Dear ___________, Thanks For Teaching Me.

Dear Friend,
Thanks for teaching me that I am stronger than I think.
And that it is okay to take walls down.
That it's good to give people second chances.
But it's also okay to stand up for what you deserve.

Dear Kindred Soul,
Thanks for teaching me that life happens when you least expect it.
That the best way to live is fully, and that there are people
that understand everything going on around me.

Dear Brown Eyes,
Thanks for teaching me that I will do ANYTHING and
drop ANYTHING for those I love. That with everything I do, I am all in!
That to be loved by me is kind of
a special thing and that I have a lot to give.
Thanks for teaching me that sometimes that means putting
my own feelings to the side a little bit,
so that I can help those I love.

Dear EpicWin,
Thanks for teaching me how to be brave.
For teaching me that a different path doesn't mean a wrong path. That picking yourself up and moving forward is one of the best feelings.
And that it's often necessary to take a leap of faith!
I will always love and be grateful for you.

Dear You,
Thanks for teaching me that it's okay to rant sometimes.
It's okay to be upset sometimes.
And it's okay that I am a baby and cry when I am feeling strong emotions.
Thanks for also teaching me to laugh at myself.
To enjoy all that I do, to be spontaneous and to live for me.
You're another one I will forever love and abe grateful for.

Dear New Friend,
Thanks for re-teaching me what it's like to discover something new.
For teaching me to be open minded, and reminding me what
it is like to be in uncharted territory.
I hope this new friendship turns into an old one.

Dear Mom,
Thanks for teaching me basically everything I know.
And for teaching me that I can do hard things.

Dear Dad,
Thanks for teaching me what it means to
feel the spirit. And what it means to follow Christ.

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. ...
