I realized that I’m obsessive. First it was
Whole30, now it is anatomy. I fixate on the one thing that is taking up
most of my brain and I talk about it nonstop. #sorrynotsorry
Here are some things I’ve learned the first two months of
2015:
+ Eating clean food for 30 days
is rough but so worth it. I must’ve talked/complained about it a lot
because there are a few people at work who have embarked on the journey after
hearing my nonstop chatter.
+ Ice cream and fries are my stress craving. Hello Oreo malt, nice to
meet you.
+ My brain can hold a lot of information at once. When you are taking
anatomy at UVU (and yes, UVU is much different than the other anatomy programs.
Promise) you are required to memorize a ridiculous amount of material.
Don’t believe me? Well I’ll show you my textbook and then maybe you’ll shut up
about how easy this class is. (I’m talking to you girl in my psychology class)
Let me complain some more, it’s hard.
+ Showering and getting ready for the day have become a rare occurrence.
So rare that today I’ve had four different people ask if I changed my
hair. Here’s my secret: shampoo.
+ 8 year olds are a blast and a handful all in one. I have to hold myself
back to not be irreverent alongside them. Last week I failed and couldn’t
stop giggling.
+ My husband is a champ. He got accepted into BYU! We are very excited
and I’m so proud of him. Also, he deserves a trophy for being my rock and
my sanity.
+ Don’t plan a vacation until you get your husband on your side and there
are no variables in play, or you’ll be disappointed. I had this great
plan to go on a cruise at the end of the semester and once Jake was warming up
to the idea, he became a BYU student and has stupid spring term. Don’t worry,
I’ll be on a mental vacation that week recovering from finals.
+ My midterm is on Saturday. Pro: means I’m more than half way done
with the semester. Con: I have to take my midterm.
+ Laundry can stay in baskets a long time. If you throw your shirt in the
dryer with an ice cube for a few seconds you can’t even tell that the shirt has
been in said basket for weeks. #notimeforlaundry
+ Bones, muscles, joints, eyeball, ear, muscles, heart, nerves, brain,
and how to get the cadaver smell out of your clothes.
+ I thought that our date nights would stop being filled with the grocery
store once the Whole30 was over, but that’s still how it goes. And guess
what? It’s the best date night ever.
+ Living with your best friend is the best thing. Except when they
torture you with freezing feet, constantly scare you, and push you off the
bed. JK. Even those things are a part of the best thing.
+ Things that force you out of your comfort zone change you.
Anatomy and the Whole30 have shown me that. I have decided that as much as
it’s a love/hate relationship, I’m going to continue this trend. I’ll be
taking a hip hop class this summer. Dancing and I are not friends. I feel
self-conscious and uncomfortable. So I’m going to do it. YAY.
+ When the stress of life gets to you and you forget that you are beautiful,
work selfies are totally acceptable to remind yourself that you're a babe.
The messages that are shared are inspired and of God
which we learn in D&C 1:38 when He says, “whether by mine own voice or by
the voice of my servants, it is the same”. I know that when the prophet,
apostles, relief society president, and any other church leader stands at the
pulpit at general conference, they are delivering the messages that God would
share with us if He were here today.
