What Am I Doing?

What am I doing here? That seems to be the question I MUST answer in my life because I always seem to find myself wondering what the answer is. Until I figure it out I guess I will just continue doing what I am doing. Time will bring answers, of this I am convinced!:)

Summer is weird because my sense of time seems to slip away. It seems like school has been out for forever, when really it's only been a week or so. It seems like my life has sort of stopped, while everyone else is still moving on towards whatever it is they are working towards. I feel like I am watching everyone else live their lives, grow and progress, go on adventures, and experience new things, while I sit on the other side of the glass, waiting for my turn. 
Don't get me wrong, I still think I am right where I need to be right now. And I am thoroughly enjoying having the time to stop and smell the roses...or in my case...read books and take naps whenever I want too!:)
I think it simply goes back to that question of why. Why is this where I need to be, and if so why aren't things working out? If not for those things, then what? It's definitely something to think about, and something I do think about quite a bit, between those naps I love so much.

Ps.
This is the view from my window:) I'm pretty much in love.
Reading under this guy might be one of my favorite things.


I started running again this week. Getting ready to run a half marathon that seems like it is years away. I am so sore. I have to get past this first week or two and I think if I can do that I can get through. Or maybe this will be the summer of being sore.

IT'S THE SUMMER OF BASEBALL!
My cousin is such a stud and I love love love watching him being such a stud, on and off the ball field. He's pretty impressive, not gonna lie. This summer will be filled with baseball games (and basketball games) and I am pretty excited to be his biggest fan and embarrass him in front of all his friends! I am such a good cousin, aren't I?


Also, I miss these sillies...quite a bit actually!




(Ohh not only do I miss these two...but these crazies are finally engaged:) Excited to welcome Jordan into the family and so extremely happy for my dear sister! Love them both!)

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. ...
