Pumping Iron – Slaving over the stacks – Working like a boss – Out on the town - Repeat

Life has taken me to new places in the last few months. Much has changed since I last wrote and for that I am thankful.

I quit my job. Went back to a full time class schedule at the U! Sent the not so little brother off to new lands. Broke up with my boyfriend. Made some new friends. Kissed some new faces and faced old fears.

It's been a great couple of months but what's even more exciting is to look ahead!

Lately my life consists of four main things. Working out, studying, starting a business, and dating like crazy.

Pumping Iron - every single day. Thank heavens I have my trusty side kick Jordyn to hit the gym with. Without her this whole getting in-shape thing would have gone downhill a long time ago but together we prevail and we are now in our third week of the Gold’s Gym Challenge. Yes we actually joined a challenge and have an opportunity to win $500 dollars. On the down side, Gold's has nearly naked photos of me in not so good of shape that they legally own until the end of time and that they can use to do as they please. Not sure $500 is worth that and not sure I even want to win now for fear that these photos might end up in advertisements all over Utah. It's really not the best motivator

School - I love it when I am not in it and then the second class starts I want to die. Last semester was great but this semester is a different story. The classes are brutal and the material is dry. My most interesting class being a statistics class that involves labor economics..... I think that sentence says it all and I didn't even mention the professor is from South Korea so you have no idea what he is saying. Although I think I am his favorite student. He always chooses me when wanting the answers to the most difficult questions. Nothing you can bull shit (my specialty). Even when other people are raising their hands he just a keeps on calling. I am beginning to wonder if he knows any other students names.

Starting a business - my most interesting new venture. I am proud to say that Fearless Self-Defense was established in the state of Utah in December of 2012. We are dedicated to educating and promoting self-defense products and their uses so that if one is in a threatening situation where physical defense is necessary one is able to protect oneself. Lauren (my business partner) and I are very passionate and excited for the great opportunity. You can check us out on Facebook here.

Dating - gives you some interesting stories plus you get to eat at fabulous restaurants twice a week without spending a dime it’s quite the deal. I have been having a ton of fun meeting some really amazing people. There hasn't been too many weirdos thankfully. But what most people ask when I tell them I am dating around is if there is anyone in particular? And the answer is NO. The sad thing is that when I reply with a simple no I get looks comparable to a look you would give an adorable puppy that has just lost a leg or even two. It's not sad, it's beautiful! I know I know all of my friends my age are either married with kids or in very serious relationships heck some have four kids and two divorces under their belt. I am an old hag in Utah standards and I realize this but in the words of Wiz Khalifa "I am young and wild and free" and having fun people so 'no one in particular' is in my future. Even if a Mr. 6'3, ambitious, thoughtful, beard growing, go getting adventure man walked through my door I would still not be ready. I'd just smile and make sure I ordered desert.
