Last night couldn't have come at a better time. I am apart of a group called Law Partners. It is a group of people (mostly women) who have spouses in law school. We meet up for dinners, and different fun activities. They hold forums where they bring in different people to talk to us. Last night they brought in a Professional Organizer. I almost didn't go, but BOY am I happy I did.
It is exactly what I needed.
As you can see from my previous post, I have been having a hard time keeping up with all my commitments and different things I have to do during the day, as well as things I would like to do. Marie C. Ricks has written several books on organization, and she has a lot of experience going into people's homes and helping them organize their lives.
At first I thought, I know how to organize it is just a matter of doing it. Right? Just DO IT. However there is so much more to it then that! I also learned that you can organize so much more then your home, did you know you can organize your relationships?! I wish I could put in one post everything I learned last night.
All I know is, it was just the boost I needed. I feel ready to get more organized in my life, I feel that need to SIMPLIFY. I need to make my life more simple then it is currently. I have a lot to think about.
Age: 22 Bed size: Queen Chore you hate: Washing the dishes. This might be because Trevor and I didn't have a dishwasher for the first two years of marriage. It sucked. Dogs: I grew up with a Beagle, and I loved her, her name was Bridget. Trevor grew up with a Boxer, and his family now has two of them. We debate all the time over what type of dog to get. I really want a frengle. He just really wants something that is big, haha. We will see what happens! Essential start of your day: I should say breakfast but I always skip that, I should say morning prays, but I am bad at that one too. I guess the most consistent essential part of my day would be a quick morning snuggle with the hubberz... I love those. Favorite color: YELLOW! Gold or silver: I use to always say silver, but gold has its place too. I say don't make me choose! Height: 5'6" Instruments I play (or have played): Well I did played the recorder in 4th grade! haha No but really I actually played the flute from 5th grade to 8th grade. I have been playing the Piano since 5th grade, and officially stopped taking lessons my Senior year. I need to practice more because I have lost a lot of that. Since marrying a guitar player I have learned one song :) I hope to learn more! Job title: I am a Legal Secretary for an attorney here in Provo. Oh and a wife :) Trevor still likes to call me his "girlfriend" though, haha. Kids: Not sure what this means exactly... but yes, I want them? haha Live: Currently.... Provo, UT. But I will claim San Diego/Canada whenever I feel like it. Mom's name: Lisa Nickname: Oh man, are you ready? Belle, Alycia Belle, Leesh, Lee Lee, Sisha, Pumpkin, My little cutie (that's the husbands for me hehe) and Sunshine. Overnight hospital stays: Not yet. Pet peeve: People who crack their knuckles and people who chew with their mouths open! Of course my husband does both. Quote from a movie: I have SO many.... but I have always been touched by the Birthday toast given in one of my all time favorite movies, The Count of Monte Cristo.... Make sure you at least start at the part I am talking about 1:26
"Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine!"
Right or left handed: Choose the RIGHT! Siblings: I have 5 siblings. 2 sisters, and 3 brothers. I am the 4th and am sandwiched in between all the boys! Time you wake up: Depends on the day. Sometime between 7 and 8. Underwear: I wish I didn't have to wear it, haha. That's right for a long time I had the opposite problem of Tobias the Never Nude (Go watch Arrested Development already!) Vegetables you dislike: Squash. I HATE squash. What makes you run late: When I can't find my keys. It happens way too much. X-rays you've had done: Teeth, & my wrist. Yummy food you make: I would like to think everything I make is yummy! haha I don't know. I make a great box of Kraft Mac n Cheese (I don't follow the rules and create my own thing with it. yum) Zoo animal: The San Diego Zoo is the best. I think my fondest memory is seeing the baby Panda that was born. Doesn't get much better then that. Since you don't get to see a baby Panda everyday I would have to say the Hippos, the flamingos, or the Giraffes!
I would love to see you guy's fill this out too :) Happy Hump Day!
Thanks for stopping by! My name is Alycia, and this blog has been such a fun space for me to share everything from the very meaningful, the mundane, and the frivolous stuff that falls inbetween. I guess you could say this is a digital journal of sorts! I believe that life should be enjoyed and celebrated, and invite you to join along in the party! ❤
