So I have not posted in a while. Things have been a bit hectic... Trying to get through life and move forward. I've learned that life is hard work and every day is a new day where we should be working on our progression. By working towards our goals. To becoming closer to our heavenly father by selflessly serving those around us. everyday, working on our weaknesses, talents. and being anxiously engaged in a good cause. Improvement each days is what we should all aim for; Spiritually, mentally, physically, intellectually, mentally, emotionally. And when we do this...we find unexplainable joy, especially when we do it because we want to be like our Heavenly Father. We must also remember that we are in control of our lives and we can work for things, and when we follow with obedience and try our best, the Lord will do the rest.

Camel Apple Saturday!! YUM!!!

TBT: Prom with my best friends!

Miss these girls, these girls are called friends to me! Each of them beautiful inside and out. They all went along to serve missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints! Miss them like crazy!

Running out of time

Do you ever feel like time is just going by so quickly right before your eyes? I do. I can't believe it is already August and we are already half way through. It is crazy! Well while I am working and making money to go back to BYU-Idaho It is nice that time is going by quickly, but at the same time life could just slow down a little and I can slow down and just relax and enjoy where I am. I have been loving the summer. Hikes, friends, bon fires, long walks at night! it is really the best time of year and it will be over soon. I had a chance today to take some pictures outside of an outfit I am in. I love this shirt. My mom bought it as a tank top and then sewed these cute white sleeves on it. She is so creative and so good, I will one day be like her, I hope. Anyway, ha I entered this outfit in to the down east contest they were having and hope to win 100 bucks! That would be nice! Well I hope we all have a wonderful Friday tomorrow! HAPPY FRIDAY!
