I'm Back

Hello little bloggy world. I have missed you. Have you missed me?
Enough of the silliness. It has been way to long. I mean APRIL! Really?!?! This week has been crazy with going back to school and such. It is also the official end to our summer. Sad face. I really love summer and I don't really feel like we took full advantage of the beautiful weather and lack of homework. But I can't go back and change it now, can I?
We did do some fun things and now you get to see them all. Get ready... Picture Overload!

The summer kicked off with my brother graduating from high school. It was a lot of fun. This is the whole Young gang. Finally a pic of us all together.

Then I got crafty. I made this chalkboard with an outdated painting that was left in our house when we moved in. It turned out really good and it is so much fun to write on.

We had a couple BBQ's at our house. We also did a campfire and roasted some mallows. This is Ellie isn't she a doll?!

Red white and blue drink for the 4th

We had an awesome 4th of July. We spent the whole morning with my family having a BBQ and playing volleyball in the backyard then we went to the usual Pettingill spot to watch the fireworks.

We had an awesome opportunity to go zip-lining at Heise Hot Spring. I work there so my boss was really great in getting us a time to go. We had a blast!

Well those are the little fun things that we did. We also went on two different trips and celebrated our 2nd anniversary. I will do separate posts for those. 

Reminiscent

Landon and I have been married for 1yr 9months. We got engaged in March of 2012. (to read the rest of the story go to this post) It was magical and surreal when it happened. I love to look back on all of the experiences that have happened in my life. Here is a little peak into the moment Landon popped the question and I said YES of course. 

I am so glad that I have this moment in pictures. Thanks to my sister-in-law Missy for the pictures.

I woudn't change a thing

This weekend we were able to attend the wedding of some very good friends of ours and it has made me think about the night Landon and I got engaged 2 years ago and the short year and a half that we have been married.

I have never believed that there is one specific person out there for everyone, like sole mates. I believe that in all reality, I could have married a number of people and been very happy. But what I do know is that Landon and I fit so perfectly. We get each other. One thing that I loved about Landon's and my relationship from the beginning was that we just understood each other. We didn't have to try and fit into the other person's world, we just belonged there. 

We have the same dreams for our future and we support the dreams that the other person has. Our life is definitely not easy. We have the same problems and trials as any one rise up as any college couple. We are the epitome of the poor college students. Despite the fact that we don't have much in the way of material things, we have more than enough love and support to go around. That sounded so cheesy when I typed that but I can't think of another way to say it. Our love is enough. I love Landon more now than I could comprehend when we got engaged, or even when we got married. We have learned so many things and grown in multiple ways and all while being there for each other. Marriage has been the most rewarding and most difficult thing that I have have even done. I wouldn't change my life for anything.

Perspective

Well hello everyone. Not a lot has been going on lately but I have felt so busy.

School is getting crazy. I do so much homework everyday. It is hard to focus most of the time. I get distracted easily. I am craving sugar all the time and doing terrible at eating well. So terrible in fact that I have already had two candy bars today. TWO! Before noon!

I need a vacation. Somewhere where I don't have a care in the world.

On the bright side I only have four more weeks to go. I can do it.

It isn't about all the crazy things that are going on around us but it is about the little moments that really count.

This video helped me today to remember what really matters most.

I hope that you are all having a fantastic Thursday!

This week...

heart shaped pancakes on Valentines day.

How was everyone's week! Mine was good and I am so happy for a long weekend! No school Monday!
Ye Haw!! (sometimes I'm too country)
