In Love With A Season


DITTO!!! :)

Fell down? Getting up quick? Break dancing?? Only Andrew knows. :)

My cute coworkers!

This fall is becoming one of the best I have had in a very very long time. If you could see what I get to look at outside my large office window, right now, I know that you would be as stunned as I am. There is a lot to look forward to this semester, and I can feel a certain buzz in the air that I haven't felt in awhile. :)
Last night I was able to share the gospel with a friend who actually shared it with me a LONG time ago. What a cool experience to be able to lift HER spirits up after she had lifted mine for years. It is amazing how good friends touch our lives the very moment we need them most, whether it be a simple message, a hug, or a concerned phone call...they always seem to pop up RIGHT in the nic-of-time.
Life is good. Life is REALLY good right now. :) School is going extremely well, work is great, and relationships are "blossoming" phaha.
ta!

Halloween


Getting ready to go out!

Michael??



Trick or Treat?! I snuck a sucker...and maybe a pixie stick or two.



Maybe Dove should run ads like this one about self-confidence. :)

In Better Hands Now. :)

Forever is Just A Heart Beat Away.







I'm missing a friend who passed away. This is from the movie Charly and it reminds me of that friend.

7 days.

Thanks Matt.

Randomly I get a text tonight that says, "So I had this idea and want to invite you to join with me. For one week starting tomorrow only listen to church music and see if you feel a difference."
I happily accepted this challenge from this dear friend and immediately switched out my music choices.
It is amazing how these "ideas" or challenges come when you desperately need them most.

The words to these songs mean so much to me. I feel blessed to have the friends and family that I do have.
I don't know who the missionaries are that found and baptized my dad, and I am not sure why my mom felt inspired to read the Book of Mormon as a teen...but I will be forever grateful that she did. Thank you to those missionaries that I may never meet, who laid the foundation to who I am today. I don't know you but I thank you and love you.
Also, to the missionaries that came to my home as a kid...thank you. I remember one missionary that was so amazing to me. I don't remember his name, but I remember watching as he played "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx on the piano each time they stopped by to visit and wanted nothing more than to marry someone JUST like him when I was older.
I often plunk that song out on the piano and think of those elders who ate dinner with us often and brought such a sweet spirit into our home.
