What a beautiful life.

Other people inspire me.
Today it was from the mouth of modern day prophets. The comfort they brought to my soul was amazing. I love how the spirit comforts and calms my sould without changing my circumstances.
I came home for conference and have spent time with the most amazing people. My little sister Haley is one of them, she 's getting married soon and I love her alot. Sometimes change is hard, but the only thing you can count on in this life is...
That it will change.
I spent time with my dear best friend Jordan Boone, who is also soon to wed. She's amazing and I look up to her SO MUCH!
My mom and sisters and dad... ooh, my dad took me fishing today. It's a daddy daughter bonding time. It's definitly not because I take fishing seriously. I seem to get caught up on the beauty of where the mountains touch the sky, or the biker passing by on the road. My concern is rarely if I catch fish. Yet, my dad LOVES IT! so we go, and we have a great time. (just in case you were wondering, I caught a total of 0 fish. My dad= 5 fish)
I have finals next week, wish me luck. AND THEN...
I am headed off to my next adventre... Washington D.C. I have a feeling this will be amazing. I am going to use all God has taught me the past couple years to change myself and the people around me for the better. Alot of challenges are ahead of me, but as I heard in conference today "Give me my next challenge." I can do everything I am asked through Jesus Christ. He has all my confidence.

Life Lesson:
No experience, no pain, no frustration is wasted as long as you learn from it. The people who come and go from your life to the next are not people that meant nothing. Each person I have ever met has changed me and made me better, made this life bearable and have been blessings. SO, learn all you can from every person and experiene. Blessings will come, prayers will be answered.

The small wonders of each day, make it worth living. Find what moves you and what you love and run with it. Be the best you can in the realm you have chosen to live it. Be successful. Don't be scared to fail. If you never take the risk that you might fail, you will never become or come up with anything original.

Life. Is. Beautiful.

It has definitely been awhile. But I embarked on a new adventure, several actually. I am at BYU-I and will be heading to Washington D.C. in April. 
Life changes so fast. No one can know where, when or how. But it changes. Life is about change. Christ loves it when we change. It is painful process, yet the results are so much more fulfilling.
Life is simple, yet confusing. The simple things are what make life worth living. It is not the size of your car, or the vastness of your house. It is the people and experiences you let in. 
Life sometimes hurt, Life sometimes leaves you bruised. But the strength you gain from getting up again is so much more important. 
Who knows what will come next. My little sister is getting married. The beautiful Jordan Boone who lives her life which such a zeal, is getting married. She is amazing. She loves life, despite the challenges. She is my light.
I love my mom. She is the most amazing person, same with my dad. I love my parents. They have taught me so much. I am so grateful for what they taught me and how they raised me. 
I am growing up. Real life is seeping in ever so slowly. I no longer can go see my sisters down the hall. I love them. They are fabulous. They are such good examples to me. I had sadness in me today because things aren't the way they used to be. But I am determined to find the good, little miracles in today.
Here we go. Who knows what is next. But I know in whom I am have trusted. I love my Savior.
Boys confuse me. I will continue to act in faith.
Today was a beautiful day. This life is a beautiful life.
