Really Do!..

SO I really do want to be a carpenter and designer. Everyone has been teasing me non stop and doesn't believe me but I can totally see myself building houses and building random things! I really want to learn how to make it all and I'm willing to start from square one like framing houses or something LOL.. no but seriously.  I can't wait to get going on this. Job hunting now... Oh and my accessories I mean TOOLS will look like this...
My pink belt, pink hard hat, and pink tools.  Do not even say you can't see me doing this because you so know this fits me perfectly!

In Love..

Decided to end this month of "love" with all the things I love so much! haha

Lets be honest I love all candy and am always eating candy. Can't even say its disgusting because its not. Its good.

love wearing shorts. So much more comfortable than jeans. And its cause I like summer too.

love getting pedicures and getting my nails done.

yall know how much I love my sleep.

I love driving! Night drives are the best. And I do get mad like this at cars. Stupid drivers are annoying.



movie and book are amazing. first movie I bought full price and I don't even regret it. 




So these are just some of my loves right now! I feel like I'm turning into the most boring person ever! I need to get some more excitement in my life! Who said growing up is fun? :) just kidding I love growing up.

saving graces!

Tonight I realized how grateful I am for my many talents and also realized how much of a release and a peace they bring into my life!

I was shooting around then shooting free throws and theres just nothing better.  Its such a release!  I could shoot around all day and night! I love this sport!









Then right after I went and played around on the piano and then taught and I also was grateful for that spirit and peace that surrounds me when I play and sing hymns.  Growing up my mom would always have one of us kids play hymn arrangements through out the dat or would have the cd going because she always said hymns bring a special spirit into the home and she couldn't be more right.  My parents home has such strong spirit and I am so grateful for it.  The other day while I was nannying, I just needed to be at home.  I needed to feel the warmth, and peace of my home.  So I loaded up the kids and we spent a few hours at home!  Thats something I hope I can learn and take from my parents some day!

its called control.. lol

this is what happens when I get stressed to the max and need some control! I don't think I can ever shift over to technology calendars and schedules completely. I need to see it all laid out in front of me on paper and in my hand writing! I love seeing the to do list crossed off! Thats accomplishment!

Don't think I don't think about it with lyrics


for reals this song has been on my mind and I swear its dedicated to me! haha. I'm not afraid to admit either! We all have regrets and we all "think about it". I aint scurred to say so :) Thanks Darius!

VDAY!

As much as I don't totally care for Valentines Day... it ALWAYS turns out to be a great day!

I am not a super romantic person, I get super embarrassed with romance. I'd rather be goofing around laughing then being all "serious and romantic". BUT it warms a girl's heart and gives her much needed confidence when she receives praise and acknowledgment and I was so grateful and proud of the boys who took time to send a simple text in recognition of valentines day. That right there melts me!

I have the BEST brothers in the world! I got a text from Michael asking if I could do lunch (I was working boo!) and then I got sweet textes from my other brothers. They are so so good to me! I love being their only sister! :)

THEN... I got roses from the sweetest dudes. I don't deserve to have so much love given to me!

AND THEN I went on a fun date with Tyler.  It was so great to just have a simple night out and to be treated like I'm the only thing that exist in the world.

It was a great night.

only got a picture of these. They were all beautiful! :)

my best friends~

Since its valentines eve I wanted to write about all my best friends and why I love them so much and why they are so important in my life.

Delaina Dowdy aka D... she is my rock! This girl is my sister, my other half literally! I don't know how I lived 20 years with out her.  She has taught be so much, she brings me so much strength and wisdom and I'm so grateful for her honesty, and her sensitivity and for all the love she has for me.  We are girly! I love having a partner in crime (crime to the wallet right D? lol)  I love our spends, and our dinner dates, and pita jungle lunches, and our movies, and our fb blow ups, and any and everything you bring into my life! I love my sister and best friend!


Kelsey Lopez aka Keltss... This girl and I LOVE our juicy convos! haha we can talk all night long about the randomest weirdest things all night!  This is the girl I go to when I just need to hear "its going to be ok" even tho it might not necessarily be ok haha.  She has the kindest personality and knows how to make a good time even in the dullest moment! I love this girl. I love our chats. I love our work outs. I love our instant connection. And I love sharing clothes. Love my Keltss







Kimberly James aka Kimberly MICHELLE James: This girl knows how to shop, dress, and style any and everyone! I had my shopping addiction under control before she stepped back in my life and well we can do some serious damage together! Kimberly is special because she's been in my life since 4th grade! We were instant Best Friends all through elementary school lost contact in HS and reconnected after graduation.  I am so grateful for this girl.  I love how she'll entertain any over analysis with me, she entertains my pity parties, and she just "understands" and sometimes thats just the best thing to have is someone who just understands! She is amazing friend and I love having her in my life! We sure know how to giggle!

Ashley Lindblom aka ASH... This girl is a spiritual giant! She has been my best friend since 7th grade and was my everything in High School.  Ashley has always been such a great example and always led me to act the right way. Whenever I wanted to pick a fight she always reminded me to be the better person and that it wasn't worth it.  She is the most innocent person I've ever met and I love her purity and her self worth.  Bible I have never heard one bad thing come out of her mouth! She is always so positive and so kind and loving to everyone and is always full of service.  I'm grateful for her love and for her friendship!



Shelby Welker aka Shelbs.. and yes this picture explains her perfectly! Me and Shelby were tied to the hip all through High School and even though we have lost some contact since graduation me and her can always pick right back up and have a party! She is hilarious, oblivious, ditzy, but she'll shock you at how book smart she is! LOL. love her wildness and her G.A.S. attitude! lots of fun memories with this girl!







Michael and Tessa. These two I had to put because I am so grateful for them! I am super close to these two and Tessa is that sister I always prayed I would get!  I go to these two for any and everything and I'm so grateful they are my family!







Every girl needs best friends! It makes me sad thinking of those girls that just don't really have anyone super close to them! I'd die with out my besties! I love them!

#annoyance


Something that just gets to me every single time is when I have to open a new gallon of milk. Does that not annoy anyone else?! Specially since now they have those plastic cover things inside the cap that are like impossible to tare off.. AND my mom keeps the extra gallons in the other fridge so I have to walk ALL the way over to the other fridge.  I don't even like milk! I just like my cereal. I'm just sayin it annoys me way to much!

A Moment of Strength

I have decided that I really do have to learn the hard way and suffer serious consequences before I finally fully understand and accept circumstances.  I KNOW I make Heavenly Father shake his head every single day for making stupid mistakes and reacting in ways that I do.  I am such a sensitive girl.. I've always been sensitive but lately I have been sharing it with the world and its been killing me how much it can hurt someone. There really is a fine line and balance with sensitivity and of course I learn from a breaking point where that balance lies.  I sit here and wish I wouldn't have done this or said that or reacted this way or another and all I can do now is learn from it and become a better person because of the mistakes I have made and the lessons I have learn.

Alma 14:26 - " And Alma cried, saying : How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord? O Lord, give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto deliverance. And they broke the cords with which they were bound; and when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them.

14:28 - And Alma and Amulek came forth out of the prison, and they were not hurt; for the Lord had granted unto them power, according to their faith which was in Christ. And they straightway came forth out of the prison; and they were loosed from their bands;

These are the words that touched me and comforted me in a moment of complete hopelessness and heartache.  I am so thankful for a mindful Lord and for all that he has blessed me with.  In this time of complete weakness I have been blessed with so much surrounding strength.  He has placed amazing, strong, and influential people in my life that know how to love me and raise me up and comfort me and protect me.  I'm thankful for parents who never stop loving and caring for me and take me in with open arms when I need a shoulder to cry on.
Through this time of weakness I have built so much strength.  I have been humbled and edified. I have never been so grateful for what I have and have never cherished the little things more than I can right now.  I know life will work itself out.  I know Heavenly Father is listening and will always have a helping hand and guiding my way.  I am thankful for this moment of strength.
