Not only was the show fantastic and the cast extremely talented, but I had the best time with my siblings and loved being able to escape the stress and heaviness that I’ve been feeling over the last few weeks. I do not take my relationships with my three younger siblings for granted. I’m so extremely lucky to be so close to them and grateful to have them to lean on. We laughed until we cried, we sang along, and we recounted the memories of our middle school doing this play years ago. Moments of joy. I’m clinging to them and they carry me through. 10/10 recommend checking out Guys and Dolls if you need an escape from life for a few hours. It’s seriously so well done. #gifted #heytherechelsie #myvibrantlife #halecentretheatre #guysanddolls #utahtheatre #momentsofjoy #thingstodoinutah #utahunique

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for Your m Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for Your messages, your love, your texts, and your sweet gifts. We are humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love we’ve received and words cannot begin to describe how much it has helped us feel not so alone. I know I haven’t gotten back to everyone yet, but know that we’ve seen and read every message. We’re still processing the life-changing, devastating news we received last week, but we’re doing our best to find pockets of peace and moments of joy. We’re clinging to each other and to our families (both of our parents, by some tender mercy, already had plans to fly out for this weekend.) We’re doing our best to smile between our tears. I can’t say it’s okay yet, but I can say we will rise to meet this challenge, together. #heytherechelsie #myvibrantlife #balloonfestival #freedomfest #ttccommunity #ttcjourney #ttcaftermiscarriage #infertilityawareness #infertilitysucks #infertilitysupport #infertilitywarrior

Yesterday was the first day in five days that I fe Yesterday was the first day in five days that I felt well enough (physically and mentally) to get out of bed. I did a small spin on the bike. I put some makeup on. I got dressed in a comfy but cute outfit. I curled my hair. I listened to some good music. I ate fruits and veggies and a couple sweet treats. I showed up for myself. It’s hard, at times, to want to show up for myself, when so much feels out of control. But I’ve learned that these simple things - like getting out of bed and getting dressed and eating an apple - can make a huge difference in my ability to keep pushing forward during hard times. These simple motions remind me that I’m still worthy, still capable, and still brave, regardless of my ability to get pregnant. So I show up for myself, even when it’s hard and even when I don’t want to. I fight to show up - and I press on. #heytherechelsie #myvibrantlife #ttccommunity #ttcsupport #infertilityawareness #infertilitysucks #infertilitywarrior #ttcaftermiscarriage #iui #infertilitytreatment #selfcareroutine

What’s Up Wednesday-Birthday Edition

It’s time for my favorite mid-week link-up! I’m so excited to be co-hosting again this week! Be sure to check out Ashley, Shannon and Katie who are the regular hosts and drop your link down in the bottom so I can make new friends! If you are new to What’s Up Wednesday, you can get the rules and questions here! Today is the best What’s Up Wednesday ever, because it’s my 25th birthday!!

What I loved about this past week: My pre-birthday weekend! Dustin outdid himself by surprising me with my dream car on Saturday morning for the whole weekend; a Camero! I’ve been obsessed with Cameros since the first Transformer movie came out and it’s been on my 101 in 1001 list to drive one! We spent Saturday morning hiking with Rosie and her boyfriend, Max who we were watching for the weekend. Then, we took the Camero to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which is one of the most magical and beautiful places in the country. We walked through art galleries, ate ice cream, looked at expensive fossils, and went moose watching!

Jackson Hole WY // Life with Rosie

What I’m Looking Forward To: We are MOVING to CALIFORNIA in a WEEK and a HALF! Goodbye snowy Idaho, hello California sunshine!

My Latest Obsession: My new 50mm lens my parents got me for my birthday! It’s AMAZING! I seriously cannot stop taking pictures with it; the ability to shoot at a 1.8 aperture setting (helps with your depth of field) is opening so many new options up for my photography! Here are some of the first shots I took with my new lens!
What I’m Watching: The Kiera Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice. I seriously could watch this movie every day and never get tired of it. The cinematography is the most stunning work I’ve ever seen.

What I’m Listening To: Fourth of July by Fallout Boy. This song gets me moving every morning I can’t find the will to get out of bed to go to the gym. I am loving their new stuff

What I’m Craving: Bushman’s Fried ‘Shrooms from Outback! I’m getting them tonight for my birthday dinner! Hooray!

What’s up with you this Wednesday? Be sure to add your link below!
