Springin' into Memories!

Hello, so it is the end of another month, which as I am sure you can guess means another month full of memories to report! :) ( I don't know if Springin' is a word, but it matched the theme of my titles so I went with it! haha) I can't believe March is already over, I feel like I just wrote about February not too long ago. [Although time seems to be flying by in "barbie blog land" school seems to be dragging for me this semester. I feel like I should have been done with these classes ages ago!] This month I don't feel like had as many large exciting events, and if you aren't in school some of the events I am going to discuss won't seem that important, but trust me they are! haha!!

Okay to start this month off I went to a shoulder specialist, FINALLY!!! I was terrified! I am not big on doctors and going to see a new doctor I have never met before was not top on my list. But I was a big girl and did it anyways. I am so excited to, be seeing a specialist, I am hoping it helps the process move along! So funny story when I was in there, a nurse takes me to the little room. She tells me I am going to get x-rays done so I need to undress and put on this robe. I do as told and go get the x-rays. I am taken back to the room, and told to change back into my clothes and then the doctor will come in...... I am not even fully dressed when this guy walks in. [remember I have never met this doctor so I don't have a clue what he looks like], so I am frantically throwing my clothes on! [now I don't know about you but I would assume it is common sense, if you walk in on someone you say "oh sorry, and shut the door".... not this guy he slowly walks in and takes a seat.] So my first meeting of my doctor was quite the adventure. But we talked and he signed me up for physical therapy!

Then March 8th hit! The last day before spring break... and has any student would know this day is torture because all you can think about is your break! And of course the Accounting professors decide that means test day. So I had an Intermediate Two and Corporate Taxation Exams both that day! I was so stressed, it was so hard to decide which one to study when, and how to even study for them. So I left that day thinking well I hope I didn't fail........ drum roll..... I got 92% on one and 90% on the other!!!! I wish I had a picture to show you of my face when I saw the scores, I was so so excited!!!!

VOCAL POINT!!! Okay so any of you that watched the Sing-Off or are from Utah County probably know who Vocal Point is... if you do not then you are missing out, and i highly recommend you looking them up. My  mom got tickets to see them live. It was a fantastic show! I loved getting to hear all the amazing things they can do with their voices, it  was fun for me to see all the different parts and roles each of them do. The beat-boxer was incredible, I can't even explain all the different noises he can make, let alone all the ones he can make at the same time! Hearing them sing, made me miss the days in life where I had time to just sit in my room and sing my little heart out, or the plays I was involved in, or the choirs I loved so dearly! Singing used to be my everything, and my way to express myself... that has dwindled slowly sense I have come to college, and I have truly missed it this year! [So new goal... sing loud and proud, and sing more often! :) I know really challenging goal] That weekend was Brit's birthday so it was fun to be home for that, and get to celebrate it with her and my family at dinner and playing games!

SpRinG BrEaK!!! (haha) Okay so spring break was such an amazing break from school! I worked all week on my online class trying to complete the class within the week... that didn't happen but I currently only need to take the final which I can take whenever I want and then the class is finished! :) I worked ever single day over spring break! It ended up being so great, I loved actually getting to be a the store and make progress on a lot of the different projects that needed to get done. It was also fun to get to work with people that I never get to see. I most definitely live to work than work to live. (I mean right now in my life I wouldn't survive without working, but I love working I always have, I love managing thing, doing projects and seeing progress in something)

My family!!! 






So this is what happens when you finally get a Brother! 
(Which by the way I have one of the best ones!) 




Kimberly Marie Labrum!! 




My Second ALL Girl Family!! 












The first Aggie Win of the Season!!! I Love being an Aggie!! 




Guess What?? You should all be so proud of me! Sterling took me to see my very first Jazz game! It was a terrific game, we played Thunder and WON! It was so much fun, so thank you Sterling! Later that week was the Spring Scrapbooking Expo! It was a blast and also some of the longest days ever! haha, I felt like I had a smile glued on my face every time a customer walked by. Thursday I didn't get to bed til one, woke up at five. We left the expo at midnight and then came home and designed and put together three more packets until two am, because we had sold out of so many things. We then left for the expo again at seven the next day and didn't get home and asleep til later that night again. So I really enjoyed being able to spend time with my family and support my mom on her amazing talents. By the way if you haven't looked at how cool the pages my mom designs are go to www.myscrapbookzone.com they are so so fun! If you don't scrap book these pages will make you want to start! :) Oh P.s. the day before the expo I took a cost exam... and after he threw out some questions I ended up with an 84%!!!! I was so so happy, that was an incredible score for a cost test! Some how I did amazing on all my tests in March, it was most definitely a lucky month for me! Maybe I am Irish or something! ;)

Mondays are some of the craziest days of the week. I work, homework, fhe, meetings usually and much much more. This last monday we officially signed for our summer contracts we move in May 7th!!! I can't even begin to explain my excitement! May's blog will most definitely have tons of pictures of our new place. At FHE that monday we did a picture scavenger hunt, my team won some of the prizes... we seriously got one of the best prizes you could get! ......drum roll.... we won some little water guns! And boy do we love them so! We had a full on water fight in the middle of our house! :) As water is flying every where Megan G. is screaming "We probably shouldn't be doing this in the house!!!" but we don't even slow down we are running, screaming and spraying as fast as ever. Then Megan T. Screams "AAAHH! We don't even have any paper towels to clean this up!!!" Did  that stop us? haha nope I think not! We played and played until we were all wet enough that we had to stop or our gun had run out of water! I love my roommates so so very much! They seriously help me survive everyday in this craziness we call our lives of school and work and trying to have a life! haha!

Anyways, this month kind of had a bunch more tiny random memories than anything else but it was still a terrific month! I am doing everything I can to follow the quote on January's memories! I love my life and I know that each day can bring something new!! :)

" Life is like walking through wet cement. Anywhere you go, anything you do, you're going to leave a mark so we might as well make it a mark we are proud to call our own!!! "
