Life Lately..

I've definitely been slacking on this blog lately. 

So I'll just do a re-cap of what has been going 

on this last month.

My baby sister turned 17.. 

I can't even believe it. 

She is growing up so fast and turning into quite

the mature woman. 

She has so much talent and the biggest heart.

I can't wait to see what's in store for her

future, cause I know it'll be amazing.

I'm lucky I got to celebrate with her

at Olive Garden and with a yummy

homemade cake afterwards.

A few days after Tay's birthday was this little babe's 

blessing day. 

Isn't she the sweetest? I am literally obsessed with her. 

When she gets a little older I am certain she'll get tired

of me always snapping pictures of her :) 

I'm so lucky to be a part of her life though and to see her grow! 

She looked beautiful in her white blessing

dress and her dad gave a short but sweet blessing.

I was happy to be a part of her big day. 

I decided to go back to blonde..

It looks a lot more blonde in this picture than it does

in real life.. but I'm loving it being more blonde

than before.. 

Change is always a good thing! 

We celebrated my mom's birthday a week early since she

would be up at Womens Conference on her actual birthday.

This lady doesn't look a day over 29, I tell ya. 

She's just the best!

We enjoyed a pool party and some fun in the sun..

We ended the night with a delicious ice cream cake

from Cold Stone! 

I am so ready for these summer days by the pool! 

The weather here has been weird..

I'm ready for real summer weather and pool time

This guy came back through town.

Although it was really brief it was still fun! 

We basically hung out at our house and then went to 

my parents for a little while the last night he was in town.
He came from his long stay in Australia and Hawaii

to play baseball in Missouri again. He will then be

passing back through town hopefully in October

so we can see him again! 

Him and Adam are soul mates..

I am going to miss him! 

I wanted to remember this cute gesture from Adam.

He is infamous for leaving cute notes for me but 

these ones were especially needed. 

I was heading out of town that day for Womens Conference

and was happy he made me a lunch for work 

and included cute love notes.

The simple things in a marriage are what end up mattering

the most. 

I hope we can always remember the simple gestures and acts

of kindness! 

This guy sure knows how to make a girl feel special! 

Just a typical Sundayfunday..

Life has been pretty busy lately and just 

seems to be going by so fast! 

I received a new calling in my church as the 

Secretary in Primary. I am pretty excited and nervous! 

I am not sure what to expect.

I have been a primary teacher before with Adam and

we have been doing the ward bulletin now for almost 2 years

so it's going to be a new experience but I'm excited

for the new challenge and the opportunity

to meet new people and see the cute kiddos. 

Adam started working for my Dad this week actually.

He really wanted to work for him again and my brother

seems to enjoy it, so he's back out in the construction

field! He loves the fast-pace work day and meeting 

new people. I think it's a good fit for him.

It's also a nice schedule having 

the nights free, and the weekends. 

Not to mention his boss is a little 

flexible with his schedule :) 

I am in the process of figuring out the rest of my life too 

I have been contemplating back and forth for several

years about my career and what I really, truly wanted to do.

I always envisioned myself working and being a mom.

I feel cool and lucky that I received a

 bachelors degree and the thought of more

school has never scared me. 

I wanted to be a school counselor so bad a few years ago

and took all the right steps to try and achieve that..

I got a little side tracked and I'm just trying to figure out the

right path for me and my future. 

I am hopeful I'll figure out school soon and be able to

start working towards that career again..

obviously the sooner the better.

I used to be so impatient .. still am a little :)

but the thought of a 2 year program doesn't seem so

long anymore when I look at my life the last 4 years. 

I think I can do it.. and I also am hopeful

I'll be able to be a mom someday and that will all

just fit in nicely. . 

Most posts to come soon on wonderful

Women's Conference, Mothers Day & Dad's birthday..
