It's all about the Symmetry.

I feel like a rabbit, I ate a salad after class for breakfast, it sounded good.
There is a bug that lives in our shower, I've considered naming him.
I may just be obsessed with making pumpkin choco chip cookies.
Last year I didn't talk on the phone much with my parents,
this year I do, and I love it so so so so so much.
The ball is rolling, and it's going pretty fast. 
If that doesn't make me nervous,
I don't know what will!
YIKES!
(Now having said that you can enjoy these lovelies which have nothing to do with what I just said.)

L (to the) iebster!


A LIEBSTER is a German word meaning dearest, sweetest, cutest. The award is given to up-and-coming bloggers with less than 200 followers. 

It happened and I was nominated, twice.. Ha ha! Allie and I were friends in high school, her blog is adorable so go check it out, as well as her and her other half are the cutest! Then there's Jeannie I met her through her younger brother, I have to say that she has the best style! Her blog has always inspired me, whether it be to go running more.. or look at myself with more positive and loving eyes.

Alright all you bloggers/blog readers/admirers/creeps(I say that out of love) here's how it works:
-Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
-Answer the questions the nominator asked, and create 11 questions for your nominees to answer.
-Choose 11 people and link them in your post.
-Go to their page and tell them.
-No tag-backs!

Well let's get started! 11 things about me: 
1. I have a very difficult time making my bed in the morning, I really just Don't like to, ever..
2. I secretly want to be a great photographer today, I love capturing memories and beauty in everyone and everything. 
3. The way to my heart is a combover, dry humor, and TruMoo. 
4. When I was little I refused to wear pants, dresses were all I would wear.
5. My favorite place to be in the fall is Logan, Logan canyon to be more specific.

8. I have always wanted to go to South Africa, it's one of my greatest dreams and has been for quite some time. 
9. I don't like leaving messages.

I find that sometimes at night the words flow a little easier. I used to be so consistent with writing on here that it felt normal, now it seems so foreign to me that I write my thoughts and people actually read them. Someday it'll feel normal again.
I realize that I often write vague excerpts about what I think and feel, I apologize if this sounds alike. I don't mean for this to be the same though. In church on Sunday we had a lesson about Walking in Faith. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that That is what I need to do. It's no use worrying and stressing about the future. Who I'm going to be, who I'll be with, what I'm doing. I took a step back and it became very clear to me. Just like the scripture says, "And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do." This is how I feel. Recently I've been reading my scriptures more, praying more, and really listening for promptings. I know that everything is in His time, we need to be ready to receive anything he hands us. As long as we are able to connect with and communicate with our Father in Heaven we will be led by him and guided in which direction we need to be headed.

Welcome

This, is how we make dinner.


2012-10-07

There'll come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.

Today has seemed emotionally draining to me, I feel raw. This weekend has been good, bad, and all that's in between. It's good to be back in Logan, but I feel I'm needed somewhere else. Or maybe I'd rather be somewhere else. Somewhere, like home.
I've learned that every family has their trials. Whether you See or Know about it, or not. I love my family so much and this weekend that love has grown even more. I pray and fast for them. All of my brothers and Sisters are my very best friends. We have our faults and our struggles, but even in hard times we are able to come together and be there. My parents are incredible. They love us kids and would do anything for us.
I love each and every person in my family. They mean the world to me.
