Its beginning to look a lot like.... SNOW!

I think I would be under exaggerating if I were to say its just been snowing. It has been a practical blizzard outside. It wasnt that great at first when I was having to dig my car out from the snow... but now its just beautiful and I love it! Walking around on campus today I couldnt help but stop and take some pictures. I love living in a place where it is covered in a white blanket like here in Cache Valley. Heavenly Father has blessed me so much and I love that I live in the middle of his paint canvas. 

My beautiful walk home today from campus! I just love the trees covered in snow. 

Old Main is the prettiest building in all of campus. I just cant get over how pretty it is with the snow and the trees. Everything is just covered in snow and I love it!

My amazing house! I just want to go play in the snow all day long. Dying to go make a snowman and my own personal snow igloo :)

Here come the Wedding Bells!

Well, I always knew that this day would be coming but didnt quite expect it to be so soon! My best friend... the girl who Ive known since I was 2 years old.... the girl who has been there for me through the thick and thin is getting MARRIED!!!! I wasnt quite sure how to react to this at first.... a little upset I guess that I didnt get that special phone call. I was scared that I was losing my best friend. But all I wanted was to be excited for her. Its not everyday your best friend gets engaged! I was able to talk to her today and get the full story and what not. I am so incredibly happy for her. I honestly can not wait for the day that I am able to find my special someone and share this experience with her. On a happy note, Ill get to have my best friend there in the temple with me someday :) Seems like just yesterday we were playing barbies in the basement, making music videos, dressing up like boys, having dance parties, playing house, and thinking we were celebrities! Now hopefully her finance knows what hes getting! Well, I guess in the end I am so excited for Angela and Ryan! Love them both so very much. And am excited to go through this journey with them <3

The Goodbyes That Cant be Said

Ive never really been one to say goodbye. "See Ya Later" or "Talk to you soon" seem to be easier than that dreadful "Goodbye." Ive said those words too many times and its not something I take lightly. Ive said it to past family members, to boyfriends, best friends, and even parts of myself. Its hard to say goodbye but its worth it when you watch the countless doors swing open to say HELLO! I always heard that "The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said." This is true. Closure is a much needed part of life. Its not always easy to get though. Why is it that when it is time to say those hard words, most people arent quite sure why they are even saying them in the first place. Ive let my self worth come from those people Ive surrounded myself with. Not anymore. Im done with saying goodbye to the people I love. So... To my many close friends leaving on missions, Ill see you in 18 months. To my friends getting married, Ill see you once Ive got my somebody. To the people who wish to no longer be apart of my life, Ill wave to you in hell! :) I am so thankful for the doors that have swung open for me in the last 6 months. I have met the boy that I want to wait for and marry someday. I have met the best girls and have the privilege of living with them. I have grown closer to my family and I have realized the type of person I want to be. So Thank you. Thanks for the Goodbyes because they have only welcomed the Hellos.

Oh such a terrible picture but I seriously LOVE this girl and dont know what I would ever have done without her. She is seriously one of the most amazing, strongest girls ive ever known :) Love Linsey so much!!!

My amazing sisters! Theyll never know how much I miss them. I am so thankful for their amazing example to me <3

Oh just my bestie Ms. Brooke Beckstead!! So ready for her to come back from Hawaii!!
