Til we M E E T again..

I never thought this day would come! I ship out tomorrow to start my new adventure as a nanny! I am so incredibly blessed that I have been given the opportunity to be around the most trusting, energetic, loving, innocent, little spirits for the next year. These past goodbyes have been a lot tougher than I would have ever imagined. To say goodbye to the people you love most is not easy but I know that it's simply a "see you later." I have been blessed with absolutely amazing people in my life and I could not be grateful enough. I will see you all soon and will

miss every single one of you every day. Til we meet again.. :) 

Fourth of July F u n

Nothing means more to me than my awesome family on both sides! This weekend was spent with my day's side of the family cooking out, watching fireworks, go-karting, and spending time with the ones we love most. I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to spend as much time as I get to with my family. You will never be able to switch or get rid of them when you are "fed up." They are by your side through it all. I am grateful for family this Fourth of July. :) 

Welcoming Allen into the Family!

Today my sweet Momma tied the knot! She has been dating her dream guy for about 2 years now and their Wedding Day was one to remember. Lots of unexpected events occurred, but only to test their faith and prepare them for what they may need. It was such a wonderful day full of love, happiness, family, friends, and laughter. I could not be more happy for my mom or be more comforted now that she has a guy to protect and watch over her. Me and my mom have a very special, close relationship that only us two will understand. She is my best friend and has been there for me through absolutely everything. Congratulations mom. And welcome to the family Big Al. XOXO 

Waiting for my B E S T F R I E N D.

My best friend left just over 1 year ago to serve the Lord on a LDS mission in Mississippi. Although I have many close friends that I keep in contact with out serving, lets just say Elder Nick Bradshaw is more than just that. Being a little sophomore in high school I looked up to this cute senior football player a lot. He was such a nice guy and treated everyone around him with so much respect. We became good friends and I watched him graduate and move on with life. By the time I was a Junior things changed. Feelings grew and I was still an immature high school student who didn't know what she wanted. I made cheerleader and thought I was too cool for most people, even Nick.  Everyday I wish I could take back a lot of stupid situations and things said. But, in the long run it helped me figure out me and know what I truly wanted. Elder Bradshaw is out serving our Savior and becoming the man he is supposed to be. Yes, missions are long but, they are so worth the everyday wait. Elder Bradshaw only has 10 months left TODAY and I can't hardly believe it! Missions are truly incredible and I'm so thankful I get the opportunity to hear all these amazing experiences. I would not want him to be anywhere else then where he is and blessing so many lives. I love this Gospel and know God has a unique plan for each and every one of us.  "Goodbyes are not forever, goodbyes are not the end; they simply mean I miss you until we meet again.."
