So, I googled fun blog topics. It gave me a huge list of things I could write about, and this is the topic I chose. It may bore you, but I thought it sounded fun.
The most important thing life has taught me so far, is that family is everything. When I was in high school, I barely ever spent time with my family. I was always out with friends or locked up in my room sleeping. I kind of regret that now, because when I graduated, I said to myself.. what now? I really didn't know. Soon after that I learned that the majority of your friends from high school you won't hear from ever again, besides a few (Hailey and Tessa). I now cherish the time I get to spend with family more then anything. My love for them has grown so much.
Next thing i've learned about life... probably the hardest lesson for me to learn... is to not take things so seriously. My feelings get hurt easily, I won't lie. But about 99 percent of the time, whatever hurt my feelings, wasn't intended to. I have had nights where I just sit up and wonder why something happened... when really I shouldn't be worrying about it. I would say its kind of just my personality to be that way, but I have learned the hard way that I need to not be so sensitive!
Another thing i've learned about life.. you can't get through it without the gospel. It should always be the center of our lives. When I haven't been to the temple in a while, I can feel it. I feel as though i'm missing something huge in my heart that nothing can fix besides going to the temple. I am grateful for the blessings that come from it! I am so happy that I have a husband who can take me there. I am grateful to have the priesthood in my home, it gives me peace of mind. What a blessing it is to know we have a Heavenly Father who loves us, no matter what.
Those are just a few lessons i've learned! Anyone agree with me? ;) Have a good day everyone!!!

Life's many milestones..
Summer has officially began! You know what that means... birthdays and graduations galore. In my family, Josh's birthday is May 30th, mine and my father-in-law's bday is the 31st, my sister Megan's bday is June 6th, Mom's is June 9th and we just celebrated my brother in-law's bday today! Holy Craziness!! We have also been to quite a few graduation parties for cousins, aunts, friends, and even my own brother's.
Josh's graduation was so awesome! I'm so glad Garrett and I could go. We had a graduation party for Josh and had his favorite... Costa Vida. I think he liked that! I am sooo proud of him for all he has accomplished. He was voted best male lead at RMHS, given the Distinguished Student award (which gives you a $5,000 scholarship and $500 cash) graduated with honors, has about a million friends, graduated from seminary, and has chosen to serve a mission. He is going to Dallas, Texas! We are so excited for him. I know he will do great things on his mission. He has always been a great teacher. He reports to the mtc September 17th. I am glad we have the summer to spend with him!
Another exciting thing happening in our life.. we bought a car! We got a 2013 Ford Escape. You could say it's Garrett's new favorite toy! He loves it. It took us a long time to find the right vehicle, but it was worth the wait. I am sooo glad we are done car shopping. So not fun to me! So far it is very fun to have. Garrett says one day it will be my "sexy mommy mobile" :) haha!
Let's see.. besides that, we have been taking lots of bike rides and enjoying the nice weather. This past weekend we were in salt lake and went to the temple. It was my first time going to the slc one! I loved it. The celestial room was gorgeous. Garrett was showing me all the small details and how amazing it was that they hand carved almost everything in the room. I can't even imagine the time that was put in to it! We spent time with Gar's parent's.. his mom took me to smith's and gave me my first lesson on flowers. I got a cute flower pot to put outside our door and now know a little more about gardening! If any of you didn't know, Chris is like the queen of flowers... her yard always looks amazing. So i was glad she could teach me a little!
That's all that's going on in our lives right now... See ya next time!! <3
