Life is Crazy, Life is Sweet

Sorry I haven't updated in a while! All summer I was busy working and running around non stop doing fun things like: hiking, dates with the bf (tennis, movies, soccer, dinner, arcades, boating, golf, gym dates are the best, lagoon, seven peaks, and tons of other stuff,) movies and girls nights with the roomies, dance parties! I hiked a lot this summer it was so amazing! I love hiking. I worked a lot as well and tried saving up as much as I could so I could survive on Part Time pay this semester while going to school 5 days a week.

I met Chris through my Amazing Cousin Carson. He is in Carsons ward and Carson had been "interviewing" Chris for like a month before he even told me about him. He thought he'd be perfect for me and would treat me so well. And boy was he right!!! I was dating around and not looking for anything and just wanted to focus on school and having fun cuz I had, had it with dating and constantly meeting "tools." Everyone kept setting me up and I wasn't in to anyone so I was very done with blind dates when Carson told me about Chris. Good thing I trust Carson. When I met Chris I was actually excited because he seriously had everything I had ever wanted in a guy. Before our date I actually went to Carsons ward to make sure he was tall enough for me! Haha! (I'd been going out w a lot of short guys.) He passed and was super excited for our date. I went to Carsons FHE that monday before the date as wellm just for fun and to my surprise Chris gave the thought for the night and I felt the spirit super strongly, it was crazy. I wish I could remember what he said...But I could tell he was an amazing guy. But (and chris will totally back me up) I was so anti boy and relationship that I made him chase me for a few months. I kept telling him, from day one, that I wasn't looking for anything and wanted to keep dating other people and wanted to still have fun being single. He was so great and would just smile and say that was perfectly fine. He'd tell me I could do whatever I wanted and but he wasn't going anywhere and he was there for me. He also said he wasn't going to date anyone else and that he's gonna keep showing me how much I meant to him. Man hes stubborn :) JK!

So after a few months of seeing each other quite frequently, him taking care of me when I was sick, bouquets of flowers, him complimenting me all the time (even at my worst), us talking about anything and everything, sweet notes left on my car and doorstep, meeting his family, my fav flower, a lily, waiting for me on my bed after a long horrible day at work, giving me a burned cd of songs I wanted, making me dinners, a few sentimental gifts (one that made me cry), tickling my back throughout like every movie, him giving me any and all freedom I wanted and needed, and him letting me have ability to tell him anything.....I caved! On the 4th of July before the fireworks he gave me an amazing ring that had writing around it that said I think of you all the time, and we had a picnic he made for us that seriously could have fed a country. That was the night I told him I was ready to be his girlfriend! It took a lot of thinking and praying! He was super happy and we had an amazing evening together and watched the thanksgiving point fireworks.

So that is part of our story. Since then we've been to cali to meet my fam and we've been inseparable. I'm so happy I met him. And every day he treats me like a princess. I've never been treated as good as he treats me, and I feel extremely spoiled and sorry for the girls who don't get to be with him! (Not really! Suckas!)

My Life Be Like... OoooooAhhhhOooooAhhhh

Most of you have probably given up reading my blog by now. I would have if I were you. Last post... September really?? And it was an Eeyore post on top of it! Lifes been pretty great and pretty crazy! I am back in Orem and loving every second. I live with 5 other girls in a house and love them all! Ashlee is leaving this saturday to peru for 3 months and am very sad to see her go! We have a previous roommate (before i had moved in) moving in in her place though who is already one of my best friends! Today was my last day of my first semester in a Licensed Practial Nursing Program (first year of nursing school.) When they said nursing school was hard... they meant it! I've been working full time at the IHC hospitals in utah county, as a CNA. Still doing Float Pool-calling in an hour before shift and then going to a different unit all the time. Its so fun. I have been working strictly graveyards though which has been gnarly. But starting Monday of next week I am strictly day shift! Changing  from Mckay Dee in Ogden to the IHC hospitals in Utah County was hard the first month but I am definitely growing accustomed to it!

 For those of you who communicate with me you know the updates on whats been going on in my dating life. Oh how inconceivably preposturous dating can be. Why do we even bother? I hate all of you who no longer have to suffer through first dates, or getting your heart broken, or getting set up with guys who could be related to hobbits (that was rude..they have wonderful spirits.) I love when that happens though. Then you think to yourself... Really? This is what you think of me? Apparently if you are LDS and not married ASAP you better get on that. Oh Conference you never cease to amaze me. Guys step it up haha. I guess there are a lot of older kids who aren't getting married. I am 21 years old. Lets be honest I'm still a baby and still haven't discovered parts of my brain. And to be even more honest I'm still figuring out who Jade is exactly. Please people no more monotonous Utah County questions! Every day at work I get the... "Sooooo do you have kids?" No. "Oh, are you married?" No. "Oooh, so are you dating anyone?: No. "Oh...." Ya but you are huh? And you think I am weird for not being married with 3 babies by now? Haha. No thank you I choose to know my spouse and date and have fun while i can! I now have a total of....5 friends divorced all under that age of 24. I prefer to get to know guys then maybe date them then MAYBE just maybe have a relationship to get to know them further. Lets not talk about marriage until we get to know eachother okay? Can we do that? Fewf! Good. That was my rant. Can I tell you how I really feel about it? HAHA. I am done.

So, I have been working out vigourously as usual. But I had started eating like a ravenous hyena last May when I started working at a hospital. Treats and Food EVERYWHERE. You have to have some serious self control to not be an obese cow working at a hospital! So I have slowly gained some weight that needs to be shed ASAP. I started calorie counting about a week and a half ago. I'm seeing slight improvement. I feel hungary all the time which is fun. But i'm learning self control again. Of course I slip up but my eating habits are better. And therefore feeling good about myself! Go Me!

Well I am going to upload pictures of the last few months of my life so I can remember them someday when I'm old and gray.

There Is No One Alive Who Is Youer Than You!

I haven't posted in quite a while. I guess a lot has happened. I'm single and out in the dating world again and let me tell ya its fabulous! Not... Idk what the deal is but people keep setting me up with guys that def aren't my type, and the ones that could be are all my flippin height! Where have all the tall guys gone?? My first blind date was with my ex Eric, so I've given the blind dating thing like 5 tries since and they have all been great guys but not interested in them that way. Its been pretty hard letting go of Eric still, I thought I'd be over it by now its been like 3 months! It was never this hard with previous relationships. I have good days and bad days. I'm still truckin. I've definitely decided that I don't want to be in a relationship anytime soon and just want to focus on myself and school. I decided the next guy I go for I will date for a while and I have to be totally gaga over before I take that step again. I don't know what is with these girls who jump from guy to guy and don't even really like who they are with. Although I've had some pretty lame dates each one I've learned more about myself and what I'm looking for in my future man.

Oh I broke my stupid foot a few months ago I wanna say the end of July. I was double dutch jump roping with my friends and hopped in and rolled my foot and it broke the 5th metatarsal. 1st broken bone! Not gonna lie is was awful! Crutches for 3 weeks. Couldn't work for a month. I'm still in the boot at work and the gym but I can walk around without it doing other things. Its been forever. Its so annoying! 

I'm going to school at WSU this semester and love my teachers. (Funny story I was set up on a blind date before school started and turns out he is my Physiology Lab instructor now! He's the only one I've really had an interest in and we are still hanging out but are building that friend foundation first.) I'm doing well in my classes and working my butt off! My friends tell me I don't have a life outside the hospital and school haha but  I gotta do what I gotta do. I'm still working at the Hospital and really love it. My favorite units are Pediatrics, OB (with the babies), and the ER.

I applied for an LPN program down in Orem. I really want to move back to Provo if I can because I have some great friends down there and loved the social atmosphere. Its the first time i've applied to that school so I feel like its a one in a million chance i'll get in in January but keep me in your prayers! I may move back down in January anyway if I find a job with IHC and just go to slcc 2 days a week and work on the Nursing Bachelors until I get into the Orem school. Its really hard right now because I am the kind of person who makes plans and follows them.. but right now I don't have a plan and it stresses me out! My future has no set plan and I'm just going where the wind blows me.

I was thinking about moving to South Ogden and have been looking at places and praying about it of course. I got my answer last Sunday. I have just been called as Relief Society Teacher in my NSL ward! I am thrilled and so nervous. I feel like that was the answer to my prayers and I need to stay put until January comes around. I'm so excited to teach YSA Relief Society I really feel like I can be a good role model for the girls ( not trying to toot my own horn) and in the process learn more about myself and gain an even stronger testimony. I love the gospel so much!! My first lesson was supposed to be today... :( but during sacrament I got sick and had to make an emergency exit :/ brings me back to 5th grade when I was singing on stage in front of the whole school and had to run out and in the process threw up on some kid haha. He was prob traumatized. Luckily I made it to the bathroom this time!

 I just took a look at my parents blog and feel like I'm missing out on my little sister growing up... She is so talented! She just finished starring in yet another play and is a danceaholic :) I'm so proud of her and everything shes doing! We are so different in our talents and I really can't express how proud of her I am! I hope she will always turn to me with problems she faces and that she always looks to me as an example that goes for all my cute little cousins too, I always try to set a good example :) I love you all!!

(I'm gonna post hawaii pics soon and misc things.)

And that was all she wrote.
