Took a Little Road Trip

What a fun way to end summer! this is the coolest thing i have ever seen in my life called Spiral Jetty by the Great Salt Lake. :) Me and my boyfriend got to see it for the first time last Sunday and it was fun being able to take a little road trip out to see it. :) 

Jaw Surgery Update

It's crazy to think this will all end and i will be able to finally put this hell behind me and move on in my life without worrying about my jaw anymore and with that i finally have my Jaw surgery scheduled. Its crazy to think i made it through this journey and it will all change for the better and i will be under going surgery on October 10th 2017 :)

I am going to make a Jaw surgery recovery blog for my friends and family to read as i recover. I have a lot to look forward to and this happens 2 days after my 25th birthday and my last day of work is October 9th for the 2 weeks. I can't wait to see the results. :) I'm excited and nervous. While Everyone is excited for Halloween i don't even care about Halloween at this point i'm more focused on my surgery and getting prepared for my surgery and i got my 2 Pre surgery appointments scheduled so this is it no turning back. We are ready for this. :)

My Etsy Store: Frozen Blankets

I know Disney Frozen came out like 4 years ago so i decided to knock down the prices on the 3 frozen blankets i have. They are sold separately as the listings are separate. They are all made and ready to be shipped. The blankets are soft, warm and cuddly. Perfect for the one that still loves frozen and they are perfect for gifts or just to have.

Living The Migraine Life

I have lived a migraine lifestyle ever since i was 13 years old. I shouldn't be looking up funny migraine memes at all but i couldn't help it either. I had a Chronic migraine for the last few days and i clearly can't function with life right now. I'm beginning to think having a migraine every day is the new every day normal for me now. 

Motivation Quote

The best part about my job the team meetings we have in the mornings before we open the store and yesterday we had a team meeting and this was the discussion we had. Funny how i came across this last night on Pinterest and just thought to myself wow what a consequence we talked about this topic in our meeting yesterday morning. Sometimes we have some really good team meetings just before we open the store. 

Goals

I have known ever since 9th grade where i wanted to be after High School and to be able to finally save up to build my dream home or buy a home is what i'm working on and i have all these other goals to accomplish as for my Jealous best friend sadly doesn't have an idea about where she wants to be in her life. Its nice that she's supportive but i've learned the lesson never tell someone my goals ever again cause this just caused Jealousy and you know what? I don't care my friends have no say where i end up in my life. If there's a better job opportunity out of Utah clearly that is up to me and my future husband to make the choice. I've also read if someone can't be happy for their friend it means they are not happy with their life. If she needs help making choices of where to be in 5 or 10 years she's got problems cause that's her own choice to make of where she wants to be in 5 or 10 years. She has been on my case about accomplishing my goals so fast and way to soon  you are bound to mess up while accomplishing the goal. It may not make sense to her at all but i know what i'm clearly doing. Its called a work in progress but she just won't leave me alone about it. She doesn't know that everyone works at something at a different time in life. She will forever be Jealous of me and i don't care. I'm not breaking up with my boyfriend just to be lonely with her that would show that she's control of my life when really i am the one in control of myself. Just because my brother and my mom stopped working on their dream careers doesn't mean they will stop me. That's their life i can't tell them to get a better career if they have no passion to go back into schooling for it. That's their destiny not mine. She clearly has ZERO goals in her life so if she's so worried about my life than she isn't happy with her life. I'm sorry not sorry for anything its my life i will live it the way i want to. Cry me a river if you can't handle it. Cause i don't have time for Jealousy people in my book. if i work on a goal to fast i'd be bound to mess up more and i'd be less satisfied with the results and certainly if i get forced to do it on someone else's time than that means i'm making them happy and i'd only make myself miserable cause it wouldn't feel exciting as if i were to do it on my own then it will be more enjoyable. Its just annoying that she doesn't understand my point of view but whatever she chose not to understand it so i'm not going to waste my energy on it again.

Las Vegas 2017

The weekend before last weekend i finally got to go back and visit my hometown Las Vegas for the first time since 2010. I was able to take my boyfriend with me and apart of his early birthday present i got him 2 tickets to a concert in Las Vegas for August 4th 2017 and normally it wouldn't be a concert i'd go for but i went anyways it wasn't so bad seeing Slayer and Lamb of God and Behemoth. Not something i listen to but it was fun being there with him. While we were there we met a couple from Canada haha that was the most interesting part and the Canadian girl even hit on me she was so drunk LOL it was so awkward while she hit on me. Haha i forgot that i'm attractive looking to girls in Las Vegas haha speaking of a experience from 7th grade. It was so much fun we had the whole weekend there after the concert it was so fun getting to explore Las Vegas on Saturday and Sunday. I even showed my boyfriend where we used to live in Las Vegas and we also walked around the strip and explored and i showed him the Adventuredome since he had no idea what that was. He was so surprised that you can see the planes take off more easily and i forgot that its easier to watch the planes take off here in Salt Lake city they don't have that but in Las Vegas its like your more up close to seeing the air planes take off. We even left Las Vegas to go see Lake Mead Reservoir and we got to see Hover Dam in person and the best part was we both never seen Hover Dam in person so that was fun to see it for the first time together.  I'm so happy we got to go Las Vegas i was so happy to be there. I wasn't ready to come home at all but it had to end at some point. 6 hours is a long drive but so worth it at the same time. I wrote about our trip on Facebook and joked about staying in Las Vegas forever and how i feel so much more happier there than i do here in Utah. If people know me they know i joke around a lot and like to be sarcastic a lot well a lot of people knew i was being funny and joking. My Best friend Shaliece couldn't take it as a joke instead she got all butt hurt and mad at me for it so now she's so mad at me and she seriously asked me if i was moving back to Las Vegas and leaving Utah like that. I was so tempted to tell her Yes i am staying in Las Vegas forever i'm just going to leave everything behind and start over and leave Utah like that. Now i wish i would of said that hahaha but she was already so mad i didn't want to make it worse but it would of been so funny to tell her that but she hates it when i'm sarcastic so i didn't want to piss her off more over a simple joke. My boyfriend even asked me if i'd like to move back to Las Vegas and my response was yes i would but at the same time its all mixed emotions about it. Something about Utah doesn't even compare to Las Vegas i get sick and tired of Utah after awhile. Las Vegas will always be my happy place. :)  I'm so glad we got to get away from Utah for a little while. :) I can't wait to go back to Las Vegas again soon.

1 Year Ago

I consider him as a V.I.P getting to look down at me from heaven and see how life is going for me. My best friend Tyler is lucky 😊 oh how awesome it's going to be to reunite with him again someday.😊

Its crazy to think my best friend passed away one year ago and i can honestly say it only gets easier every day. The withdrawals have been so real not being able to call him on the phone and hear his voice and have random conversations with him and hanging out with him. I can only hope he knows he's loved and missed so much. It will be so good to hear his voice and laugh again someday and it will be like we never stopped talking when we reunite. I wish he could be here right now just to talk and hear his voice and laugh again. I could go for a random conversation with him right now. But that will just have to wait. :)

Jaw Surgery Update

Its been forever since i said anything about my jaw surgery and i can say i finally was able to successfully switch to a new insurance company just for this mess and so i let my oral surgeon's office know right before July 4th 2017 that i got my new insurance plan and they were going to start the process to see if they would accept or deny to pay for my surgery and it would take 2 weeks for them to accept it or deny it. I gave it about 2 weeks and by the end of last month i finally caved in and called to see what was going on i got the most exciting news ever my insurance company accepted to pay for my Surgery and so i was going to be able to have a date for surgery but i have to do it in person with my oral surgeon so i had it scheduled for last week and got all excited about it and i get a call from his office and the lady told me that my oral surgeon has been trying to get a hold of my orthodontist and can't get a hold of him and she told me it wouldn't be worth it to come in until my oral surgeon talks to my orthodontist so we won't be able to schedule your surgery until he talks to your orthodontist. That killed my excitement i hung up after i talked to her and instantly cried trying to figure out reasons why when my orthodontist has told me for a few months now when ever you schedule your date for surgery with your oral surgeon please let me know. I was in tears i am so sick of this waiting game i just want it fixed already and get this over with and i felt like okay i'll just give up now. I've been waiting for this forever when really its been almost 4 years. The lady also told me on the phone my oral surgeon will continue to try to get a hold of my orthodontist. I can give up but i know that this is what needs to be done. I am so close to having a date for surgery. Its becoming more and more of a reality now. I'm ready for this. :) just gotta stay strong and keep my head up in this and keep positive. :)

What A Surprise

I got a nice lovely surprise and i know my blankets don't sell during the summer. But this made me so happy to see that this blanket is now sold. I can't wait to ship it and i hope the customer enjoys it. I wish i could sell more of the blankets i have but its summer right now so no one wants a blanket I will be back towards the end of the year with my Etsy store and selling blankets. :)

Bucket List: Seeing the Real UP House in Person

I have always wanted to see the real Disney UP house in Person ever since it was built in 2011 and on Fourth of July we found out the location of the house and drove up to see this house in person. Its pretty cool we have the UP house here in Herriman Utah. But of course a family lives in it so no tours are allowed. Now that is something i can finally cross off my Bucket List and its an actual tourist attraction too and its also private property but still you can still take a picture of the house. 

It's a Girls Weekend

A few weeks ago me and my Best friend Shaliece had a girls weekend and we finally got to decorate our best friend, Tyler's grave and even though i'm so used to seeing my boyfriend every weekend it was super hard for me to go a full 4 days without seeing him since no guys were allowed in this girls weekend. I don't go planning the girls night or girls weekend cause i'm not that girly girl enough to even say hey lets have a girls night or have a girls weekend. That's all up to my friends to plan a girls night or girls weekend. Anyways its been a good 11 months with out my Best friend Tyler hard to believe next month marks his 1 year anniversary of his death. I know he was smiling in heaven and we even got blue flowers just for him and my best friend Shaliece came with us to the Air Force Museum and it was fun spending some time with her even if i had to handle not seeing my boyfriend all in all it was a good fun filled weekend. :)

Reunited With my BFF

It feels so good to reunite with my BFF Jennifer after months of not seeing or talking to each other. I finally got to spend a day with her a couple of weeks ago and it was so much fun. We don't get to hang out a lot because her depression ruins the fun for her so its hard for her to enjoy having fun in life. I'm more happier now cause i noticed not hanging out with her or talking to her for months my mood had drastically changed and i noticed i wasn't as happy while i wasn't talking to her or hanging out with her. So we have made it a goal to hang out more often as we can before she starts her teaching job again next month. :) I know we have our ups and downs but dang i couldn't imagine a life without her. :)

My Summer Adventure: Hill Aerospace Museum

We have made it a goal this year to visit the Air Force Museum in Roy Utah and the BEST part its FREE! This was apart of my childhood and it was fun coming back for the first time since i was a kid. We look forward to going to the awesome Air Force show next Summer. :)

Denver Colorado Trip 2017

During Memorial weekend 2017 my boyfriend wanted us to get away for a little bit. It was so much fun seeing what Denver Colorado looked like in person. I LOVED every minute of it and it sucks we can't get away a lot more but we both had a 3 day weekend so we were able to go for it and i'm glad we took the chance to go. We did a lot of sight seeing i wish i got more pictures while we were there but for sure next time we go back to Denver i will take more pictures. :)

We went and over looked the city at night and it was a pretty view 

This was a pretty view from far distance

Jaw Surgery Update

I'm one happy girl right now i'm about to get a date for my surgery now that we have finally got the insurance involved. I've got this very good feeling that my Jaw surgery will be paid for so that makes me one happy girl :) I gotta let my oral surgeon know that we finally involved a new insurance company that's why i couldn't get a date right away for surgery cause we wanted to involve insurance first. Its been a very long process and i feel like its time to give up but nope i gotta keep being strong and positive. I was explaining to my co worker about my jaw surgery and all i could say was i wouldn't want this for anyone or even my worst enemy. I have a cousin who just got braces because they want to avoid this mess and only hope to fix it so she doesn't have to go through this when she's older and i feel for her maybe i wish that my mom had got me into the orthodontist when i was 9 instead of 11 or 12 cause that's when i started complaining about my mouth bothering me and my cousin is just 9 years old so her mom is hoping that they can fix this while she is still young so they don't have to deal with surgery when she's older. But its better late then never for me to fix my problem. Sadly this is becoming a more common thing happening to people and i'm not alone. How i did it? I had to remain so strong when your only choice left is to be strong i was being strong and remained so strong through it all and sure it wasn't easy i wanted to give up but i haven't and won't give up. I have days where i feel like i can cry it all out and just want this hell to be over with and honestly yes i have cried and been frustrated cause it felt like it was going to be forever before surgery gets here. Now i can finally breathe and it feels like weight and stress have been lifted off my shoulders knowing that i can get my surgery scheduled and i'll be able to finish this last part of the process to Jaw surgery and i will be able to get my 2 pre surgery appointments scheduled with my oral surgeon and orthodontist and i will get to have my oral surgeon write a letter to my work to explain why i will be out for 2 full weeks and if needed i can happily sit down and talk to my supervisor and my boss to figure out a date i can come back after my 2 weeks. We are ready for this and i know my orthodontist is patiently waiting wondering when we will have the date for surgery and i'm glad that he is patient with this cause its just as much for me being patient with it than it is for him. I can't wait to get this surgery date. I'm so ready for it. If i didn't have surgery i would of still had my braces on for the 24 months and just like that on May 20th 2017 marked 24 months since i got my braces on but after i get surgery done my braces will stay on for 8 months. Just to know that this is officially finally happening and ending so i can put this behind me makes it a lot easier on me. I'm excited to see how the results turn out. :)

Provo Lake

Last Sunday it was one beautiful day outside. Got to spend the day with my boyfriend after a long week of work. We went out to eat with his family and spent the day with his brother up here at Provo Lake. What a perfect day :) it was an amazing day and i was in heaven with the warm weather. If its another beautiful day this weekend. Me and my boyfriend are going to go on another adventure. Not everyday you get to walk on a rail road track with out the train coming and lucky for us no train came through while we were walking on a very old rail road. I can't wait to go on more adventures this summer :) 

Goal Accomplished

I've told myself ever since the beginning of 2017 started that i would have my braces paid off by the time May starts. Today i found out while i was at my orthodontist appointment this morning that I'm DONE paying off my braces. I couldn't believe it i said Wait What I'm done?? and the lady at the front desk said yes your done paying them off your last payment paid the rest of it so the braces are all yours now. I'am so excited to be done paying off my braces. I really stuck with the whole " I'll have my braces paid off by the time May starts" and what do i know its done with and that means I'm onto BIGGER better things i can SAVE UP for. I'm excited to start saving up to buy my future home someday and I'm going to start saving up for a much needed vacation and some other amazing things i'll be able to save up for too. I'm a smart headed girl when it comes to financial stuff. I'm feeling accomplished 😃 and now that i don't feel so trapped and worried constantly about oh no am i going to have enough money for my braces. I'm excited to put my money towards something else now. 😊 I'll be updating about my Jaw Surgery soon. :)  

First Adventure of 2017

I had the chance to have a little get away over the weekend with my boyfriend and this makes it the first vacation together it was fun to go to Wendover and have some fun. I might as well be in two states at once 😜 it was fun so much fun we tried a new buffet and it was horrible. My boyfriend got so sick and passed out and kept throwing up so being the caring and loving girlfriend i am i stayed calm and took good care of my boyfriend and made sure he was okay. :) It was an unforgettable adventure i'm so happy to get away for awhile. I hope we can get away again sometime soon :) 

Utah is Beautiful

Utah is one beautiful place and even though everything is mostly closed on Sundays here in Utah it gets so boring. I'm glad the Canyons stay open no matter what day it is. Love having a fun drive through the Canyon and i love how the sun just hits the mountain just right. ❤ it was nice to go for a drive with my boyfriend and best friend through the canyon on Sunday. This makes me so happy ☺

Think Happy Thoughts

Some amazing things happened already besides the fact that i had Bronchitis at the end of January into the beginning week of February and bronchitis wiped me out and i was able to get over that and get back to being myself again and enjoy life again. I colored my hair for the first time in 2 years and  I made it through my official first week of work at Deseret Industries ( Thrift Store) for some of those who don't know what Deseret Industries is. I look forward to more good amazing things happening this year. :) 

What a Year

I  know 2016 has ended and i'm a little late on this. 2016 had many ups and downs and what a year it has been. I got to try coffee for the first time and i ate fish for the first time since i was a kid. I also got to ride cannibal for the first time at Lagoon last summer. I had many fun adventures with my boyfriend and we just celebrated our 1 year anniversary last month. i conquered my fear of heights last year. My best friend Tyler passed away and i could say its been the hardest 4 months and last but not least. December 31st 2016 marked 3 years since my jaw problem stared. I've been nothing but strong and positive through it all. Finally a new fresh start on 365 days. Here goes to 2017 :)
