We & Serendipity

I don't know where I got this "lovely" trait of mine; however, from the day I was born, all I wanted to do was go-go-go. If I wasn't involved in 3-4 things outside of school, I was too bored with my life. I always needed more. I wanted to accomplish multiple things at one time. A…

I haven't blogged in 2,000 years! Maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but it sure feels like it's been that long. My brain has been so tired, and blogging fell victim to me placing it on the back burner. Before I knew it, hundreds of thousands of millions of words were constantly bizzi…

I'm probably going to spare you the long drawn out repetitive story of my love story. Prior to meeting Trevor, let's just say I got kicked around once or twice, and really lost my self esteem. I will always remember, as a child, a teenager, and even young adult, writing a list of what my p…

I often wonder if many individuals experience the same lightbulb moment as I do when it comes to school and learning. I spent two years at Utah State. I did well in my classes; however, I didn't embrace every second of my schooling and try to soak everything in while learning everything I coul…

I'm always trying to learn to embrace change, especially when the change is something I didn't see coming whatsoever. I'm giggling at my last post simply because it's comical how much has changed in the last few weeks. I'll spare the ridiculously long story and simply state tha…

I worked in online marketing for a little bit over a year. There were some changes that the company was going through that really made me feel uncomfortable. Many people were getting laid off and I wasn't feeling secure. Afraid that I was going to lose my job, I began looking for work. In Dece…

As most of you probably know, Utah is its own little bubble. When Trevor and I moved to Virginia Beach, I sort of enjoyed the atmosphere and the vibe that the area gave me. In Utah, I feel as if people are extremely competitive. I'm not quite sure why that is the case, but it has always bother…

My whole life, up until now, I have had something really bother me. As many of you know, I've grown up in a state where the majority of people are Latter-Day-Saints (Mormons). The thing that would really bother me is when people preached one thing and did another. Most of us call them "Su…

I've always considered myself a "Find Joy in the Journey" kind of girl. Well, I have always strived to live that way. I seem to always look back and think about the incredible moments I have shared with Mr. Schroeder and other loved ones in my life, and wish I would have enjoyed them…

One time, I wrote a post about how marriage is hard. I had so many nice and supportive emails back to me explaining that they felt the same way in their marriage and they are so glad that they weren't alone. Then, I received an email from a girl, with a rebuttal post about how marriage ISN'…

There is something I find sad and devastating about today's world. Divorce. I have seen countless of my friends go through it. Though I do firmly believe there are a few acceptable reasons for divorce, I have to admit that most of the reasons are not valid. At least in my book.
For some strang…

This particular topic is a hard one for me to write. I don't like the topic of inadequacy. Who does? Nobody likes to feel completely alone. Nobody likes to feel inadequate in any subject. For me, I feel ridiculously inadequate with school. I always have. It's interesting; because,well, I v…
