NEW YEAR! NEW ME!

This last year I had the titles fiance, bride, wife, swimming teacher, student, sister in-law, daughter in-law, videographer, and so much more! What a year!! I can't wait for my title of a mother! eeek. It literally gets me giddy! I was one of those girls that always had blankets or a baby doll stuffed in my shirt as a kid and my sister would always be my OB. My bed always had a certain baby doll in it sleeping next to me and I loved having a little baby to carry around. My DREAM was to become a mom one day and I still feel like I am dreaming. I also am so excited to have the title of a Maven for the amazing company Albion Fit for a few months! I have loved their company and I am excited to represent them and what they stand for. I am excited to see what other titles this year will bring for both me and my husband.
I was thinking about last years New Year's Resolutions and I always feel like I create a list of like 30 things and would then forget about it and so this year I am going to make it a little more simple. I read about our personal 5 dimensions of health and wellness and wanted to create a simple goal to focus on from each dimension and to work on balancing each one the best I can.
Physical Goal: Listen to my body while working out and do active things that I love to do.
Mental Goal: Start the habit of putting things away like dishes/clothes around the house to keep the house clean.
Social Goal: Expand more with videography and always make an effort to reach out to friends and family
Emotional Goal: Fully love my body and not compare to other people. I also want to keep the habit of journaling
Spiritual Goal: Attend the temple more often by volunteering or making a secure plan.
Something I want to learn: being a mother/cutting boy's hair
Something I want to expand on: Cooking and videography
Most importantly, let this year be about JOY!! I don't want to let the little things cause me unhappiness. I wan't to work on finding joy in every little aspect because you always can find something good in a situation or something to be grateful for! Let's make 2018 the best year yet!

Welcome Home Sister Hickenlooper

I looove videoing and showing life's greatest moments. I recently was able to video cute Paige Hickenlooper's homecoming. It was so fun to see these amazing moments through a lens of a camera. Let me know if you want to see more or if you would like me to do a video for you!

Temple Square

Me and Jaydon held hands for the first time in 2013 when we went and saw the temple square lights on a date. It was a great excuse because our hands were cold. I have loved going and seeing the lights and seeing the beautiful temple that we were sealed in. This year we went once with my cousins and then another time with some friends. 

Christmas at the Ryans

This year was so fun being able to start new traditions as a small family! I also got so giddy decorating the house for christmas. Me and Jaydon slept by the tree on christmas eve and read the christmas story together. It was so fun sharing christmas with him as a married couple. I also participated in the Light the World challenge for the church and was soo amazed by how many little service opportunities came up for me to do. I would pray that I would find opportunities to help others and then I would watch the video and read the scripture. I loved doing this and loved seeing the whole world participate in different things to help "Light the World"

Happy Engagement Anniversary!

1 year people since I got engaged to my best friend!! We had no clue that we would be holding a baby in our next year Christmas picture but cannot wait! This adventure has been amazing from learning how to cook to realizing that I have the most amazing husband. I would talk more about this year but thought that this video would help put in words my thoughts and feelings from this year. Enjoy,
