Upgrade! Kind of.. | #75 - New Phone

75. Get a new phone - DONE 2/7/15

It's weird seeing "Jon Smith". I stopped calling
him just "Jon" around the time we got engaged.
Took me long enough! The phone that I replaced was my very first phone. I got it my senior or junior year of high school. My parents wouldn't let me get one until I had a job and could pay for it myself.

I was so happy to finally have a phone. And I have a lot of good memories with it. It survived a lot of drops and a year of nannying. It also was the phone that I texted Jonathan on...I have tons of pictures on my iPod of texts he sent me. I smiled a lot at my phone :)


After we got married we wanted to get our own phone plan and new phones (he didn't like his phone either, and we needed to be all responsible and stuff). We decided to go with T-Mobile cause it was cheapest, and we switched my brick phone for my first smart phone. They're pretty decent phones...but the camera SUCKS. Just straight up terrible. They were only $50 each though, so I guess we should have figured something would be not very good.

Old phone! New phone!
(Honestly, when we found out we were having a baby, one of my thoughts was "crap, I won't be able to take good pictures of my baby!" So it's possible we'll be getting newer phones in the near future. Is that a silly reason to get a new phone?)

The Me Monthly - Volume 1

By -

I want to break these monthly update posts into sections. This is probably kind of overkill, but I think it will help to give me direction and I feel like it will be easier for me too. If I finish a goal, I'll still do a separate post for it within the week I finish it (hopefully). ME THIS MONTH I'm thinking I'll use this section to give highlights from the month that aren't list-related. Maybe I'll share some favorites of the month, some fun things I've done, or some thoughts I have about my progress. July has been quite eventful! We spent lots of time with friends and family, and had a few big, one-day events that required extra time beforehand for planning and stuff. The week of the 16th was especially busy. I'm one of the Webelos leaders in my ward and there was a day camp on the 17th. It featured a 3 mile hike where the first mile was almost entirely uphill (my knees and I nearly died), and I brushed up on my first aid knowledge (no more breaths

Completed - Words to Famous People

By -
36. Prepare something I would say to 3-5 famous people I would like to meet (10/10/19) For this, I really had to think about who I thought was "famous". I ended up picking three people/groups that have affected me a lot, while most might not think of them as famous. I chose Shannon Hale (my favorite author), Rhett and Link (my favorite YouTubers), and The Arcadian Wild (one of my new favorite bands). I'm not going to put exactly what I wrote/prepared for them here, but I was able to actually "tell" two of them the things I wanted to say! I sent an Instagram message to The Arcadian Wild, essentially saying thank you for their lyrics and music. When I was introduced to them, their lyrics made such a huge impact on me and just made me feel seen and safe and so happy. For Shannon Hale, I wrote her a thank you card! I was able to hear her speak, but figured I wouldn't be able to actually talk with her. When I got to the "photo-op" portion I just h

Completed - 2 Meals per Week

55. For one month, plan and make at least 2 meals/week (9/7/2017) For our whole marriage I've been really bad at planning meals and making healthy dinners. We usually eat terribly. But I want to change that! So during the first weekend of August I planned about seven meals and did some major grocery shopping. I later came up with a few more. These are the meals I planned and the weeks I made them: Week of August 6th - Chicken & Broccoli Casserole, Chili & Cornbread Week of August 13th - Salisbury Steak, Chicken Taquitos Week of August 20th - Rainbow Wraps, Italian Dressing Pasta Week of August 27th - Mock Tacos, Oven Baked Chicken Week of September 3rd - Chicken Burritos, BLTs (There were a few small meals that I "planned," like I decided the night before that I was going to make Mac & Cheese the next day, but I didn't keep track of those. Obviously.) A few things that helped this goal go smoother: - Shredding chicken in the crock pot an
