Welp, thanksgiving has already come and gone. Kinda crazy. I spent the last couple weeks just countin down the days until I got to head home and eat some yummy goodness, and have fun with the fam. It was a blast, and my family is completely awesome!!!!
Now, I find myself awaiting some more awesomeness....I put in my mission papers last week!!!!!!!!! so hopefully in the next week or so we shall see! sweetness!!
-a loving Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ -the gift of the Holy Ghost, to guide and direct -this earth and all of its beautiful creations -family -loving and supportive parents -siblings who become my best friends -friends and roommates -my education -my job -growth through experiences and challenges -blessings and opportunities -my home -my bed -warmth and warm fireplaces -yummy food -health and wellness -sunshine -snow -smiles and laughs -the outdoors and camping and hiking -good smells...pumpkin, cinnamon, evergreen, cranberry....
around this time of year i especially love family gatherings, the plethora of fatty foods, desserts and pies, board games, drinking hot cocoa, listening to christmas music, all the beautiful lights, setting up fun decorations, cuddling up under blankets and having movie marathons, sleeping in, playing some good ol' football thanksgiving day, snow ball fights/sledding/making snowmen, the lights on temple square, road trips,...i could go on and on
So when I took my first interior design class my freshman year, I decided that my favorite architectural style was the late georgian style...and today I realized that it is STILL my favorite. haha.
here is one of the homes that I think is just beautiful... and I really love the interior and furniture styles of the victorian period. Here are some pieces that I just think are soo cool... I absolutely love this black and white checkered floor and this staircase that were quite popular in the victorian period... but I also still really have a fancy for these modern and structural designed rooms...
christmas music is now playing on fm100.3 all day everyday....24/7...daytime or nighttime...in sunshine or in shadow...any day and everyday(well i guess except for sundays when church music abounds)...ALL THE TIME!
"It is our faith in Jesus Christ that sustains us at the crossroads of life's journey. It is the first principle of the gospel. Without it we will spin our wheels at the intersection, spending our precious time but getting nowhere. It is Christ who offers the invitation to follow Him, to give Him our burden, and to carry His yoke, 'for His yoke is easy, and His burden is light'.......When we choose to follow Christ in faith rather than choosing another path out of fear, we are blessed with a consequence that is consistent with our choice."
We got married October 2012 and are now making our home in Anchorage, Alaska. We are very excited to welcome a baby boy into our family this upcoming November.
