two timing decisions



Okay, it's been about a week since i last updated, which is probably because I haven't had time this week to even sleep. I remember I used to sleep a good 7-8 hours a night. Now, it's about 5-6. Either I got a life, or..no I got a life haha So anyways, Snowboarding is the business! Yes, the business. I went with a group of scattered level snowboarders. Some were pro, some were first timers. Miriam & I decided from the get go to stick together. We were about the same..sucky. So we started out pretty pathetic. We couldn't stand longer than 4 seconds. But thank goodness we are GIRLS! Boys don't get special treatment like we do. An angel from the heavens found us & randomly taught us to Snowboard! We were so good by our 3rd run!





So that was Wednesday. I can't remember anything else until Friday night when it all went down hill :(

We had an incident in our apartment Friday night. Saturday was the after effect. My roommate Libby is gone. Her room is empty, her cupboards are empty & she is gone. After Friday, her & her parents decided the best thing for her right now is to move home. As sad as it is, I'm happy she was able to make that decision. Libby is by far one of my best friends. She understands and accepts people for who they are. She's comforting and always held the spirit in our house. She has always been so honest & upfront with everyone she's ever met. Libby has helped me get through some tough times. I miss her so much already. Saying goodbye to her was hard, but good. I tried not to cry for her sake. I know how it is to say goodbye to something that you don't necessarily want to leave. & let me just say, the snow began to rapidly fall as she drove away & that was no coincidence. The Branbury got cold when she left :( I've never had a friend leave me. I've always been the one to leave. I miss her guts already & I'm sad every time I walk past her bedroom. That girl deserves the best guy out there! If I were a guy, I'd marry her. & I'd love & support that girl every day of my life!!! Miriam & I are all on our own now. The two babies of the fam bam. We got this.

Monday Funday!


While most people hate Mondays, I actually really Love them! You get to start out a brand new week in whatever way you want! Last weekend was very adventurous and way crazy. Event after event kept surprising me! But I am so happy it is Monday, because I can get in my routine. Monday mornings are my favorite because I get to wake up & go to the gym super early & not a soul is ever in my gym. It is mine, & I love it. I turn the news on, or blast some music & pump it! Then I come home, shower, & put together my green monster smoothie! It is fantastic. The I read some scriptures, feast upon the word! Then head to work. After work today I get to have FHE at Bishops. I love my Bishop. He seriously is the most awesome man I have ever met (besides my dad!) HE always has that power to uplift & inspire me. He has brought me so much hope to my life & completely turned things around for me.

I love Monday. It gives me the chance to prove to myself that I can make it through another week happily. & I totally will! I'm so proud of my decisions lately. I've made some big decisions in my life & always felt scared & unsure at the time. But now, I am finally seeing the blessings & opportunities coming from those decisions!

Anyways! Here's my fanfreakingtastic green monster smoothie!
Ps..yea the pictures are in backwards order, but I don't have time to fix it, so deal with it.

1 FROZEN banana
1-2 handfuls of baby spinach. fresh. Don't be cheap & go fresh because you'll get a chunky spinach smoothie.
1 cup fat free milk
how ever much you want frozen fruit. I like the tropical. Mangoes, pineapple, & starawberry, although this specific smoothie has no strawberry in in.
2 tsp oil. I only do this part because it's important to get those 2 tsp into your daily diet, & I have no idea how to get it in any other way. You can't taste it, don't worry.






Next, I'll be adding flax seed just as soon as I figure out what it looks like & where to buy it. Start your day out with a green monster smoothie & life will be energetic & happy!


Happy Freaking Monday People!

Oh happy daaaayyyy


This is what happens when you put a Kendall in a room & tell her to write a talk for sacrament. I soo did not want to write this talk for some reason. Bishop asked me on Wednesday, & I literally didn't have a single time to even think about what I was going to talk about. I had a subject, but no words came to mind & I wasn't in my apartment all week! Luckily I was able to finish everything off this morning & my talk is done.

So, LIFE IS GOOOD. I'm super excited about a few things going down lately, but I'm not going to talk about it just yet. There is still some..finalizing to do? Work is great, minus the fact that I work with something that tries to STEAL ALL MY LEADS! It's going down Monday morning. Church is AWESOME. I've never felt stronger. & my friends; oh how I adore them.

I've decided this week, that I am going to cook! I love cooking, but I never do it because it takes too long. & it's expensive as crap to be healthy! I have to shop at least twice a week to continuously have fruits and veggies. I haven't started my spinach shakes yet, but I have all I need & I'll be trying that tomorrow! I'm excited.

Well, there is my update for the week. Ready for another great one :)

Scatter Brain

I've noticed a pattern in my life. & I kinda like it. This job has done me so much good. I love that I actually have stability now. Every day with Shelf Reliance was different & uncertain & it made me unhappy. I was off everyday at 2, but when I got home, I was never in a good mood or had the energy to do anything. I feel alive now! I work more, but it's given me the energy I need to make it through my day with a good attitude.

Also, I've been noticing a lot of new facts about myself these days.
-It took moving to Utah to get me addicted to caffeine.
-I love to work out; hating getting ready to work out.
-My hair is awesome..Call me conceited, but I went to hell & back to get this hair.
-I am happier when I write. I write in my journal almost every day, & when I don't, I'm not as enthusiastic about life.
-Sometimes, I do like to be alone.
-I have honey nut cheerios with sliced bananas every single morning of my life. Sometimes for dinner.

I love that today is Sunday, but I wish I had gotten an extra cherry DP with real lime to hold me over til tomorrow. Last night was the adult session of Stake Conference, & today's session is at 2. As irritable as it was for me to sit through 2 hours of it yesterday, I will do my best at being reverent this session. No matter how bad my anxiety/OCD/PMS kicks in; whatever that was last night..it was bad.


Last thought!
If you are looking for a good way to get your 2 (recommended) teaspoons of oil in a day, put it in a fruit smoothie. You won't taste it a bit! Does anyone know a good way to get veggies in your diet? =/ I hate veggies..

Truth be told

Yea, truth be told I don't update as much now that I am back on facebook.

So..truth be told..I have a few things to update on.
1. Tomorrow is my favorite day of the week again! (except for Sunday of course) I get to sleep in, go to the temple, get a facial, meet with my trainer, then have a Relief Society Retreat. Anyways, so I was thinking the other day..I was having a down day; which has not happened in a long freaking time, & I was just thinking about how happy I USED to be. It bummed me out for sure. Until I started thinking about my life in general as of right now.
IT MADE ME SO HAPPY!
I have never been so happy with myself in my life. I have never be so spiritually grounded. I have never held a worthy temple recommend and attended the temple on a weekly basis. I've never made it habit to wake up earlier than usual EVERY SINGLE DAY to have time to read the scriptures and pray. I've never been happier. Truth be told..

2. I SOLD A CONTRACT TODAY! I AM A LEASING CONSULTANT! Heck to the motha freakin yes I am! Funny story about that though. I have been helping this guy Manuel out trying to find an apartment for about a week now. So my friend Kami & I have been talking about him all week. We've been wanting him to sign with us soo bad so we could be friends with him because he's hilarious. So anyways, he came in today, & she was off so she called me to chat while I was working & he happened to be there at the time signing his contract..& she was talking to me joking around saying stuff like,
"Are you going to marry him?"
"Are you gonna make him make you babies?"
"You love him huh?"
Yea well..as soon as I got off I looked up at him & he said, "She talks loud..." & then winked at me...AHHH I was so embarrassed! I looked down so fast to keep from turning red! In the end..it was hilarious..& Kami ended up buying me a cupcake..So, overall..good day at work.

3. Did you know it is now suggested you eat 5-6 fruits/veggies a day?? That's a lot! It USED to be 3-4. Today I had a banana, orange, apple & carrots..I don't know what else to do!
The.end.
