2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016.
This year has definitely been a year of learning.
Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become.
I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set
my mind to do and that I just need possible.
 I'm not who I was a year ago and
I've learned to be okay with that.
I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different
person than I was even two years ago.
I've learned that life goes on.
And I've learned that things don't always go as planned.
I've learned that things happen for a reason
and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours.
I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to
be grateful for every moment because we won't be able
to get those moments back.
This year I've also learned to be thankful.
Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision
I make.
Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home
on those warm July days.
I'm thankful for the gospel and for the testimony that I have received
this year.
I'm thankful for this guy, named Griffin, who happened to walk
into my life when I needed him most. He's so thoughtful and really is the
most caring guy I've ever met. (he seriously deserves a post all to himself)
I'm thankful for education (no I'm not where I thought I would be, but eventually I'll get
there, remember it's His timing)
I'm thankful for the multitude of business opportunities that I've had and
surprisingly for the opportunities that I had to let die because it was becoming a toxin.
I'm thankful for every aspect of my life, the good/the bad/the ugly/the pretty
for without all of these things I would not be who I am today.

2016, you were a pretty grand year,
you're most definitely a year for the books.
But I'm sure 2017 will be an even grander year
 and I can't wait!

Spring Break 2016

This year I was FINALLY able to go on a spring break trip with my family, which was much needed. You see usually my school schedule and work schedule never coincide with when my family is taking their annual trip to the lovely KW but this year it did! I was so excited to be able to go this trip! This year (and every other year) we traveled to Key West, Florida and OMG it was amazing! Even though it was a long(er) trip it was well worth it! There is so much to do there, even if the place itself is only 3 miles wide. My favorite thing to do is the Conch Train ride, its a little train/trolley ride that takes you around KW and tells you historical facts about the place, (maybe I love it a little too much because I am a history guru). But in all seriousness it is nice to actually get away from the demands of life and enjoy time with family and it doesn't hurt that it was in such a beautiful place surrounded by the ocean. On our way to Key West and on our way back home, we stopped at...

Top [Ten] favorite quotes!

Today I am going to talk about my top 10 favorite quotes and why I love them. I think that inspirational quotes are my favorite type of quotes just because as I have gotten older I've learned to rely on them and they help me get through some of the dark times in my life. 1. "Those who move forward with a happy spirit will find that things work out"  -Gordon B. Hinckley I love this quote because I honestly believe in it. I grew up listening to this man talk in conferences and I absolutely love reading his talks. It's so amazing that when I read or listen to his talks how much I feel as though he is talking specifically to me. 2. "You have not failed until you quit trying" -Gordon B. Hinckley See, I told you I love this man. I absolutely love this quote because it is true, I believe that if you keep on trying at something you have won in some regards. 3.  "If you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that is enough" -David A....
