Tulip Teaching

About a month ago Kristina and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. It was awesome! There were many varieties of colors and classes of tulips and with other flowers scattered throughout. It was not crowded and was a peaceful afternoon spent chatting, laughing, taking pictures, and enjoying the beauty of the gardens. The top picture is from The Secret Garden. It was so peaceful in there. I took a few minutes and sat down and just enjoyed the beauty and pondered a few things. I pulled out my little notebook and jotted down a few things. I had an overwhelming reassurance that God loves me, that He cares for me and is fully aware of everything in my life. I feel the realness of His love daily and am so grateful for my knowledge of Him and of His Son. I am so grateful for my relationship with Them, the comfort and strength because of the knowledge and love of Them brings each day. Masaya Ang Aking Puso :)

A Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I had a happy and fun cinco de mayo! Kristina and I eat fish tacos at Rubio's so good! (see picture above) Later we made strawberry-lime margaritas--without a mix. Best way to do it (less sugar) they were way yummy! We enjoyed them and the rest of the evening with Dave and Kevin. After our margaritas we went hot tubbing and later played the card game threes. The hot tubbing was nice! I was way excited to wear my new swim suit and just relax. We had an awesome time laughing and talking. I am so grateful for awesome friends-- that let me be me, are sincere, and fun-loving people.

A Walk In The Springness

Yesterday afternoon a bunch of us went for a walk. The weather was lovely and the company great! Kristina wanted to get a some shots of the amazing spring flowers and budding trees. She got some awesome shots. I actually took two pictures. The two pictures in this post. Kristina and I have a thing for sunglasses-big ones! We also love to take our fair share of sunglass shots.
I am so ready for this warm, sunny weather it has been too long! Living in Alaska was amazing, but I really missed the hot weather. Everything is blooming and beautiful! I've been able to ride my bike throughout the week- I love love love it!

Bike.Talk. People Watch.Welcome.

I love riding my bike! I went for an awesome bike ride Saturday with Daniel. I had a good time laughing and talking with him. Minutes ago, I came in from another bike ride with Mary. I love that the sun is shining and that the spring flowers are out in all their color. If you haven't looked at Mount Timpanogos for awhile I suggest that you do! It is beautiful! I am so grateful to live in a beautiful place! One way I feel God's love is through the many creations. Yesterday, I spent two and half hours talking with Dave on campus. It was nice to just sit and talk. Campus is a great place to people watch too. The semester is wrapping up and I am ready for new classes to begin. This semester has flown by. I've enjoyed it, but I am ready for a change. I will be attending summer and just move right on through into the fall. This will be the first time I've done summer semester, but I am excited to get more done. I have two classes with Dave this summer and four with him in fall. He's a great study buddy. Believe it or not we get a lot of homework done through the laughing and playing. The bff is now officially all moved in. Welcome to P-town Kristina! I am so excited to have you live so close! I am enjoying spring! Are you?

No Racing Silly Girl

It’s not a race.

Today I sweet friend reminded me that things in life are not a race. We were specifically talking about marriage and having families. I love the opportunities and things that I have in my life right now, but I know there is something more- something that will only add to my happiness and the awesomeness of life’s journey. It is not a race to get married, have children, graduate college, buy a house, or anything else that sometimes appears like a competition. Life is not a race. Thanks Dave for the reminder :)

"Better a silly girl with a flower, than a silly boy with a horse and a stick."

I think of this quote when I am acting like a “silly” girl. Not the fun silly, but the why am I feeling crazy jealous or I must be more into him than I thought cause the thought of him with someone else makes me “crazy”.

Shredder! Today while Dave and I were studying on campus a girl walked by with huge holes and runs in her jeans and Dave called her shredder. He then told me that over the weekend one of his buddy’s was a on date and his date had “shredded” jeans and another buddy called her Shredder.

I know this is a rather random post, but enjoy!

Spring Spring Spring

Spring is officially here! I am excited! Here are some pictures of things that I think of when I think of Spring! This Spring I will ride my bike, play in the flowers, wear rain boots(love these!) wear cute dresses like this one, watch preseason baseball, hope for a super awesome Final Four, plus many more things and enjoy enjoy enjoy! What do you love about Spring? What are your plans?

Fun With Jessica

On Saturday I went to the Miss Spanish Fork pageant with my friend Jessica. It was so much fun laughing and playing with Jessica! I can't even remember the last time we did something. No matter how much time seems to past Jessica and I remain great friends with lots to talk about. She is the mother of two cute, fun kids. It's great to see friends make good choices and remain a positive influence for good in life. I am so grateful for true friends, who know me, love me, encourage me, and are there for me.
