#7daybreak

Whats up?
If you follow me on any of my social media accounts
then you already know what I'm going to be talking about today.
If you dont already know I am a "mormon" and last week the president
of our church challenged the youth to take a break from social media and focus
on the important things in life that doesn't revolve around social media.
Holy moly when I first heard about this challenge there was tons of thoughts creeping into my head...like tons...at first I thought "First off I am not a youth, so why try it?" "There's no way I can go 7 days without getting on social media, its how I make parts of my living!" 
Truth be told, I kept my messenger app simply because my boyfriend is currently deployed overseas and that is the way we communicate for the time being.
But alas I did it and I am soooooo happy to announce that I didn't die... ha!
Believe it or not I actually enjoyed not having to constantly keep up with
what other people are doing and honestly if it wasn't a way for me to have an income
I would probably delete all of my social media.
There is so much stuff that I learned when I was not on social media (a post for another day)
that I can't wait to share with you all!
You can find information about the 7 day break here it even gives you the option to watch
the devotional that the President of our church gave to the youth, even though they use the word youth the one great thing about our church is that all of it's teaching can be applied to anyone.
I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to take a break from the world and focus on what really has mattered most in my life.

The bottom line is that it is important to take breaks from the world and seriously focus on what truly matters.
Facebook isn't always going to be there and I dont know about you but I would seriously hate to miss half of my children's childhood because I was glued to my phone 98% of the day.
So take a break from the world and enjoy your life, with your family.

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...

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 th...

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....
