I fell in love at BYU-Idaho

I fell in love at BYU-Idaho

I remember when I was a senior applying for college. I always knew I wanted to go to BYU because that’s what all the people older than me were doing. I remember the day very well–I was on BYU’s website and at the bottom of the website were links to BYU-Hawaii, BYU-Idaho, and LDSBC. I had heard of people who…
I’ve Been Thinking About Faith All Wrong

I’ve Been Thinking About Faith All Wrong

Sometimes life isn’t always easy. Sometimes we are not as strong as we would like people to think we are. So I am here to share my own recent battles and inner struggles to hopefully help someone who may be feeling the same way. Lately I have been feeling pretty faithless. For some reason I have had little hope and trust…

This Post Is Dedicated To My Mama

MOM. I have something to tell you. It’s serious. So talk when I’m done. D-O-N-E done. Today is Mother’s Day of 2016. I don’t have an amazing story to share or this amazing experience that changed my life. Instead, I have an amazing person. An amazing person that shaped my life and me into who I am today.

Maybe you don’t have your dream job right now but you are applying and applying to tons of jobs.

What my day stuck in the airport taught me about life.

What my day stuck in the airport taught me about life.

“This is ridiculous.” “Are you going to get me a new flight?!” “I’m sick of this.” “Do you have any idea what I’ve been through today?” These are all various things I have heard today directed toward American Airlines. I’m currently sitting in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport waiting for my next flight to go home. I was supposed to arrive…
I call it “Snowshine”

I call it “Snowshine”

Today I walked out of my apartment to go to my car and as I turned the corner of my apartment building, I stopped in my tracks. The scene before me was so beautiful and majestic. One that immediately sent emotions of gratitude and joy rushing through my body. I didn’t want to pass it up. So I just stood…
Our Snowshoeing Adventure

Our Snowshoeing Adventure

he best thing happened to me back at the beginning of March. I had just went to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday so needless to say I came back to my apartment rather satisfied. I was in my room just planning on editing some pictures or watching some tutorials (yeah nerd status) until my roommate said someone was…

Stones in the River

Note: This is a post I wrote on an older blog but I wanted to re-feature it here.  I realize that a lot of my recent posts have been kind of “deep” and so I’m sorry if that bothers you, buttttt it’s just part of my life right now so deal with it. :) Many things have happened in the…
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Note: This is a post I wrote on an older blog but I wanted to re-feature it here. I can just see it now. My kids will ask when I was born and this will be their reaction: “You were born in the 1900’s?! You are so old!” I have had a LOT of time to reflect these last couple…
