Thursday nights we go to Kevin's house to watch Psych, but before we went over Cameron thought we could go hike up to this small waterfall in Pleasant Grove. So we did that and had a lot of fun. As we stood on top of the waterfall, we stared into each other's eyes and it seemed like the big final moment was about to happen. But of course, I RUIN IT by glancing to the side. Then Cameron looked away and the moment was over. UGH STUPID ME. WHY COULDN'T I HAVE WAITED 3 SECONDS LONGER. Oh well. Anyways, now onto Friday night, April 5, 2013.<br />
<br />
That evening Cameron and I went to his mission reunion in SLC at his mission president's house. It was nice meeting the different missionaries he worked with and boy was his president's house BIG. It was crazy how gigantic it was. But he and his wife sure are nice people. Anyways, enough of that. As we were driving home, Cameron asked if I wanted to go walk around Discovery Park. Of course I said yes. So we walked around for about 20 or so minutes, talking about different things when suddenly I noticed we had walked out into the middle of the baseball field. Then Cameron randomly asked if I wanted to dance. He turned on Frank Sinatra on his phone and together we danced. Oh my goodness, my heart was going crazy! It was just like a movie, dancing underneath the stars to romantic music. Gradually we moved closer to each other to the point that our forehead were touching. I knew that this had to be the moment and I didn't want to ruin it. After about 30ish minutes of dancing, maybe longer I'm not sure, I looked up into his spectacular eyes, he looked down at me, and we kissed. IT WAS SO ROMANTIC. It was after we kissed that I told him that he was my very first kiss. Ever. This surprised him and he told me that I did a good job. Plus, he said that I was the first first kiss he had that wasn't awkward. That made me feel good, because I was worried about that. So basically I was on cloud nine the rest of the night. We had finally kissed and it was the most magical moment of my life. I'm so very glad that we waited 2 months, yes I know that's a while, before we had our first kiss. I felt that it was more meaningful. It wasn't a "Hey you're hot let's kiss" but it was a "I actually know you and like you for who you are." It was the best moment of my life.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655184241169442307.post-51388250794946144822013-07-19T14:23:00.000-06:002013-07-19T14:23:27.370-06:00Bridal Veil Falls & April Fool's Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One day Cameron and I went up to Bridal Veil and hiked up the waterfall. It was a lot of fun climbing up the steep, rocky, slippery terrain. Plus it gave me an opportunity to show him that I was an outdoorsy person and not some kind of girl who worried about getting dirty. When we reached the top we just stood there, holding hands as we looked out at the pretty scenery. Although this would've been a perfect spot for a first kiss, it didn't happen. That's okay, because when it did it was much more romantic. SPOILERS</div>

So for April Fool's Day I decided to prank my family that Cameron and I were getting married. I had this old fake engagement ring I had since I was about 11 or so. I came up with a story that didn't seem to dramatic and told everyone at sunday dinner so technically it wasn't April 1 yet. Anyways, I was able to make myself cry which then lead everyone to believe me. People were crying and congratulating me. It was so funny! But eventually I felt bad because Britt was about to call her mom and everyone seemed so happy, so I yelled APRIL FOOL'S DAY. They couldn't believe that it was fake, but they were also relieved that I wasn't engaged since Cameron and I had only been together for a little over a month. Plus we hadn't even had our first kiss yet! </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
On March 10, 2013 Cameron and I went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point for a date. It was fun to look at all the dinosaurs and stuff, BUT my dream finally came true. What is this dream you ask? Well, as we walked through the museum, Cameron and I held hands the ENTIRE time. So yes, holding hands with someone while walking has been one of my dreams. AND IT HAPPENED. I was so happy the entire time. I was finally starting to get more comfortable with Cameron and I could be myself without feeling judged. Plus, our relationship was definitely growing even though I was still being slow. We hadn't even kissed at this point in time, BUT that's because Cameron was being the nicest gentleman ever. Anyways, I'll explain why in my post about our first kiss. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
When we finished the museum we went to Savory & Sweet for dinner. What delicious crepes they had!</div>

After the basketball game, which I mentioned in my last post, Cameron invited me to his ward activity that was happening on that saturday. We did ice cream sculpting and boy was it a lot of fun! We had to provide our own ice cream, but they had different candies and stuff to use for decoration. If you can't tell from the picture, we made a castle. We used a granola bar as the drawbridge, sprinkles for the water and alligators, and some candy sticks as the flags. I got to meet some people from his ward, who were very nice, and it was just fun to build an ice cream sculpture with Cameron. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Afterwards, we went to his Grandpa Pugh's house where he was an awesome theater room and watched Better Off Dead. Wow, what a hilarious movie! My mouth was killing me by the end because I could not stop laughing. Also, during the movie Cameron sat really close to me and we held hands the whole entire time. It was a wonderful evening. :)</div>

Oh one more thing. I don't have any pictures from it, but I finally built up the courage and asked Cameron to go to Hang Time with the family. So he met all of the family except for Dad, Ammon, and Josh Hatch. I was really glad to hear that the fam liked him and that he liked the fam. That was a good sign. But we had a lot of fun jumping on the tramps, except that I found out that Cameron had sprained his ankle that morning at church ball. So I was making him jump on his injured ankle! I felt so bad. I'm pretty sure I made it worse. oops. It was nice spending time with him though. I loved it. :)</div>

On February 27, 2013 Cameron invited me to go the Jazz game, which was my very first basketball game I had ever attended. It was a lot of fun! I didn't realize that bball games were actually entertaining. There were people doing stuff and it was just a fun environment. But maybe it's because I was with a certain person. ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, I had an awesome time. It was nice to get to know Cameron more, to laugh, and to enjoy his company. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh also before this date happened, Cameron had invited me to his friend's bday party at Tucanos. There I met the majority of his main group of friends. It was nice getting to know them and figuring out some things about Cameron from them. That's also where I found out that I am Amy 2.0. Long story short, the girl Cameron was dating before me was also named Amy. Funny right? And I found out that Cameron was actually a bit hesitant to ask me out since my name is Amy. I don't blame him. It would be weird to date someone with the same name of the person you just broke up with. BUT I am so so so so so so SO very glad that he got past the name thing and kept dating me. That decision definitely made my life so much better. :)</div>

Apparently he thought I was hinting that I wanted to do something that day, but honestly I was just trying to figure out if he had a girl or someone he liked.<br />
Cameron picked me up from my house, where he met my mom again and Chelsey, and we made our way towards Pleasant Grove High to see the play Beauty & the Beast. In the car, he gave me a big Dove Chocolate Bar and a Lindt Hazelnut bar. How did he know they were my favorite?? Now before we went to the school, he asked me if I wanted to see where he lived. So we stopped by his house and I met his mom (Melanie) and his three younger sisters (Catherine, Camilla, & Cadee). It was super cute because the moment we walked in Cadee came running towards the door screaming Cameron's name and then jumped into his arms. Then she jumped down, looked up at me, and said "We got bunnies!" Grabbing my hand, she lead me through the house to see their new bunnies. It was very nice to meet part of his family. They seemed very very nice. After that, we headed to the school and sat in our seats. Now here's the really exciting part of the story.<br />
During the first half of the play, I noticed that his hand was slowly getting closer to mine. Now not being very experienced with guys and the fact that I've never held a guy's hand before, you can probably imagine how I was feeling. My heart was beating like a mad person, I'm pretty sure was starting to sweat, and my mind was racing. Should I grab his hand or should I wait for him to take mine? Do I move my hand closer or stay still? Ugh, if only Britt was there so I could ask for her advice! So the entire first act Cameron's hand kept moving closer, but he never did hold my hand. Intermission happened, I tried calming myself/telling myself to be brave in the bathroom, and then returned back to our seats. The second half started and once again Cameron's hand was close to mine, occasionally bumping against mine. I decided to be brave and I looked down at his hand, then at his face. He looked at me and then said, "Is it alright?" I nodded and he then took a hold of my hand. WHOA BABY. HE WAS HOLDING MY HAND. ON OUR SECOND DATE. Pretty much there were fireworks happening inside of me. I couldn't believe that he was holding my hand. It was so sweet because sometimes he would stroke the side of my hand with his thumb and it was just so wonderful. I couldn't really concentrate on the play, because I was so busy controlling myself and not acting like a fool. After the play, we then went to Sammy's Cafe and had a late dinner. We talked some more and I kept finding myself liking this guy even more. We had so much in common, it was ridiculous. Oh and here's a funny thing. We finished eating and got into the car. He kept glancing over at me as we talked and suddenly I noticed that we were about to run a red light. I'm sure he noticed that my face probably got a bit panicky and he looked ahead right as we ran the light. His face got red and he started apologizing, saying, "I'm so sorry! I swear I'm a good driver. I've never done that before. I guess I was just distracted by you." So what he was saying, is that my "beauty" distracted him. Ha! He was so cute trying to explain himself as he started getting flustered and embarrassed. I just laughed and told him that he was fine. There was no traffic, so no harm done.<br />
We finally arrived home, in one piece, and he walked me up to the door. He told me he had a wonderful night, hugged me goodbye, and then we parted. I was floating on air when I went upstairs to tell my mom everything. A few minutes later my phone started ringing and guess who it was. Cameron. I answered and he told me again what a great night we had and then said "I just wanted to let you know that you looked really pretty tonight. I forgot to say it in person, but I wanted you to know." Wow, what a line! He thought I looked pretty! No guy has ever told me that.<br />
<br />
So we've only had two dates and already I was falling for this guy. I really REALLY hoped that we would keep going on dates, cause this was the best thing to ever happen to me.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655184241169442307.post-20362179588502507722013-07-16T10:40:00.003-06:002013-07-16T11:06:14.935-06:00Update Time!Wow, it's been a while since I've posted on here and oh boy, there sure has been a lot happening since August 2012. I guess I will mainly talk about the most important thing that has happened to me which is, I'M GETTING MARRIED. SURPRISE. Didn't see that one coming, did you? So let me explain.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;">
<br /></div>
In my Spring 2013 semester, I met the most amazing person in this entire universe. Cameron Hein. We were both in Fitness for Life. The funny thing is, he had already taken it at Snow College but it didn't transfer over. I was signed up for a different teacher, but decided at last minute to change my teacher. Coincidence? I think NOT! Anyways, we had to do Outdoor Activity Reports and I was building up the courage to ask him out. Britt, my wonderful sister who was living with us at the time, helped coach me what to say & how to act so I didn't seem like a complete fool around Cameron. (If you didn't know already, I was an amateur at being around guys. I had only been on two dates and was very awkward.) Now before I could ask Cameron to do an activity with me, HE ALREADY BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH. Now if you could only imagine how I reacted when he first asked to be Facebook friends, and then asked for my number, and then asked if I wanted to do an Outdoor activity. It was a pretty funny site. My heart was pounding and I felt like I could explode with giddiness. A GUY asked ME if we could do something together. Yes I know it wasn't a date "technically" but in my mind it was. So we went Ice Skating and wow, what an amazing night! He paid for my ticket, we talked the entire time, and afterwards he took me out for hot chocolate. It was the best night of my life! He took me home, walked me up to the door and before he left he hugged me. AAAHHH. A GUY HUGGED ME. That was the first time any guy had hugged me and it was amazing. Sure it only lasted like 2 seconds since I was new to this and pulled back, but boy was it wonderful! I was on cloud nine when I walked into the house and my mom could tell. I couldn't believe that I spent an evening with a guy by myself. It was unreal. Anyways, long story short. We continued to talk in class/get to know each other and kept going on dates. The more I got to know him, the more I wanted to be with him. My mom kept telling me not to have my expectations so high, cause we'd probably go on a few dates, but we kept on progressing. And now, look at us. We are getting married August 17, 2013 at the Mount Timpanogos Temple. Pretty spectacular, right?<br />
<br />
So what I'm going to do is I will make a separate post for all the things we did together/the story of our relationship. That way it's not all in one big post. So stay tuned for the story of Amy & Cameron.<br />

I WENT SKYDIVING. I don't even know how to fully describe it. All I can say is that it was the most amazing thing I've done all my life. The sensation was incredible and it was so much fun! I'm glad that my friend Carrie went with me. It was fun to hang out with her and do this crazy adventure with her. I would recommend doing this for anyone who's not scared of heights and wants to do something that will change their life. I would totally go again if anyone wants to do it. So here are some of my pictures and my video.

It was actually a lot of fun and I enjoyed myself. Usually I would have been at the parade and doing things with family, but everyone is in California. It was definitely a weird 4th of July, since I didn't have all the family over, but it was still fun. I'm glad that Carrie encouraged me to do the race with her. In the end, I actually did a whole lot better than I thought I would. I ran it in 32:38 minutes, which meant I was running at a 10:32 minute mile pace. It's a lot better than I've done in the past and I feel pretty proud of myself. Now I have a cool running shirt and a medal. Probably the only running medal I'll ever get.<div><br /></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfFbUAtPRxO2LpOXPlUYRynmMn0_jHKE5tQrSREw_wJfG4jo_-rn-rV_356VRkTFfNkg4_ZShwa0zFVqiIRLPp9vX4Wf6BZQVNzQvUmvnv8axe9OcFERvLI9i1a_yBy3d28m5yjR9L37s_/s320/photo.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5762866367588346114" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Me at the end of the race</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaArnGOEhidqLPk13kPRytkHXp_v_Gh1s_Td5gewS9QbUGH3IWElt5MxXqjJs8MfznbRuM8IARhIgYrTekSDHA4JL7sG1h-G-aqvkLpqYhD1Auur3WmhVI5r_9j4skzUMOaqjxJBYN6Fob/s1600/photo-2.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaArnGOEhidqLPk13kPRytkHXp_v_Gh1s_Td5gewS9QbUGH3IWElt5MxXqjJs8MfznbRuM8IARhIgYrTekSDHA4JL7sG1h-G-aqvkLpqYhD1Auur3WmhVI5r_9j4skzUMOaqjxJBYN6Fob/s320/photo-2.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5762866379613570210" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">My friend Carrie at the end of the race</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTSuDantoFvglafHodi4QZeqGIDDDNWlnn4xRx6oQbMkQ4nbk9rDNMHNX1bEisEeP_dy-Ke2uNVr0lwV2nFABC1wOGF0U15r1usjwlz5WraAPInVSlVCa-GGTYSlpm54CJt3AH0cBmxbJY/s1600/photo-1.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTSuDantoFvglafHodi4QZeqGIDDDNWlnn4xRx6oQbMkQ4nbk9rDNMHNX1bEisEeP_dy-Ke2uNVr0lwV2nFABC1wOGF0U15r1usjwlz5WraAPInVSlVCa-GGTYSlpm54CJt3AH0cBmxbJY/s320/photo-1.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5762866370861547778" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">My running team: Craig, Carrie, Brian, Chris, and Me</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655184241169442307.post-31481148966822437432012-06-20T09:46:00.006-06:002012-06-20T10:09:23.100-06:00Life updateHere's a quick update on my life so far:<div><br /></div><div>I'm halfway through my CNA program. It's been really fun so far and not too hard. Yesterday I became officially CPR and First Aid certified. Oh man, my arms are so sore. We did a lot of practicing and I added up my total amount of compressions I did on a mannequin. 2,250. That's a lot of times to push real hard on a stubborn mannequin.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWCC1BIayNUDwXq_w_A_UuwXzzPOdIcnbmBHt0tAfY_7H1B2PqhFyHV-Xi5c0_c915qTdyCh0eY8UDUtiNVfTM8hRm9vPfTTwytgvg5c4j8zY0Uuo5NFwhzHlPoKu3HuGhc-_wO_CYo9ad/s320/photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5756149789853284226" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Next is I've been training these past two weeks for the 4th of July Freedom 5k run! My good friend Carrie really wanted me to do it with her, since that's her birthday, so I agreed to do it. At first I didn't want to, because I'm not much of a runner, but as I've been running everyday I'm actually really excited to do it. I know that a 5k isn't a big deal to some people, but to me it is. I'm also excited to get a cool free shirt and to have a fun time with my friend. Plus in order to get ready I've been trying to eat really healthy. One of the things I've been eating, or drinking I guess, is a nice green smoothie. My favorite green smoothie is one that has: Spinach, Bananas, Flaxseed, Cinnamon, Honey, Protein powder, half milk, half water. IT IS SO GOOD.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpsrW_IYFMNL8lkzlpGSwSSUF5cG0C3zPbJ9805OUvCLS_Cjru7FkO1KP9tHR4wH2LlgXtF4M7NA7L92GiAqNub3ThsCLoZBnbM58hSCfLTsmDl0hlRbNataSmLQyp80EcUfhQcUgV9aW/s1600/photo+%25281%2529.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpsrW_IYFMNL8lkzlpGSwSSUF5cG0C3zPbJ9805OUvCLS_Cjru7FkO1KP9tHR4wH2LlgXtF4M7NA7L92GiAqNub3ThsCLoZBnbM58hSCfLTsmDl0hlRbNataSmLQyp80EcUfhQcUgV9aW/s1600/photo+%25281%2529.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpsrW_IYFMNL8lkzlpGSwSSUF5cG0C3zPbJ9805OUvCLS_Cjru7FkO1KP9tHR4wH2LlgXtF4M7NA7L92GiAqNub3ThsCLoZBnbM58hSCfLTsmDl0hlRbNataSmLQyp80EcUfhQcUgV9aW/s320/photo+%25281%2529.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5756150630867531362" style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>So that's basically all I've been up to besides work. Life is good and I'm glad for it. Oh, here's one last cute thing to end this post. Chelsey, my Mom, Cheri (my cousin), and I went out to eat for a girl's night out. Diesel of course came with us but was a sleep. He woke up when we were at the restaurant and had the cutest sad look on his face. If you can't tell, he has tears in his eyes. Here a few pictures I got on my iTouch.

<span style="font-family: Times;">Oops, I haven't posted on here in a while. My bad.
I guess I've just been busy with all the stuff I've been doing. So, let me do a
recap of everything that's happened this month and include some pictures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">1. I went on the annual Moab trip that Chelsey/Taylor
and their friends on go. We had a lot of fun going repelling, hiking, rafting,
camping, and eating good food. Plus, I got to spend a whole lot of time with
baby Diesel. Awww yeah!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">2. Went on a cute date with my nephew Railay. We had a
lot of fun playing superheroes, watching a movie and going to his favorite
place, McDonalds (yuck!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">3. Had a girl's day out with my sisters where we went
to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival and had a picnic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">4. I had my 20th birthday. Woo! I got a cool pop-up
tent, a nice sleeping bag, and then got to go to REI and get some more stuff
dealing with outdoor adventures. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;">6. I went on a trip to a cabin at Brighton Ski Resort
and that was a lot of fun. It snowed like 1 1/2'' on us, maybe even 2 feet. It
was really beautiful up there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sister Lindsey and sister Britt had their babies and they're both little
girls!! They are so adorable!! Lindsey's girl is named Catalina and Britt's is
named Izzy. I love them so much and I can't wait till them and their two other
cousins their age, Diesel and Marshall, are older and can be the four
musketeers. If you haven't noticed, I really love babies, especially my nieces
and nephews.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;">7. I'm starting my CNA program today. I'm pretty
excited to do it and I'm also excited to wear scrubs. Don't know why, but I

<span style="font-family: Times;">7. Don't know why I haven't posted it up on here yet,
but I'M GOING TO EUROPE IN FOUR MONTHS. AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! My mom and I are going
on a cruise to Italy in October! We'll first fly to Venice, Italy and stay
there for a day. Then the cruise ship takes off from there and goes to: Koper,
Slovenia, Split, Croatia, Dubrovnik, Croatia, Messina, Sicily, Naples, Italy,
and ends at Rome, Italy. We'll then stay in Rome for three or so days to see
everything there is to see. BUT OH MAN. You don't even realize how excited I am
for this! I've always dreamed of going to Italy and when my mom told we that we
were going, I literally screamed out loud and had tears in my eyes, cause I was
so happy. So, I can't wait till that happens cause then I'll have something
really cool to post on my blog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hopefully remember to post more often.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh my gosh, I got a B+ in my anatomy class! I can't believe that this has happened. This class was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I studied at least 30 hours a week, went to an unscheduled lab at least 10 hours a week, which was usually at 10 p.m. till midnight, AND THEN I also went to my scheduled lecture in lab class. Pretty much I had no life except for anatomy. I never got to hang out with people really or do anything fun. And if I did do something fun, I would feel immensely guilty. So, it feels absolutely amazing that I got the grade I need to count for the nursing program and that I don't have to retake it during the summer. I'm sure I would have gone crazy or something drastic if I had to retake it during the summer. WOO I'M DONE WITH IT. </div>

But before we made our way to Base Camp 1 we saw the Hunger Games. It was a good movie and I enjoyed it. :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">After the movie we headed up to our camp site. We stayed in their camper, which they had left in the middle of nowhere near Green River, and it was in a cool area. We didn't get in until late Friday evening, but on Saturday we did a lot of fun things. We went hiking up Black Dragon Wash, played a fun bean bag game, had a bonfire and cooked our dinner on it, celebrated Taylor's birthday a day early, played Settlers of Catan (of course), and other fun things. It was really nice to spend time with my family. I sure do love them a lot.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">THEN this last weekend was General Conference which was so amazing! I really felt that a lot of those talks connected to me and were something I needed to hear. It's definitely helped me to make some hard decisions I've had lately.

Haha! I love being a UVU student. Anyways, I had a really good time and it was especially fun because Tiff and her family AND Britt and her kids came down to visit for the week. What perfect timing! Even though I did have to go to school two of the days for lab, I got to spend lots of time with my wonderful family. On Tuesday us girls and kids met up in SLC at California Pizza Kitchen for lunch and then went to the Children's Discovery Museum. The kids absolutely loved it and I'm sure they could've stayed there all day long. Then after that some of us went back to mom's home and then had a zumba party. On Wed. we had a girls night out and learned how to make homemade paper from Jeff who works at the shop. I know it sounds weird, but it was really cool! </div><div>Those were the mains things I was involved with, but I did do a lot of hanging out with my sisters and kids. I am so lucky to have five amazing sisters (I count Britto as one of my sisters) and for them to be such amazing examples. I love each and everyone of them with all of my heart and especially all of their adorable kids! I can't wait to get married one day so my little kids and play with all of the cousins. </div><div>Anyways, that's all for now. Here are some pictures from our trip to SLC and of course pictures of the silly kids.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl7XW74U3DshzynDsHRKGCrT_3CEiAjg_QQYNZ9m1NAznalFcT2J5faF8ani8zI1kbPZhQbDWrWfK-hJQR-E-BYKLvu_mXbd_VtJaZ_S5PCT6dhbv5ys1dSQGh5XxIGgw7UzKL24s52dIM/s1600/DSC_0034.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

For those of you who don't know what Galentine's Day is, it's ladies celebrating ladies. My girlfriends and I all got together and went to a delicious sweet shop called the Chocolate. It was nice to hang out with them, since I hardly have time to do so, and to eat delicious desserts. <div>Then for Valentine's day, mom made a very nice dinner and then I showed her, dad, and Cheri the first episode of Pushing Daisies. That show is beautiful and the best thing of all time. After that, I have a very VERY special date planned. Now this guy who I went with, he isn't the most lively person I've met and he's very laid back. Oh, did I mention that he's a cadaver a.k.a a dead person? Yeahhhh, I spent my Valentine's evening with a cadaver for my anatomy class. So, I think I should win an award for the most unique Valentine's date. </div><div>Anyways, that's all for now. I will now leave you with a great quote from Pushing Daisies.</div><div><br /></div><div>"[A hug is] like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you and they give you a squeeze and all of your fear and anxiety comes shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breath again."<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; "> </span></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655184241169442307.post-68547279037860209092012-02-09T18:51:00.002-07:002012-02-09T19:01:39.635-07:00I see dead peopleToday in my human anatomy class, we finally got to start working with the cadavers! So I literally saw dead people today. I thought I was going to be unsettled by it, but actually I thought it was fascinating. Of course the body didn't look as I thought it was going to be, since it was all dissected, muscles pulled apart, some limbs unattached, and nothing like an actual human being, but it was very interesting. I now feel that if I can observe the cadavers without feeling sick then I can be a nurse! <div>Now another cool thing that happened today in class was I suddenly got hit by the spirit. As we were talking about the different joints in the body and how some of them, like the synovial joints, are special compared to other joints because they have certain properties that prevent the friction of bones rubbing each other raw, WHICH prevents people from enduring excruciating pain that would lead to the bones becoming pretty much disintegrated. Anyways, it just hit me that there is no possible way that there could not be a God. I cannot conceive any way of how our very VERY intricate bodies could have been made by some explosion or whatever, and not by a very intelligent being. So, it was really neat to have my testimony of the creation and of our Heavenly Father strengthened in my anatomy class. Who knew?! </div><div>Anyways, I better get back to studying my million things of anatomy. </div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655184241169442307.post-51278680955857002012012-02-05T22:10:00.004-07:002012-02-05T22:22:40.199-07:00Quote of the dayHere's a quote from a tv show I adore called Pushing Daisies. I whole-heartedly agree with this quote. Trying to be happy is a very brave thing to do, especially during this day and age where there are a lot of people suffering depression or some kind of sadness in their life. I believe that if we try to be happy, even though we may feel sad for any particular reason, we'll eventually learn to overcome the veil of despair that looms over us and be enlightened by the rays of happiness. Starting now, I want to make a goal to wake up every morning and choose to be happy. Even if school is stressing me out, if I'm feeling sad about something, or whatever may happen, I won't allow myself to be sad. I will constantly try my best to always be happy. Anyways, this is a quote where I think that everyone should have printed out and placed somewhere where they can see it everyday<div><br /></div><div><i><b>"I think it's brave to try to be happy. You've gotten so comfortable being unhappy. Wouldn't it be wonderful to wake up in the morning and choose to be happy, to let the water wash everything away?" - Vivian Charles in Pushing Daisies.</b></i></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655184241169442307.post-53078772372752462022012-02-01T00:26:00.004-07:002012-02-01T00:47:02.713-07:00Best work day of all time!<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>So today at work, I had a pretty awesome day. For being a trophy/sports shop we have dealt with some cool items/done some cool trophies, medals, plaques, etc through out my time working there. We've engraved on samurai swords, machetes, and other awesome survival blades. We've made an acrylic award for the rapper Jay-Z and trophies, plaques, medals with color picture that looks like an actual photograph. But the items I got to play with today are supreme compared to anything we've ever dealt with. Ladies and gentlemen, I got to deal with REAL LIFE DINOSAUR BONES. Did you hear me? I SAID DINOSAUR BONES. This has been the highlight of my entire day. We have four authentic dinosaur bones sitting in our plaque room. There are three bones belonging to a Triceratop (a rib section, a vertebra, and a horn), and a metatarsal bone belonging to a Hadrosaur.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In the end, we are no ordinary trophy shop but we are the coolest one in the entire world because we get to have dinosaur bones in our presence.

I hope that I can remember everything and they won't be in exact order of what I did first.<br /><div><ul><li>Went to the midnight premier of Harry Potter 7 part two, which was absolutely amazing! There were so many feelings and tears during that movie.</li><li>Moved out into Park Plaza apartments with my friends.</li><li>Went on a road trip to St. George with my friends where we went hiking around town and at Snow Canyon, swimming, and other fun things.</li><li>Went to the Tracy Aviary in SLC with my friends where we saw different types of owls, eagles, vultures, peacocks, and a whole bunch of exotic birds. We only had to pay $1 since they had a special offer and I would recommend people to take their little kids to it. It's was pretty cool.</li><li>Marshall Kenney Dutson was born in November.

I guess it's partially due to that I forgot my username and also probably because I forgot about this blog. Oops. BUT I really want to get back into blogging mainly so I can document my life since I'm really bad at writing in my journal. Anyways, seeing as the last time I posted was in April 2011, I have a lot of catching up to do. I figure that I would just do another list of things that happened to me, except I do want to talk about a few things that have happened somewhat recently. First of all, back in November my sister Summer had her seventh child Marshall Kenney Dutson. He is an adorable, chunky boy and I just love him so much. The picture I have of him isn't current, so you can't really see how big he's become. Marshall is number 14 out of all the grandkids. Next on the list is about two weeks ago, on January third, my sister Chelsey had her first baby. His name is Diesel Dean Ogden. Oh boy, he is such an adorable baby. It's so nice to have a nephew who only lives two minutes away, so I definitely get to see him a lot. Diesel is number 15 out of all the grandkids. Now, while I'm on a roll with these babies I also want to mention that my sister Lindsey is pregnant, but isn't finding out what the sex is, and also my sister Britt is pregnant with another little girl! It's so very exciting to have so many babies in the family and by June I will have 17 nephews and nieces! WOWZA</span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Now that I'm done with baby news, pretty much all I've done with my life is started a new semester of school, in which I'm taking Human Anatomy as a prerequisite for the Nursing program. All I can/want to say about this class is it is the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. It is most definitely not a piece of cake. Besides school I've been working, living on my own with my friends, gone on some crazy adventures, and some other things. I'll make another post that contains all of the things I've done since April so </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">that this post won't be super long. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Anyways, I'll try my best to keep this old thing updated and I'm sure I'll have some exciting things to post up in the future. Also, these two pictures of my latest nephews are from when they were just newborns. They've already changed a lot, especially Marshall who's grown a lot bigger. I'll have to get some recent pictures to put on here.</span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">This is baby Marshall.

Now to start off, two weeks ago on March 20 my sister Lindsey and her hubby went on a trip to South America, which meant that we got to watch her three cute little boys North, Railay, and Rowan. We got to babysit them for an entire week and since it was my spring break that week and my parents were super busy at the shop, I did a lot of the babysitting. It was so much fun to watch those crazy kids and it definitely helped me prepare myself for when I had kids one day, which won't be for a while but still. I enjoyed have little Rowan snuggle with me when he was tired and playing games with the North and Railay. They were a blast to have. Then on the thursday that week, my sister Tiffiny came up with her two sweet little kids, Weston and Hailey, because they had an appointment at Primary Children's Hospital for poor little Hailey. We had a lot of fun playing with those kids and it was so cute to see all of the cousins playing together. So, that's what happened the first week. Then on the second week, which was the last week of March, we had Chelsey's family bridal shower and that was a lot of fun. She sure got a lot of cute things! And now for these last couple of days. </div><br /><div>On April 1 2011, Chelsey Elizabeth Wilkinson married Taylor Dean Ogden in St. George. It was a beautiful wedding and Chelsey looked absolutely stunning. It made me a bit sad to see my sister get married and leave, but I am super happy that they are finally together. I am sure that they are going to have a wild, adventurous marriage. Then after the wedding on Saturday, my family and I went up to this canyon area that had this small slot canyon thing called "The Crack". It was really cool walking through it and boy was it claustrophobic! The walls were squeezing me tight, but I made it through! After that we had a picnic in the park by the temple and then we all made our way back home. I had an amazing time with my family at Chelsey's wedding and Taylor's family seems like a very awesome family. I'm glad that I got to know them.</div><br /><div>OH, also this weekend was General Conference. Sadly I wasn't able to see Saturday's sessions, but todays sessions were amazing! There were many powerful talks today and I especially loved Elder Scott, Elder Holland, and Elder Utchdorf's talks today. They were very good.</div><br /><div>Anyways, that's all for now. Here are a few pictures from this weekend. I could have put up a lot more, since my mom had over a thousand pictures, but I am too lazy to put a lot up. ^^;</div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWxiXYZACiXTdXxBPCzyyqTXtaC9Rex2ZEdaO13DSS2DfDGFc8akayQXHV9YDZoCOc7n3Pt3xhbTAXxx0_lPDlGC_DDzMTDpBqdAthz3-imLf16LJhupyS_oGuUsnvHMVH7ZfcgPsQMNEG/s1600/DSC_0220.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591496232940639234" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWxiXYZACiXTdXxBPCzyyqTXtaC9Rex2ZEdaO13DSS2DfDGFc8akayQXHV9YDZoCOc7n3Pt3xhbTAXxx0_lPDlGC_DDzMTDpBqdAthz3-imLf16LJhupyS_oGuUsnvHMVH7ZfcgPsQMNEG/s320/DSC_0220.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHt6nWPPExxO4kCZFtDulTUQWKeNU8UvSzim7-HjptLq8k4JRzslOTd_rIuSs9MaF5KCbecZ-ViRazm9ftJXmK0V_hNFwcRCVwkHASUW4PitfaXGwIQK5jcKD6bbidm5V3Lz6eQZWj3fTW/s1600/DSC_0246.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591496767990374626" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHt6nWPPExxO4kCZFtDulTUQWKeNU8UvSzim7-HjptLq8k4JRzslOTd_rIuSs9MaF5KCbecZ-ViRazm9ftJXmK0V_hNFwcRCVwkHASUW4PitfaXGwIQK5jcKD6bbidm5V3Lz6eQZWj3fTW/s320/DSC_0246.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBmLx059Jv1HGHpaBB-xUNEXippUlKWcG5KVno-Uq0W7LOvkOV4P2ZrolZ4fzOvbUhyphenhyphenXEA3i8EPv-ODcGUdqzBd6gTYyeekqcf-GGjrq-5Fjku5ZrsnBUV3_MbSbGLILEt1YogVOzDe8Fm/s1600/DSC_0267.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591496945538518450" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBmLx059Jv1HGHpaBB-xUNEXippUlKWcG5KVno-Uq0W7LOvkOV4P2ZrolZ4fzOvbUhyphenhyphenXEA3i8EPv-ODcGUdqzBd6gTYyeekqcf-GGjrq-5Fjku5ZrsnBUV3_MbSbGLILEt1YogVOzDe8Fm/s320/DSC_0267.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div>Here I am entering "The Crack" </div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUWbCsGuSgOdtixC0navhpcBwKk8_LAhhaCPJ1eqEzShuoW-6AMPQ2FFM3JWeoxvmmPNLYvmLRnSCC9-8r15gmHJJpDeInS-LBOYQ0RDbjLf7QAkO7S2RZ4iHr6DtBz0EjOcbrBmXWders/s1600/DSC_0922.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591497056158453410" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUWbCsGuSgOdtixC0navhpcBwKk8_LAhhaCPJ1eqEzShuoW-6AMPQ2FFM3JWeoxvmmPNLYvmLRnSCC9-8r15gmHJJpDeInS-LBOYQ0RDbjLf7QAkO7S2RZ4iHr6DtBz0EjOcbrBmXWders/s320/DSC_0922.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5xjc-zervvKYHtOpxjsh2s2KRJKKyBmAxKyuoioH06dkbtymVCGShTUmDDIEAgasbLfRYyidkWHkZ9stURL-ZndT_x7W5j5nIlIGkhfll-yY9TOHYtoc85j-wbRnhrp8jKo1ZTEF4QtDD/s1600/DSC_0155.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591497350407265922" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5xjc-zervvKYHtOpxjsh2s2KRJKKyBmAxKyuoioH06dkbtymVCGShTUmDDIEAgasbLfRYyidkWHkZ9stURL-ZndT_x7W5j5nIlIGkhfll-yY9TOHYtoc85j-wbRnhrp8jKo1ZTEF4QtDD/s320/DSC_0155.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUoxDKVNkub7LExwcz6PrNdONNhbD8jf5qy558w9mR-LjpZuHAqkzK1vpnNgXOPOcWUzbQCOlyuFvfu9hgKGKt07Ve5xfthHFAi6_riWLQ1fs6l9qktZMNfWetqD7fKpNUOulzK98G_sUR/s1600/DSC_0184.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591497239886854578" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUoxDKVNkub7LExwcz6PrNdONNhbD8jf5qy558w9mR-LjpZuHAqkzK1vpnNgXOPOcWUzbQCOlyuFvfu9hgKGKt07Ve5xfthHFAi6_riWLQ1fs6l9qktZMNfWetqD7fKpNUOulzK98G_sUR/s320/DSC_0184.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655184241169442307.post-2746748842718210802011-03-10T10:16:00.005-07:002011-03-10T10:38:00.884-07:00Tuesdays With MorrieI've just finished a book that I've read before called Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom and pretty much it is one of my all time favorites. This book is based on a true story that the author experienced and to me it was a life changing experience to read it. It's a really short book, but extremely powerful. So, if you haven't read this book and have time for a quick read, then I highly suggest reading it asap. If you have read it before, then I suggest you read it again to remind yourself of the good lessons it teaches. Anyways, I thought I would post that up here. Also, here a few of the many awesome quotes I love from it.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people to trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too–even when you’re in the dark.

It consisted of eight essay questions and with each essay there were two paintings. Now with those paintings I had to first identify them, which meant I had to know the artist, title, exact date, style, and medium. Then after I identified both paintings, I had to answer four or more compare and contrast questions dealing with the paintings. So, this meant that I needed to know the symbols, meanings, advancements, techniques, reasons why it was a specific style, and pretty much every little detail about every painting. As I prepared for this test I was very nervous and when I actually took it, I spent 3 1/2 hours writing the eight essays. <div>Finally after waiting for two weeks, my teacher handed back the tests and guess what? I got a 99% on it! I couldn't believe that I had actually done that well on it. The only reason that I missed one point was because I forgot to mention on one of the paintings that its patron was the Medici family. So, pretty much I knew every stinkin' detail. <div>Anyways, I just wanted to update this little triumphant moment. Hopefully I will be able to do as well on my next art test, which is next week. </div></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655184241169442307.post-12127645192691166872011-02-19T10:19:00.002-07:002011-02-19T10:25:06.277-07:0026 family members and counting!At this current moment I have 26 members in my family, but in a couple of months I shall have 27 members! The reason why is because my sister Chelsey got engaged to Taylor! And you know what? It's about time! I am so excited to have Taylor be a part of my family, especially getting to know him after who knows how many years. Chelsey and Taylor will be an awesome, crazy, adventurous couple and I'm glad that they're finally getting married. They are good for each other and I'm happy to be able to call Taylor my brother soon. <div>Anyways, I thought that I would just share this piece of exciting news. I'm pretty stoked about it. :)<br /><div><br /></div></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06759567832440392342noreply@blogger.com1
