Mother's Day- I love my Mommy :)

Mother's day :) I love my mom so so much. She's so amazing. I couldn't possibly describe how awesome she is over the course of this blog post. But I love her so so much and we had a great Mother's Day. :)
It was pretty fun because all my family was here. At church we needed a big row, and that didn't even hold all of us! Tanner had to sit with another family. I love my brother. I was telling him before church how I had all the sacrament routes memorized because when I was 12 I wanted to know which lucky guy was going to be passing me the sacrament. Haha. He thought that was funny.

At church, one of the sisters with five kids spoke and talked about her crazy last pregnancy. The whole ride home my relatives were asking me for details about everything. I didn't know them though! I went home after sacrament to help make lunch. Oh what an epic lunch it was. It wasn't finished til 3:30. We made homemade mac and cheese, sliders, kabobs, salads, and probably something else. I was in charge of the mac and cheese because I love mac and cheese. My aunt teaches a cooking class so it was pretty awesome to cook with her, I learned a lot.



Poor Ginger. She loves people. Loves everyone who comes over. But she couldn't handle all the people loving her and wanting to see her so she's spent a lot of time in her kennel the past two days, hiding from everyone.


Since we had three birthdays this month, mother's day, and I'm graduating, we got a Costco cake to celebrate! SOOOO GOOOODDD!!!! It's too bad they don't make a cake that says congrats, happy birthday/mother's day on it. Oh well:)

I finally found some time to talk to my one aunt who also had a creative writing major like I'm going to. I love her, she's so cool and shares a love of Johnny Dep. We're both so excited to see Dark Shadows. She told me a lot about acting and why Heath Ledger died and showed me some things she had to do for college. Even more excited now!

 That night, my grandma said she was going to show us the cheapest funnest game ever. You all have a piece of paper and you have to write 1-100 while the person next to you rolls a dice. When they roll a two, they steal the pen from you and start writing. It sounded really easy, but it wasn't. It got a little crazy, everyone was fighting and at one point my grandpa and aunt were both biting my grandma's arm. Yeah, it's no big deal, I have vampire relatives. 














It was a really great mothers day. It was awesome being able to spend it with so many mothers in so many different stages of life. :) I love mother's and I'm so grateful for them. Especially mine.

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
