so good.

Sometimes, we think our lives are horrible because of one situation or one person that brings us down, when really it should be bringing us up. Some situations make us stronger & some make us weaker. But lately i have been thinking about life & how great it is. I mean think about it, it really is so so perfect. Yes, sometimes we mess up, or we get our heart broken, or we lose someone really close to us, but when you look on the bright side, we have it so good. We live in a beautiful country surrounded by amazing friends & family & an amazing gospel & education. I really couldn't ask for anything better. Yeah, i dream of living on a beach in Hawaii. Yeah, I wish my mom could walk. Yeah, i wish school would never start. But no, instead i'm surrounded by beautiful mountains & amazing people & a great life. We wish for many things & want many things to work out in our life, but we need to realize that we have it grrrreat. I am so thankful for everything & everyone in my life. I am so thankful for the trials i have been through that has made be the person i am today. Even though everyday is a new struggle, i couldn't ask for a better life.

ranch & weddings.

Ever since the fourth of July, life has been pretty crazy. First i had youth conference, which was so incredibly fun.(pictures to come soon) & then all the cousins came. My cousin got married so they all came down from Texas & Washington. We had the greatest time as usual. First we started off with the ranch. Its beautiful. After the ranch we came home to celebrate my cousin Andrews wedding.

the best time of the year.

Is of course Strawberry Days. I always look so so forward to it & it never fails to disappoint me.

Wednesday started out with going to the carnival of course with all of my friends. It was a blast. Then on Thursday I went to the rodeo of course my favorite. Friday I went to the carnival once again with all the girls & we had a blast. Too much fun. Then to end Strawberry Days, you will never guess where I went again. Yes. The carnival. I am now known as the "carni ride" according to my family. Sorry I enjoy riding the zipper over & over numerous times. Then to wrap it all up we went to our friends house, sat on blankets & watched the fireworks.
