The Days Adventures.

I finally have a phone where I can post blog posts from! That's exciting for me because I will probably write more (: Today is my cousin Jake and his fiancee's wedding!!! I swear we grow up so fast! It's crazy to even think about. I miss my family though. Who would have thought? So I'm excited to see them. Life is just good all around right now!

Counting the Blessings Through the Trials

Sometimes I sit and wonder why bad things always have to happen to me. It's the perfect way to feel sorry for yourself, right? I tend to find myself saying that more often then not. Throughout my life I have been taught that the Lord presents and opportunity of growth through the trials that come my way. It's taken me an long time to realize how personally the Lord really does know me. Without fail, any trial that has been presented in my life, I have always had the Lord by my side. The saying really is true. He never said it would be easy, He just said it would be worth it.

Fun (:

People who make my life amazing. (:

The best ride ever. Almost peed my pants.

Look at how cute they make the rooms. They were so nice! We were super lucky.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me (:

I wasn't too happy that Justin Bieber was getting more attention on this trip then me.

Just looking at this makes me so angry. This man is a line cutter. Yeah. When you wait in line for an hour, it makes you bitter.

Nothing like a late night jungle cruise.

Our bill: $107. boom.

We tried to take it ourselves. But the nice man across from us realized we were struggling and saved us any further embarrassment.

Fun times.

Castle in daylight.

Loved. This. Ride. I swear I could have rode this a million times.

Fancy shmancy.

Beauty from Ashes

It's hard to give all your life stories and experiences a name, but when I came across "Beauty from Ashes", I felt like it would fit perfectly. To me this means focusing on the good things in life through everything. Even the biggest of storms. I feel blessed to be who I am. I love my life and I am so thankful for the people I have been blessed to know.

Letting Go.

Oh boy. This topic is one of the hardest for me to address because I myself struggle with it all the time, and maybe too often. Maybe that's why I decided to write about it. Because I suppose if I have this to refer back to, it will remind me to just let go. Ever since I can remember, I have been one to wear my heart on my sleeve. I love people, and when I meet someone who I instantly feel like I could be close with, my heart just automatically let's them in. Bad quality or good, I trust very easily. Even when I have heard or know otherwise. I'm the girl of apologies and giving chances. Most people know that, and some have definitely taken advantage. There have been times where I have felt like a person has literally broken my heart. I have felt pain beyond measure, wondering to myself how I could let go even though the other person already has. I could never imagine leaving someone I love. Let alone ever hurting them. Because when I love, I love with everything I have. But experience has taught me that time truly heals all wounds. I'm not one who lives regretting things in my life. Because I know I wouldn't be where I am today without those things. And I definitely would not be as strong. Even though I'm far from perfect, I feel like I don't need to change who I am. Sometimes people would tell me I need to stop being so trusting and stop wearing my heart on my sleeve, but just because people have hurt me that way, doesn't mean I'm going to change me. If people hurt me, or use me, that's their problem. Something they have to live with. There is nothing wrong with loving people and trusting people. Because that is just who I am. I decided I can let go of the things I can't control. And even though I still struggle with it at times, letting go has truly set me free and I am genuinely happy.
