San Diego: Part One




Spring Break this year was fabulous! I went to San Diego with some wonderful people and it was just lovely. These are all just from the first day we were there!! We drove down in one day, and got in late Sunday night. Monday morning we got up, and headed down to Seaport Village and the pier! I was in heaven! I fell in love with the ocean this past week and want to spend every waking moment there! After the pier (where we saw the huge statute and also there was this guy with all these birds and I held one on my shoulder, which if you know me is a big deal...I hate birds!) we went to La Jolla Cove and saw the sweet sea lions on the beach! There was the funniest guy who ignored the signs and rope and just let his kids run around next to the sea lions...the one little girl had on a cinderella costume...it was all too comical to me. After that we headed down to La Jolla beach and I stood in the ocean for the very first time! Like I said earlier, I am in love! The only downside was that a seagull stole my lunch on the beach. Sad day. That night we met up with some guys that one of my roommates knows and had dinner with them. They were all such gems! After dinner (fish and chips next to the ocean, you cant beat that!) we explored downtown S.D. and it was so fun! Overall I loved it. Which is probably how the rest of my posts will go because I pretty much just soaked in everything like a sponge. It was pretty dang fantastic.

Touched By The Spirit

My cousin Cade had his Missionary Farewell yesterday and I feel so blessed to have been able to attend. First off, he is amazing. He is one of the funniest people I know and he is smart and a musical genius. He is simply his own person and there are endless characteristics/qualities that he possess that I would love to develop in myself. So I mean it is easy to say that I love the kid to death. But he spoke in sacrament meeting and the spirit that he brought was truly inspiring, and stronger than anything I have felt in a long time. It touched my heart. And I knew that he was called of God to serve, that he is worthy to serve, and that he has a testimony of the gospel and our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was such an incredible experience. When he concluded he played an original arrangement of Be Still My Soul on the piano and again the spirit was overwhelming. That is my favorite hymn, and it brings me so much comfort which I coincidentally really needed at that moment. Reminding ...

The Best Is Yet To Come

I absolutely love this quote! I think I have even talked about it before but ohh well. I am so grateful for my life and the people who are in it! I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for a loving Father in Heaven. I will write more later because I don't have much time before conference starts again, but I cant get over how incredibly blessed I am! The best certainly is yet to come!

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...
