20 facts about me!

I was tagged on Instagram to do the 20 facts about me list, and it won't load on Instagram so I'm putting it on my blog since I freaking took the time to write it out with my valuable free time. 😬

Twenty facts about me!

1- When I was younger, I was eating ice cream in my grandparents basement, watching Scamper. I ran upstairs with my glass bowl, slipped on a stair and fell. The bowl hit my front tooth chipping a big chunk out of it. So... My left front tooth is partly fake. 

2- I am currently In a fashion slump. I need the tv show "What not to wear" in my life. Why did they stop :( my sense of fashion is gone and I don't like spending money on myself. (I'd rather buy my girls cute clothes!)

3- I love hiking, boating, camping, swimming.. Basically anything outdoor! Especially in the mountains.

4- I was only 19 when I got married. Everyone thought I was crazy. And in a sense I was.. Crazy in love! :)

5- I'm a registered nurse. I don't currently work as one but I'm licensed as one. I'm considering picking up a part time job. Maybe. I can't decide quite yet. 

6- I have general anxiety. And it's amplified during the first 6 months of postpartum life. So if I seem a little psycho to you that's why! ;) Working out is my diy remedy/cure and it does wonders most of the time. 

7- My heart is so full of happiness and gratitude. I feel so blessed for the life I have! 

8- I have a wonderful husband who I love and who loves me, and 2 sweet little girls who make me happier than anything in the whole wide world.

9- Ice cream also makes me pretty happy. And chocolate. 👍

10- When I was little I wanted to be a mom, and a school teacher. 

11- I love to sing/listen to Disney songs. I think I was meant to be a Disney princess 💁

12- I am part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I have a firm testimony of the gospel. I love it! 

13- I was raised as the oldest of 7 kids and as a high school kid I vowed never to have more than 1 kid. That's obviously changed :) I love my crazy family.

14- I'm a social eater. The more I'm around people the plumper I get :) When I'm alone I don't think much about eating. I should probably work on finding a balance between the two.

15- My worst fears: cliffs, deep water, alligators, crocodiles, sharks, animals with horns, my kids getting kidnapped or hurt, annnnnnd being social 🙅jk

16- I cry easy. The other day Ryan showed me a baby mouse he caught in the attic and was going to kill and I couldn't stop crying the rest of the night... I don't think he'll ever make that mistake again. 

17- I am a neat freak with my home. I love cleaning, I love throwing things away, and I love organizing.

18- I am intimidated by strong, loud personalities. But once (I should probably say IF) I get past that, I end up becoming best friends with them. Opposites attract?

19- My favorite movies as a kid were Buttercream gang, Winnie the Pooh, and any Disney movie. Not much has changed. Sprinkle a handful of chick flicks in the mix and that list remains solid . 👊

20- Someday I'm going to travel the world with my family, eating exotic foods, experiencing other cultures, making a difference in people's lives, and basking on sandy beaches. With my husband and kids around me. That's gonna be good. That's gonna be real good.

You've got better things to do than read this blog post. Trust me.

Gosh, what a stressful couple of weeks it's been.

I've been shoved out of my comfort zone in so many ways. Moving, family get togethers on both Ryan's and my side, visiting friends and family for the last time for awhile, cleaning, packing, orginizing, traveling, planning, blah, blah, blah! 

So. Due to the situation, you guys get a crazy, mental blog post for the day. 

(These are my favorite. When it comes to other people's blogs. Not necessarily when it comes to my own.)

A fun fact (actually its not so fun, to be honest) about me is I have had some serious anxiety lately... ugh. What happened to the calm, cool and collect girl I used to be?

Oh, right. She's been chained up and buried by stress and is nowhere to be seen.

"Poor baby RosaLee," right?

"She's such a whiner." 

That's right. Sometimes I am a whiner.  And sometimes I feel sad. 

And I'm so far from perfect that sometimes i feel that its pretty much a total lost cause.

But you know what? At least I realize that. And I'm working on it. 

But for now, I'm going to complain because quite frankly, life can kick you in the face sometimes. And that hurts. 

And yeah, I know....

"Sometimes it's not all about you."

Brilliant.

But this is my blog so if you don't like reading about me then.... Yeah. Click that little x in the upper right hand corner...

  Anyways, for those of you still tuned in, and on a brighter note; life is a blessing.

Trials and failure build character.

Stepping out of your comfort zone will help you grow and learn how to thrive in the situations your thrown into. Leaving my comfort zone has only lead to good things in my life and awesome progress.

I truly love my life and the people in it and I am eternally grateful for the love I receive from friends and family. 

And through them and through a lot of effort on my part I will find a way to become that collectively relaxed and comfortable person I once was. 

And maybe I'll start yoga or meditating more.

 Or not. 

Wish me luck!  ✌

Facts, statements, Confessions.. ME

Its one of those nights... Ryan's at work. The baby is asleep. Im exhausted but can't sleep. So I blog about myself...  Yeah. I wanna talk about number one. So sue me. ;)
Here are some facts about me!

1) I lose a lot of sleep. I often worry about Emma, so I go in and check on her. A lot.

2)  I am not perfect. I don't have a perfect background and I don't come from a perfect place. When I talk about my accomplishments I'm not trying to put on an heir of perfection. I will never be perfect. But I can sure as heck try to become successful and purposeful. Don't like it? Thats fine. Doesn't bother me.

3) whenever I eat pizza or French fries I use a napkin to dab the grease off. Not only because Im hoping to make it less calorie ha but its just habit. I've done this ever since I was little, always will.

4) I just want to be me. I don't want to be like anyone else. I hate it when people compare me, my baby, my family or anything affiliated with me to others. Hate. It. I do that enough on my own. Its not healthy. I don't need the world doing it too.

5)  I would be lost without the husband and baby. I love both of them with my whole heart. Or, for a more dramatic affect, with every fiber of my being. Ohh I love dramatic statements like that :)

6) I wish I was a Disney princess. Just for a day. I love singing, I love animals, I love dancing through forests (ok... Never actually done that, but I'm assuming it'd be an invigorating experience)
Bliss.

7) I never want to "let myself go" physically. Never. Because I know that I'd eventually be letting myself go emotionally, and then mentally would follow. And possibly spiritually after a while. It's a slippery slope, my friends.

8) I have major personality clashes with very cocky people. Am I cocky? At times perhaps... But people who are cocky all the time just for the sake of it drive me nuts.

There now. You know 8 things about me that you didn't before. Have a nice day!
