A Place To Call Home


              For a long time now I have been wanted to start a blog. I am a terrible journal keeper, but long for someplace to share my thoughts and be creative. So I am starting here and now. These are the ramblings of my head and the experiences close to my heart.

I guess I should introduce myself, HI ! I am Alexa & this is my husband Steven. We have been married for a little over a year now. Our story is a long one sooo..I will give you the gist. We met our freshman year of college, we were great "study partners"... if you know what I mean ;). We started really dating a few months later. Steven had the opportunity to serve an LDS mission in Milan, Italy. He left the summer of 2013. I stayed at school for a few more semesters. We faithfully wrote letters to each other every week. I decided to serve a mission for my church as well. I left my mission in the summer of 2014 to Berlin, Germany. Steven and I stopped writing as much. When he got back home to the states in summer '15 we stopped writing altogether. It wasn't until later that fall that we starting communicating again ha. I came home right before Christmas and we hung out a few times. I had no desire to be in Arizona so, I moved to Provo, Utah. I dated aroun...

Have you ever done the hair and ring test? The test will tell you the gender order of your kids, and how many you will have. It's pretty SPOOKY. You get a piece of your own hair and a ring with significant meaning to you. Loop the hair into the ring so that you can dangle it. Starting to the side of your pinky trace the outline of your hand with the ring and trace it back to your pinky. When you get back to your pinky move it to the center of your hand. If the ring sways back and forth its a GIRL, if it moved in a circle its a BOY! My husband and I did the test tonight. Our results were girl, boy, boy. Once you are done having kids the ring just stops. Steven (my husband) did the test 3 separate times each time was the same. It was freaky. We aren't planning on having kids for a few more years but it will be very interesting to see if the test actually works!  -a

Hey Friends,  This has been on my mind for the past year and it is something that I am always actively researching. Birth Control Options.  Whether you are on the pill, mini pill, have a ring, a patch, a shot, sklya mirena, paragaurd, condoms, pull out method. tracking method WHATEVER it maybe I think it is so important for women to be informed  on this subject and in tune to what your body is telling you. When I first got engaged I knew that this was something that I was going to have to do. I had friends who were on the pill in high school for various reasons but my first encounter with birth control was in my early 20's. I talked with my sisters and a few of my friends and for me personally I didn't want to be on the pill, I just didn't think that I would be able to consistently take it and didn't want to worry about whether or not I had forgot a day. Its really because I'm forgetful and lazy, so props to you if that is your method of choice. The next o...
