This 2015 has already been full of plenty ups and downs.
There are high points and there are low points but lately the low points keep rollin it like it’s their job.
I find that lately I am relying on other people more than ever to help fight my battles with me. And surprisingly, it truly has helped a lot! I rely on Will for advice, the Lord for comfort, friends to take my mind off of everything, and family to realize what is most important. Sometimes I feel like I can do everything on my own but I have learned this month I simply cannot. I can do certain things to help the situation but having a great support group is vital.
During church last week I found this quote and couldn’t get it out of my head–
It was exactly what I needed to read and develop in my daily life.
It is something I can do on my own too!
If I simply respond with more love and kindness in a genuine way to whatever comes my way I will be happy. And personal happiness is extremely important to anyones personal well-being.
So that’s my new goal..
Okay on to other things that have happened lately…
Will and I had a LONG delayed temple date last week! We went up to Draper and it was beeeeautiful.
It’s insane to me how fast nights book up with so many other things! But going into the temple on a Friday night and escaping the world was one of the happiest nights I have had in a long time.
Afterwards we ran to Crate & Barrel to find a wedding gift for someone there (thank goodness for those wedding gift cards still!) and for a second I couldn’t find Will and then found him here.
HAHAHA.
He is the best human I swear.
My little brother received his Eagle Scout Award last week and these cookies were incredible.
Both in looks and taste…
Life lately at our place consists of Will studying, me watching Friends, Will studying, me decorating the cottage because I have a slight obsession with it, Will studying, and me reading a book in my bed every night.
So far I have read Sarah’s Key, Glass Castle, & Yes Please.
All sooo good!
I’m currently reading Where’d Ya Go Bernadette and CAN’T STOP LAUGHING.
Will’s aunt made this stitching above… I married into the craftiest family ever and yet I can bring NOTHING to the table. I show up with the food HA.
Are you sick of my mantle yet?
I swear it’s my favorite thing to decorate.
The fireplace doesn’t even work anymore but at least I can make it look cute!
I know it is Monday which means sometimes I have a Motivational Monday post but while in the temple on Saturday night with my girlfriends I realized that I am probably the last person on earth that should be offering up advice to other people. From time to time I will probably post a quote I love or something but I am no professional when it comes to succeeding in life. If you know me well, you know I am pretty much a big ol’ mess. I’m sensitive, all over the place, and busy as a bee. My blog is a place to simply pour out my thoughts, record my life with Will, and share pictures that I love to take. I LOVE to take pictures AND post them.. sue me! I know I probably drive some people nuts and some people probably leave my little space on the internet not benefitting whatsoever/find it pointless but that’s okay with me. I fell in love with blogging a couple years ago because it was a great creative outlet for me. I used to dance and do other artistic things but since I don’t anymore this where I love to be creative! I don’t have my life figured out whatsoever and wish I knew the answer to everything but I simply do not. I am imperfect in plenty of ways and have as many issues as the next person but I am trying my hardest to live each day better than the last. I am sure everyone out there reading this (if you made it this far, claps for you!) is trying their hardest to live their best life possible. We all are! So keep on doin what you’re doin. I will try to as well.
Happy Monday peeps.
