Well I can't say that I have always been the most domestic girl/woman. I grew up on a farm, roughin' it with the men and boys. I love and live for hunting and camping. I love aggressive sports, I am a very aggressive driver, I am the least tactful person when it comes to telling someone off, I am a sucker for fast things. I am definitely an adrenaline junkie. Anything that could quite possibly kill me is thrilling. I am obsessed with my dirt bikes. I love and live for being in the outdoors. I love working somedays more then going to church or family activities.... not all the time but definitely some. I get so much satisfaction out of my work. I love my job. I work with a lot of the greatest people you will ever meet at Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem. The BEST hospital!
But I suppose if you think about it, I am helping others all day. How can you not feel great after that? I do love spending time with my family. I have the MOST FUN family ever. Everyone is so outgoing, very relaxed, and can joke about anything, and talk about anything. While most of the girls were helping cook while we were camping, I was with the boys riding and having air soft/ bb gun wars, or going on crazy hikes with my cousin Tanner. We hiked in places we never should have!
When I graduated and moved out, I was all about playing. I knew a few really good recipes that I could whip out on special occasions. Other then that it was always just grabbing some dinner on the run to MX events with the boys. Even going out on lots of dates and going out with all my friends to Sky Box, Asian Star, Rumbi, Cafe Rio, the Red Iguana, or roasting hot dogs at the dunes, etc. I never cooked. Not that I never had a desire to but I was just always so occupied playing. After living in Sandy, I moved in with my Grandma Bean/my 2nd mom. Living with her and seeing her slave over a cooking meal to provide for our X-LARGE family on Sundays became very desirable. I knew I wanted to be just like her. If any of you met my gram... You would LOVE her. She is the MOST DOMESTIC woman around. I am always so amazed by her and how she runs and makes so much time for all of us. And watching grandpa lead everyone in a perfect Christ like example. I knew I wanted a husband just like him. I wanted to be domestic just like grandma and be everyones best friend/mom/grandma that I came in contact with, just like her. All my friends quickly became her other grandchildren. They would just come over and she would make them food and they would grab them drinks and just hang out with grandma and grandpa even when I wasn't home. The love that is always abiding in that home would blow anyone away. Just walk in her front door and feel it for yourself. You will be greeted with the biggest and most SINCERE hug ever. I want to be just like her! Well as I have been married now to the most wonderful and simple man for 4 months now. (Might I add that Brad is the perfect combination of my perfect father and my perfect grandpa Bean, I am married to the most perfect man!!) I have striven to be just like Mrs. Bean. I am no where close to being as domestic, patient, and tactful as she is but I am getting better. :] I love being home and being able to cook good things for Brad. I love when his friends come over and cinnamon rolls are just coming out of the oven and there is enough for all. I am gaining the little satisfactions from things as such. I have always had a big heart, sometimes too big of a heart. I am by far the most protective person over my loved ones. And I see that in my grandma so I know I too can potentially love like she does, so endlessly and without limit!

Well right now I am cooking a 20 hour roast that smells so YUMMY. I woke up in our bedroom downstairs and could smell it cooking up stairs. I added my mushrooms, green pepper, and red onion to it and am now waiting for it to be done. I know a roast... easy right? But sooo good! I am excited to see that it is satisfying to taste. I took a picture of it as you can see above after the first 10 hours when I added things to it. I also made some homemade country ranch dip, props to delectable addictions. It is DELICIOUS. I am loving this new life. I love learning how to balance my wanna be thriller lifestyle with my domestic wife skills and soon to be mother skills. :] So exciting! Although I will say that I am ready for some camping, hunting, and riding.
