Hello Springtime.

It's been almost a year since I last wrote on here. A lot has happened since then: I went back and worked at Disney last summer, I was an EFY counselor (such an amazing experience that I'm doing it again), was reunited with old friends, started my junior year of college, was given another beautiful niece, was able to spend the holidays with my entire family and loved every second of it, started an internship, and visited Disney two more times (I'm addicted).

I wasn't sad to see 2011 go at all. I had lots of experiences and learned a lot about life and myself. Time to start looking forward.

Things I learned:
Family is everything.
Trust in the Lord's timetable.
Hot chocolate can always make me happy.
Nieces are the best.
Traveling is good for the soul..
Broken hearts hurt.
People change.
Small things matter.
Crying isn't always bad.
Sometimes you need help.
Brownies are always better with a surprise inside.
My parents are the best.
I'm a pro at crying in airports.
There is no 'pause' button in life.
:)


Today I wanted to think less about winter and more about spring (well actually summer, but I have to take it one step at a time). It was a gorgeous day in Utah, the sun was shining and the mountains were beautiful. I decided to crack some windows, get some fresh air, and decorate for spring. Have a look.

"Find a little SPRING in everyday."

I'm excited to be going home this summer. It'll be the first time since I graduated high school that I will be home for longer than 3 weeks. Plus I'm hoping to spend some high quality time with my adorable new niece, Colbi Capri. Can't wait to meet her!
