happy future

"Is there a happy future for you and your posterity in these latter days? Absolutely! Will there be difficult times when those ominous latter-day warnings and prophecies are fulfilled? Of course there will. Will those who have built upon the rock of Christ withstand winds, hail, and the mighty shafts in the whirlwind?

You know they will."   

 - Elder Jeffery R. Holland

MORE PHOTOS TO COME

ikea - what a little love

I've been looking for a vintage looking frame/mirror.  Preferably a BLACK frame.

I've been looking and looking and looking online and had decided to give up.  I couldn't find one in my budget...I'm not paying $400.00 - $1000.00 for a MIRROR.  No way jose.

I almost gave up hope tonight when I came across this on IKEA.com

Isn't this a BEAUTY?!  I am so thrilled to go pick it up in the store this week!

Thanks IKEA!  I just LOVE YOU!

He Lives

I love to watch these videos.  This is a powerful one.

Have a glorious day :)

Do you remember the 21st night of September?

Love was changing the mind of pretenders.

While chasin' the clouds away

I love Earth, Wind, and Fire dearly.  This is such a great feel-good song!

"time's flying by, moving so fast
you better make it count cause you can't get it back"
(random, but i just love this line from a song.  shocker, eh?  that i would quote a song! *gasp*)


lately i've become a work-a-holic.  literally.  all i do is work, work, work. it's my new addiction.
don't get me wrong, i LOVE my job (now I have an internship to go to as well) but life has just been insanely busy!

I am now interning at the best dental office in the entire world.  the doctors are great, the girls I get to work with and learn from are wonderful, and I am so blessed to be there.

i guess you could say I am just ONE HAPPY GIRL right now.
life is busy, but i love it this way.

i am so blessed to be where I am at, at this very moment in time.
I'm blessed beyond measure.
life is bliss.
it truly is.

and guess what, I am even getting my running in this week along with all of the work that's been going on!
go me.
i feel accomplished too.
i even start guitar lessons next week, which i am thrilled about.

life couldn't get any sweeter for me.  could it?
