SOOO today, today was a miracle.

This girl got to sleep in, although 8 o'clock is not that big of a deal, to me... it is.

I woke up and made myself a strawberry banana smoothie

I was able to read mydaily dose of scriptures, which is always my favorite part of any day

It was so warm and sunny today

I got to help Sister Stringham clean her house and then...

WE CANNED PEACHES!

It was the epitome of fall, I LOVE fall

I made rice krispy treats... with Halloween colored m&m's. So festive

I showered. If you don't know me well, that is a big deal. I had been trying to fit it in... finally, today the shower happened.

I picked up my little sister from coming home from Dixie. I haven't seen her since August 13th. That is along time. Me and her got real close this past summer, love her. So happy.

I did my hair. My hair only gets done on Sundays, because I have time....so my hair is straight right now.

I took my dog Saide on a walk. While on the walk I enjoyed the perfect fall night.

Sarah Martin was waiting on my love sac when I got home and we ate frozen yogurt. I LOVE FRO YO and Sarah. She seriously made my day.

I talked to the most beautiful Jordan Boone on the phone. She is the absolute best woman ever and SHE'S GETTING MARRIED. I hope that wasn't a secret. Seeing as my blog gets read by... me :) I decided it was ok.

The wind was blowing tonight and the stars were out.

I am surrounded by AMAZING people. I love my parents and love the fact that my life is SO funny right now. Life is funny, I am embracing it. LOVE LIFE.



This Life of Mine. It's mine.

So this one time, today, I witnessed miracles happen in the course of my day.

I was at work at Gold's Gym- where I babysit 30 wailing children. 

 I was holding a screaming child and remembered what I was doing a year ago today. I was at Snow College, I loved Snow, but I didn't enjoy myself while I was there. And I was also not enjoying myself at work. So, I decided my life's motto for the next few months..."There is no place i'd rather be". At that time in my life, at the daycare, I decided that there is no other place i'd rather be. And do you know what, I enjoyed myself. I was able to look up from myself and enjoy the people I was around.

Then I went to the cutest girl ever's baby shower. I met her at work and decided that I want to be like her. She is really good at being people's friend, I love it. I went with Miss Eliza Wilson. She is the best. We had a really good conversation and I am really glad she graced me with her presence today. She was sharing with me frustrations in life, and suprisingly, we have some of the same. She was talking about loving who you are and being 100% content with how life is right now. Just knowing that Heavenly Father loves you and is aware of you is enough. Although you may not live where you want or have all the friends you want or the degree in school yet or have a boyfriend :)  Being 100% happy with what you have and who you are is the only thing that matters. That shows complete trust and faith and grattitude and love...need I go on?? I loved it and her!!

Then I went to work and got to see a little bit of the John Schmidt concert with the lovely Sarah Tullis afterwards. Today was great.

This week Hannah Braeggar answered a prayer. She was there for me and said things I needed to hear.

Elizabeth Doxey met me for lunch on Tuesday and she is the absolute best. She is the greatest example to me. She is going on her mission in October to Peru. I am grateful for the conversations.

Going to the Gym was also my friend this week, it is a place I go and feel so much better when I leave- plus there are benefits :)

No one else can live my life for me. No one else has my life. Comparing my life and myself to others....gets me nowhere fast. I would prove to be the most ungrateful person if I did not live my life with the highest respect for the people around me with joy and happiness.

I love how it feels like fall. I love that I live with my great family. I love that I work at Thanksgiving Point. I love the awesomeness of my singles ward. I love all my friends. I love everything that makes people real. I love life. Although it is far from perfect and far from what I imagined- there is no place else I'd rather be.

What are words.

Watch this music video. It is so inspiring to me. What are words if you really don't mean them? It helped me realize the importance other people and relationships are to me in my life. The true importance of other people and how I can let them influence my life. Thank you Chris Medina for this inpirational song :)
