was babysitting. I drive all the way there in my sweat pants, hair up, and flip flops expecting to dye easter eggs with the girls. I get there, open the door and hear, "SURPRISE!" My amazing aunts and cousins had thrown me a surprise birthday party. I felt so loved, and so grateful that I was feeling better! We had yummy food and I got to spend quality time with the girls in my family. How lucky/grateful/thankful/loved am I! 


Sunday was Easter. I went to church and then to my grandmas that evening for dinner with everyone. I love Easter. It's my favorite holiday. It's the one day where a more-than-average-amount of people celebrate Jesus Christ. What an amazing day. I am so grateful that He is Risen and that I live today because of him and  his atonement.



I missed being home. Here is a picture of my parents after church Sunday.
Overall I had a good weekend. I am so lucky and I am so blessed.

102 Days.

Well Folks, it's been exactly 102 days since my car left home and headed out west. Each day that I'm away from home I discover more about myself, my relationships, and my Heavenly Father. It's hard to place a time or a date to your life changing especially when it happens over a period of time and through many hard lessons. Now more than ever I realize the importance of relying on my Heavenly Father in all times, in all things, and in all places. I have such a testimony of the love my Savior gives me. He is my constant companion and he is my everything. At times things can get dark and things can get lonely. During these moments of trial we too often forget our divine worth. We were all sent here with a unique and special plan. We were destined for greatness and we were destined to allow ourselves to achieve that divine potential. I have learned to never give up on my Savior, because when I don't give up on him I don't give up on myself. These past 102 days have...

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...
