I am needing some help and I figured, why not put it on my blog where I know all of you will give me some feedback! :)
Two items: Healthy Eating and Black under my eyes.
1. Healthy Eating
Back in October of 2009 I joined Golds Gym. I loved the idea of getting in shape and becoming healthier. I have 8 more months left in my membership but have not gotten to where I want to be yet. I have a routine of going to the gym but my eating habits are still the same. I try to eat healthy but it becomes overwhelming and I give up.
What do you do to eat healthy? Have you read a book that has helped with meal plans? I do not want to go on a "diet", I just want to intake healthy foods (that will hopefully help me loose weight). I want to change my lifestyle, diets I think are good while you are in them but once you stop you go right back to where you started.
2. Black under my eyes
If you know me (which I hope most of you do), I ALWAYS look tired! But I promise I'm not! Its those dang black cycles under my eyes. I have tried makeup, putting a mask on my eyes every night, and some cream from Loreil. Have you seen those info commercials for "younger looking eyes"? I thought hey I should try that, maybe that will help but after looking at how much is costs ($69 something) I couldn't fork out that money.
Do any of you have this problem? What have you done for it?
Your comments would be greatly appreciated!

God did an awesome job at creating this land...
Sorry for the lack of posts but now I actually have something to talk about.
This past week I went on a much needed trip to CANCUN, MEXICO! It was AMAZING. Highly recommend it and staying at the Hyatt Regency Hotel (if you can't afford those fancy resorts)
Sorry about the pictures..i am at work and can't figure out how to flip them...
Shannon, Me and Domino on the Beach
Shannon and I right before our Zipling adventure!
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Me, Dom and Shannon in the water. See how clear it is? AMAZING
View from our HotelIt was Amazing there. Awesome food, people and company. If only I could have stayed another week. Plus I got an amazing tan. My legs have not had this much color for at least 5 years (thank you Oakcrest)

I don't know what to name this...
Sometimes I go to write in my blog and I don't get to far because it reminds me of writing a paper... But I will promise to at lest post something today!
I have been applying for jobs right and left but this past week someone finally called me for an interview. I was pretty happy! The interview went really good, I am confident in getting it but not confident...if that makes any sense! I will be the 1st to admit that I am a nosy person, so right when I walked in the interview room, I noticed a paper with all the interviews that they were having that day. I saw over 15 peoples names. I know I am qualified for this job but I also don't know who else they interviewed! I will be happy if I get it but also if I don't it will be A-OK! Its all in Heavenly Fathers hands now and if I am suppose to be there, i will be! Honeyville actually does not want me to get it, they have a full time job waiting for me. I am grateful for that but I figured that i might want to look at other options in my Major. If i were to stay with Honeyville (which i am ok with), it would have nothing to do of why I went to school. So we will see... :)
On a other note, I ran my 1st 5K on Saturday. For like the past 10 million years I have said that I was going to run one but never did. One of my goals in life is to run a marathon and I have to get there someday..why not start with a 5K? I took 313 out of 867 and with my age division 23 out of 63. Pretty happy about that. I told myself that I COULD NOT WALK....but my mind won and i did walk a little bit....But the next one I do...I will be sure to over come my mind! This picture is after...i think i look great.....sarcasm if you didn't get it.. :)
I have been trying to eat better, seeing if i could get off some of my extra, extra pounds off and its been somewhat working. These next two weeks I am cooking dinner every night and yes they are healthy meals! I am excited to have time to cook and maybe even get better at it. So I will keep you up to date on the meals I liked!

Oakcrest (Longest Post Ever)
Thanks Treb for the idea!!
Tomorrow is Oakcrest 2010 1st training. While thinking about this I couldn't help think about the amazing summer I had being Assistant Director this past summer. This was something that was never in my future but I am so grateful that others and the Lord prompted me to apply. It was a great blessing and an experience I will never forget. Now I want to brag about some AMAZING women who made Oakcrest 09 the best!
I look up to these 36 daughters of God. Each one of them have special place in my heart. I enjoyed learning about who they are and seeing who they became as the summer evolved. Things they thought they could never do...they did! Through bratty, winy, trouble maker girls they looked at it as an opportunity to grow and to become closer to their Heavenly Father. I loved watching them with their girls and seeing that LOVE they had for them. Never once did I hear a camper complain about her counselor, and come on who could not love these 36 girls!
I LOVE with all my heart these four girls. I loved being in the craft hut with my cousin and sister and helping them out with gluing flower pins. I loved our Wednesday night talks in my room. I loved having Ace and Red be my doctor. I loved how Red could tell if I was lying about being sick. I loved Aces sweet sweet personality. If I needed any boasting up I could always go to her. They were all Rock Solid.
Oh Sister Treble....Its pretty sad that I don't have any pictures of us together...and this is the only single picture I have you. But I just wanted to say I enjoyed every single Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon with this girl. I couldn't have asked for a better teaching partner. I absolutely loved teaching with her. She loved teaching the girls and I loved hearing her testimony. I loved how she would come with new ideas of what she wanted to teach. Thank you Treb for being one of my rocks!
These AMAZING girls were what made camp! Being in the kitchen for two years I know how hard it can be in their. But these girls pushed through and not only that did more than what was asked of them. They befriended the girls, they had hair days, they had such a spunky fun attitude that helped the staff members. Bubbles and Symphony did an awesome job being Ac's always wanting to make the kitchen a fun place. And the i could tell the Kds looked up to them for that. Plus come on...AMAZING FOOD!!!!
Dont you love this woman?! I sure do. I also love her husband...but sadly I can't find a picture of him. Grams and Gramps were amazing. They are so easy to love. I loved talking with them, loved eating with them and I loved joking around with them. I look up to them as if they were my own grandparents. I could never thank them enough for all they have done for me!
Lastly, I can honestly say I could not be who I am today with out working with these three outstanding girls. With starting in January till August we were with each other 24'7. Plus who couldn't ask for the only best best friends I have now?! I couldn't have asked for a better Directorship to serve with. They taught me a lot on how to have faith in myself but also just having faith it will stop raining :) Feliz (I probably spelled her name wrong..i always do) for her kind hearted loving spirit. For always coming to check on me, when I should have been checking on her. I have never heard her say anything bad about another person. I love her so so much. I am double excited that she will be having her own girls this summer. She is going to be the bomb.com. Domino for always having me on my feet thinking. She can always make me think logical when I am overacting about something. I love talking to her. She is someone who makes me feel like I can do anything and nothing should stop me from doing it. Bunga...oh Bunga. Crazy crazy girl but this crazy girl has the Spirit with her constantly. She ALWAYS knew the right thing to say and I can not tell you how much I have learned for her. She has an amazing path infront of her and I am excited to see what she does with all that energy, craziness, love, and spirit. ( I personally think next General Young Womens President... ) Thank you so so much Bung for being their for me constantly. Thank you for showing me that I can do things. Thank you for LOVING me for me!!

Sweethearts
I was privileged with playing with this sweetheart Friday Night and her brothers! This girl is our new addition to our family. We are actually going to be B.F.F's because she is going to grow up with 3 older brothers to make her life.....lets say...fun :)
This sweetheart is a bundle of JOY! 2nd new addition to our family. I get to see her a lot and each time I do my heart melts. She loves to use her voice and before we know it she will be having a full on conversation with us!
These two girls have been a blessing in our family. I love each one of my nephews but Makaya and I needed some other girls to help us balance out!
This was also on Sarahs Blog and had to post it! It was forever ago and I have to have the best nephew to put a tutu on!

Saturdays Realization
Disclaimer: I will be complaining but I just need to get it out! You don't have to read! But its helping me realize this "Growing Up" process!
I have been working at my job for over two years and have had an amazing boss who supports me. Since December one of the "heads" over the store came and took over. My boss is still great but this lady has more say than he does. Its been hard with her "taking over". I have felt so under-appreciated and I have to watch everything I do so I don't make her mad.
Honeyville has been great at working with my school schedule and giving me as many hours as they can because they know I am a poor college student. When starting Spring Semester this certain lady cut me 5 hours then about 4 weeks ago she cut me another 3 hours. She hired two new managers, one is great but I was cut hours because of the 2nd one. There is no use for this manager. Now this starts why I am writing today. I have never been so poor than I am right now. My checks are getting smaller and smaller. I am not even paying for food or rent and if I was I would be homeless. Today has been hard especially. I am a giver! I love to give! I had a baby shower to attend and I wanted to get the best most useful present but was limited to $10.00 (NOT ME! I LOVE to spend a lot on other people).
As the day has gone on I have been getting more and more frustrated! How do people do this?! Live check to check and no spending money for emergency's or just a night out? Or those who don't even have a job?! This is where I stopped myself. Everyday at my internship I see families like this, just trying to get by. They are doing the best they can to stay afloat for their family. A scripture came to mind, which is Alma 36:3
I need to do what this scripture says. TRUST in GOD. What I am going through is trial and trouble for me but I need to rely on him to be able to get through it. No, I will not be rich once I do, but I know he won't let me fall. I need to budget my money better and spend it on the things I need the most.
Therefore, I am grateful that I have a job that helps me pay for gas, bills, and other items. Even though I cringe just thinking about going back to Honeyville for another work day, I am happy I am employed there! And hopefully another job will be waiting for me when I am done the 2nd week in June!
