The Final Countdown....

Well, it's official, I'm going to turn 30 this year.  I don't think I'm worried about it, really I didn't want to do anything special at all, but I decided to make a list of 30 things to do before I'm 30, like my friend Ana did.  It was kind of fun, and hopefully will serve as a distraction.

So as the final countdown begins. (138 days to go), I'll introduce you to my list:

30 for 30
  1. Write a song for the guitar and perform it.
  2. Run a 10 minute mile.
  3. Teach Hurley a circus trick.
  4. Get Sunny out of my head.
  5. Learn to Salsa.
  6. Fix my cemetery.
  7. Transplant flowers from Cody's house to my house.
  8. Write on my blog 30 times.
  9. Go to the temple 30 times.
  10. Start a public blog. (should i write about water or sleep disorders?)
  11. Read the Book of Mormon.
  12. Write real letters to 30 friends or family. (if you want one, let me know).
  13. Make homemade cinnamon rolls.
  14. Make fortune cookies.
  15. Make egg foo yong.
  16. Sew a levi quilt.
  17. Go scuba diving.
  18. Tour the copper mine.
  19. Score over 300 points on family history extraction.
  20. Go on 1 date.
  21. Lose 30 lbs.
  22. Learn a new song on the piano.
  23. Go to a party.
  24. Wear high heels to work for 1 full week.
  25. Retake the GMAT and score over 500.
  26. Hike part or all of Timpanogos.
  27. Go on an American Roadtrip to see the Redwood Trees.
  28. Patronize the Hill Aerospace Museum.
  29. Host a Rosca de Reyes/Groundhog Day Feast. (you're invited)
  30. ------ (no #30, any ideas?)
I'll be posting updates on each of my list items as I progress and/or accomplish them.  It could really end in disaster. Oh, well. 

See you in 138 days, 30, until then depress someone else!.

Covenants / Covenant Keeping August 12-19, 2018 This week I decided to study about covenants and being a covenant keeping person. My goal while I’m at law school is to balance my secular education with a spiritual education. Personal study, other than while I was serving on my mission, has never been consistent. I love to learn and read about the gospel but I’m not always as dedicated to it as I should be. I guess you could say I was hoping I could make a small kind of covenant with the Lord that if I would dedicate sometime each day to study His words and teachings that He’ll somehow help me to make it through what’s ahead at law school. I’ll let you know how it goes. Covenants have been on my mind off and on for the last year. Sister Wendy Nelson, President Nelson’s (the Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) wife, came and spoke to a large group of women in our area last year and the main focus of her message was about being “covenant keeping women.”...

30 for 30 - #30: Do something to my hair I've always wanted to do but never dared.

Thank you Jaquelin Stallings for suggesting this as my #30.  It is affordable, and it just so happens that for the last 8 years I talked about changing my hair every winter, but never did it.  I am not prejudice of people with brown hair, but when the weather changes, and things get cold and grey I always feel like coloring my hair brown because it makes me sad. I really like my blonde hair, and even more since my sister-in-law started taking care of it for me.  She is the best.  And luckily! She said she can fix it by my birthday so I was less afraid to take this one on.  I did it!! Before Blonde me.  After Brown hair me (with a strange look on my face) It turned out a little "warmer" than I anticipated, but it might fade out a little.  Guess we'll find out.  What do you think? Brown or blonde?

Summer Project #1 - The Hydrant Sprinkler

So, I recently took after my sisters and made a lengthy list.  Mine is of house projects I would like to do, or save up for (is more realistic).  My first project was to move my birthday present from Jeremy, a Pacific State fire hydrant, from my patio so we wouldn't be the junk yard neighbors. Birthday Present 2010 Pre Make Over Although it was a good looking hydrant before I started working on it, our patio is only 10' and it was a little out of place, and in the way. A little TLC is understatement.  I took the entire hydrant apart (hydrant anatomy lesson post forthcoming), drilled new holes in different pieces, greased it up, repainted it, designed and implemented a new plumbing system and........ VOILA!!! I had a brand new sprinkler for our flower bed/veggie garden.  Note:  there are three sprinklers built into the hydrant, which I might have connected to our landscape sprinkler system without permission from the HOA.  Also n...
