All Is Well

This last weekend I had the opportunity to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing one of my favorite hymns, "Come Come Ye Saints," and as I was sitting there listening I was overwhelmed with gratitude for a line in the song and a lesson I continue to learn. 

"And should we die, before our journey's through? Happy day, all is well."

How incredible were the early saints of the church? To have the faith to understand that regardless of the situation, when you put your trust in the Lord "all is well." 

My eyes welled up with tears (surprised anyone? yeah I didn't thinks so!) and I thought about all the crazy things that have been on my mind lately and everything that was driving me crazy, stressing me out or making me worried. I thought about the whirlwind of a summer that I have had and about everything that is going to be changing in the next six weeks. And I thought about opportunities missed and opportunities taken. And then I thought of that incredible line; all is well.

All IS well! Because my life is full of some pretty amazing people and things.

Sometimes you have incredible people in your life that love you unconditionally.





Sometimes memories come flooding back and all it takes is a sandwich and a old friend to laugh about all the "remember when's" with.

Sometimes frosty runs and DI golfing can completely make your day.

Sometimes you are lucky enough to have the best job in the whole world.



Sometimes you get to see some of your very best friends get married.



Sometimes you get to meet people who you love simply because your little sister loves them.



And sometimes you get blessed with the greatest family in the world.



"HAPPY DAY, ALL IS WELL!"

Because at the end of the day PEOPLE ARE WHAT MATTER and I have some pretty great people in my life.

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or

Every Day Is A Battle

Every day is a battle. Some days I win and some days I lay my head down at night and think "I will try again tomorrow." Life is hard and it was meant to be that way. But even with that knowledge and understanding it is still sometimes a struggle to get through. I am at the point where everything is bothering me. And it is little stupid things and the worst part is that in the back of my head I know that I am being ridiculous. I know that I am over reacting and that I should not be so irritated by these things. But I am. I am bothered by stupid little things. And I don't really know what to do to make that go away. I don't want to push away these people in my life because they are good people. But at the same time I get so angry when I am there and I just cant figure it out. School is crazy right now, and I just started working again, which is great but also rough because that is one more thing I need to worry about. I have a great group of friends that I love spending
