We & Serendipity

Last April, I posted a little clip of a prank I played on Mr. Schroeder. I poured some cold water on him while he was showering. Fast forward to ALMOST a year, and I'm realizing that that may have been my best prank yet. That didn't settle right with me. I mean, when Trev comes home from w…

At this particular moment, I am feeling nothing shy of blessed. As I mentioned previously, I got let go of my job. Exactly three weeks later, I got a strike of luck. After being let go, I began applying for jobs. MANY jobs. I applied at Zions Bank for a teller position (realizing I couldn't be…

This week, I found myself raising my eyebrows when I read a question from a reader who preferred to stay anonymous. It was a different kind of question -- it was more personal and dear to my heart. I was flattered that this individual asked me and I'm happy to answer it the best possible way I…

This week, a reader asked this question:  "What are temple clothes? And why do you wear them? WHEN do you wear them?"

I am going to do my absolute best to answer this question! So...if you've ever seen a Mormon entering or exiting a temple, they're probably carrying a little shoul…

I usually don't like to write or talk about this particular topic because sometimes, it makes me feel like I'm a fence-sitter myself. By fence-sitting, I'm talking about religion. I'm talking about being a better person and following God.


Particularly in Utah, there are a lot of in…

There's some nights, maybe once every other month, where I stay up later than Mr. Schroeder and just think. I'll turn on some music, sit back, relax, and just think. This is SO simple. But I keep asking myself! Why am I so worried about my friends? Why am I so worried about if people feel …

I was taking a small break from blogging during the holidays and I didn't receive a question for a few weeks. I was impressed to write this post due to questions from one of my favorite ladies ever, Michelle Money. She was asking many questions on her Facebook regarding the Mormon church. My …

I'm pretty sure that Mr. Schroeder has a sleep disorder. Ever since we got married, Trev can fall asleep ALMOST anywhere. He wakes up feeling like he didn't get any sleep. We think it's a condition called sleep apnea but we are still waiting on his test results. Though the disorder, or…

When Mr. Schroeder and I first met, I thought we were on the same page with every single thing. We like the same things, we come from a family who shares the love of the gospel, we both love to laugh and act silly. I was constantly thinking, "What in the crap are our differences? Do we even h…

I keep asking myself, "How many times am I going to need to write about my friend situation until I'm good?"  I have wrote about my friends here, here, here and here. I keep finding myself craving for a second to write about this yet again. I suppose I'm not finished yet. In this…

I wrote about my little nephew that was born 10 weeks early here. And I have to update, because I have lovely lovely people asking me about him. Easton is doing AWESOME! He's gained weight, learned to breathe on his own, suck, and swallow. It's so exciting and a super miracle. My sister go…
