A little taste of summer

I must say I probably had the most amazing weekend ever. Being in college is stressful but we never fail to find something fun to do. Now all you need to do is follow these simple rules.

1st spend $5 on a tube at WalMart

2nd almost pass out blowing them up.

3rd find some freezing cold water and jump in

4th get out of the water and attempt to warm up

5th strike a pose

BEST WEEKEND EVER <3

Monkey Rock

I have been really homesick lately and really anxious to see my family and friends. I miss the green of Minnesota and the millions of lakes (not really millions..but it seems that way). i have been struggling the past week with staying focused because all i can think about is wanting to go home and be outta school for the summer, but today Hayley, Carly Jo, Karisa, and I went to Monkey Rock, its a gorgeous sandy beach on the "lake" (lake is is in quotations...well, because i AM from Minnesota and "lakes" in Idaho..well they aren't really lakes) overlooking a waterfall, that is let me add; gorgeous <3

I could not be more thankful for the things that God created on this Earth. I found myself mesmerized by the falling water and the sound of it. As i walked out into the water i found myself slipping on the rocks at the bottom, i bent down to pick up one of them, to find it perfectly smooth and round. I stared at it for a second and thought about how it got that way...i realized that the happenings of this rock is to complex for me to fathom. I have learned that its the simple things i get caught up in the most. the way the cold water felt over my body, the water from the falls pushing past me . the way I lost my breath when i went under, and the warmth of the gorgeous sun in the sky. I close my eyes and let my thoughts wander but nothing crosses my mind for a few minutes then all i could think about was the sound of the falls and how thankful i am for everything i have in my life. I find perfection in the simplest things. i cant say this enough....perfection is in the eye of the beholder. I am so thankful for the little things in my life that make me realize that there is so much more to life than we think, that perfection is possibly, perfection in our own eyes. 

I pray for you :]

I havent been to church since I don’t remember when
Things were goin’ great ‘til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you can’t go hatin’ others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry, but we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do His job and you just pray for them

I pray your brakes go out runnin’ down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I’d like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you’re flyin’ high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know where ever you are honey, I pray for you

I’m really glad I found my way to church
‘Cause I’m already feelin’ better and I thank God for the words
Yeah I’m goin’to take the high road
And do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messin’ up and I’ll keep prayin’ for you

I pray your tire blows out at 100 and 10
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend and wake up with his and her tattoos

I pray your brakes go out runnin’ down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I’d like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you’re flyin’ high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, near or far, in your house or in your car,
wherever you are honey, I pray for you.

Really Rexburg?

so...venting my frustration here. I must say i love...(but i actually hate) when i wake up to an amazingly warm sunny gorgeous day and go to class clean my apartment, do homework, lay out, go for a walk, motorcycle ride (lets just say i was very much so enjoying the 80 something degree weather)....and then outta nowhere...what happens?...um! it freaking starts raining and thundering. now dont get me wrong here, i looove the rain and thunder but not when it just so happened to be an amazingly gorgeous day and i still had lots of time to enjoy the sunshine. ugh...well that my frustration for the day :] theeee best thing after it rains might be the smell in the air....& the gorgeous rainbows...and the amazing sky! :]

The Little Things

Its my life, Plain & Simple. Living in Rexburg, Idaho isnt always the easiest thing in the entire world, but i have learned to love the little things, whether its the sound of the rain and thunder and the flash of lightening, or laying out in the middle of no where staring into the starry sky. I have learned that the sky is the limit, reach for the stars. I have also learned to find escapes in the smallest ways. waterfalls absorb all the worries and pain in my life

Never take things for granted because you never know when they will be taken away from you. I have learned that my family are the people that are never going to let me down no matter what i am going through and i could not be more thankful for them. When it comes down to it, friends come and go, people turn their backs on you, hearts get broken, and awful words get exchanged, so love the ones you have, you never know when they'll disappear. I am so thankful to live with the 5 most amazing girls, we aren't perfect, but who is? & at the end of the day...we're family, and families stick together no matter what. 

its as simple as a couple bottles of paint <3
