Day #4 Bff's

Pictures of my best friends!
I do not have one best friend, I feel so truly blessed to have had great friends throughout my life. Although some of my friends I don't see much anymore I remember those days when you could not find us apart, When we would talk on the phone for hours, and we were just two peas in a pod. Here is a shout out to all my Best Friends of the past, present, and ..... future? maybe haha

Ok I went a little overboard but I love all my friends!

I love you all

I miss some of you way too much

You have all changed my life in some way or another and I will be forever grateful for you

You know you can call me anytime for anything

Love you all 

I feel so lucky to be so close in age with my sisters. For 3 months out of the year we are only a year apart. Ex: This year we will be 23, 24, and 25

I love them and they are def. my best friends

Roommates! Some of the best friends I will ever have! College days were the best staying up to all hours of the night :)

Trouble! Oh the wonderful high school days. Getting into trouble and figuring out who we were, but we did it we graduated, almost 5 years now crazy!

The best two Mal's in the world!

Tori and her green triangle sheets

Miss the softball days for sure!

I never knew I would make such good friend in a ward, these girls are the greatest blessing in my life. They are dropping like flies and getting married but I love you all!

We always have fun!

My family is the best friends I could ask for

Best Friends For Life

Day # 3

My Idea Of The Perfect Date

Pick me up

Open my door

Have a plan

Be confident in his plan

Do something different

Take me somewhere new

I am a pretty simple girl

I love food, I love the outdoors, and I love spontaneity

As long as he is a gentleman and is into me that is my definition of perfect for a first date at least.

Now if we are talking I am madly in love dream date

Horseback riding on the beach

Followed by dinner on the beach

My kind of perfect

Day 2

Day #2

Post a picture of something you ate today

So it took me a while to post day #2 but I will finish this challenge!
One of my goals this year, of course is to lose weight and I have one of these after every workout :)

Protein Shake

They are so good and not very many calories, So refreshing its my dessert for the day. I recommend chocolate flavor, with strawberries and ice So so yummy! Lets hope this helps shed the pounds! :)

Tomorrow is a day I am fearing! About a year ago I bought some training sessions with a trainer at my gym. I wanted to get all in shape for the big day! But after every thing went down I kind of lost my inspirations. I ended up gaining weight instead of losing it. So I have been trying to lose the weight before I started my sessions but it just wasn't working out so I decided to just go ahead and do it. So for the next 5 weeks I will be working with big man Presley, a very large black man that is in the best shape I have ever seen. His words were "I am not going to go easy on you, I know you can do it and we need to get this weight off as soon as possible. You are a beautiful young lady and I want you to see results."

Therefore I hope you see why I am scared. Tomorrow is Day 1 of training with Presley. AHHHHHHHHHH
I am so excited, I have been running at least two miles a day ( I know thats not a lot for all you marathon runners but its good for me) haha.....  along with other things and I have been trying to prepare but lets just face it. I am so out of shape that I know I am going to die tomorrow. Wish me luck! Now I don't want to turn this into a fitness blog or anything but I def. want to share my results. Also I want to share tips with anyone who is interested, (although I know Im not skinny I do know how to get skinny) so I will put things here on there about my progress and what I can offer for all of you. Most of this comes from the advice Presley gives me. I mean he isn't just one of those people that just says he is a trainer. He as all the classes and certifications you could get, he also does competitions that a based on how he looks. He says give me a date and tell me to look a certain way and he will get there. He is awesome! 

So my first tip:

Tip #1
Don't eat fruit after your meal eat it on an empty stomach. I mean yes fruit is healthy but if you want to get the most out of it with how it digests, eat it before you eat a meal.

Tip #2
When you eat almonds try and chew them as many times as you can, maybe anywhere from 20 to 40 chews it helps as an appetite supressant. Almonds are a great healthy snack, but make sure you count how many you eat they are a lot of calories and if you just eat them out of the jar you may eat 30 before you even know it! I try and eat 10 - 15 and I could probably cut down on that.

Well if you think what I say is bogus thats fine but I hope as the weeks go on I can start to see some results and share some fun tips with all of you!

Day 1

My day

Well with it being a new year, I realize that

I Believe....

That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

It's been a really rough day but I want to be positive.

The highlight of my day was

Because of Shae (pictured above)

I have had a poster of Justin Bieber on my wall for about 6 months now. He is the last thing I see every night before I go to bed. He even signed the poster, it reads;

"Natacia will you be my shorty"

Therefore I can not wait to go see his new movie with Shae.He is going to rock our world!  

Bieber Fever

On an even happier note, Emily and Shaun got married yesterday. I have no idea why I didn't take any pictures of them. They are such a beautiful couple and I couldn't be more happy for them. Trev was a champ and came to the wedding with me.

After the wedding we had a Kinect party and Kal and Taylor's. Once again I have NO idea why I didn't take pictures because it was the most halarious thing ever. Watching the boys dance battle was the best~! I did knock Trevor out at boxing, but then he destroyed me at track and field. We had so much fun, and I am so happy I got Trevor the Kinect for Christmas because now we can go buy our new favorite games! That was my weekend :) Now I have to work the worst night of the week to work... Saturday night :( I hope everyone else enjoys their saturday night! Although I am very grateful to have a job and I love all the kids and once I am there I will have a wonderful night! I am proud to say I have 2 post's in the new year already it is going to be a great blogging year I just know it!

Winter Holidays

Happy Holidays

These are all things I did not blog about this winter. Winter is cold, and I always want to snuggle up and watch movies with my free time, not blog. Anyway they are NOT in order but since the first snow fall to now these are things I would have blogged about :)

Christmas Tree Shopping

Alicia's Baby Shower

It was a lot of fun and we had a great turn out. Everyone was so helpful and it turned out really great! We can't wait for baby Madeline to get here.

College Gameday and many Utah games with Kalyn, she was so nice to let me use her husbands tickets when he was working, which was every game. It was such a blast!

GO UTES!

Zoo Lights, and hanging with my nieces and nephew! They bring so much joy to our family, I love them so much!

Many date nights with Trev :)

Halloween

Haunted House

Carving Pumpkins

Cowboys and Indian's Dance with SIGMA

Girls Day out with Bella was quite the adventure. A boy pushed her off the slide and it was a really scary moment, she fell on her head. She seemed to be ok after I got her Ice-cream and a princess from the Disney store. She is so much fun and is so sweet. I  was actually telling her how stupid the boy was for pusing her off the slide and she said "Tossy we don't say that word" haha she even keeps me in line! I love her so much!

Game nights lately have been so much fun! Sometimes it's with my parents or all of our friends and they are so much fun. I have to keep on record that Mallory and I DESTROYED Trevor and Pete at Catch Phrase,

We won 6 Games they won 1 game

Girls nights out..... Birthday Dinner's

Our Annual Christmas Party

Fun Chrismas activities such as;

Temple Square lights and making gingerbread houses

Mallory and Pete throw the best parties! This is a new tradition that she started an ugly sweater party!

Hopefully next year I will be able to host it so Mal doesn't have to do all the work, I am sure grateful she is willing too though.

Such a fun group of friends!

I sure am grateful to have such a fun group to hang out with and have fun parties with. They are all so much fun and so festive, we all get into it and that is the best part!
