new beginnings are always fun.

today i am thankful for my wedding dress.

am i weird?

it was A DREAM!

mom & dad:
thank you so much.
you guys made my wedding day
more memorable than i could have asked for.

i got to design my dress.
and it was MORE than i wanted and expected.

i want to wear it around the house,
to school and work,
and all over the place!

it's too bad that ain't currently the trend.


Here are some pictures for those who couldn't make it!

a letter to my valentine:

Trevor,
Happy Love Day!

This is by far my favorite holiday.

It's my first year having a legitimate valentine
who loves me & treats me like a princess.

It excites me to finally be together
for time and all eternity
with you.

I can't wait for all the
picnics,
hikes,
lazy sundays,
car shows,
home-made meals,
children,
and all other priceless memories we will continue to create.

You are my best friend,
and I am so proud to call you my hubby.

"Love is something eternal. The aspect may change, but not the essence."

Happy St. Valentines, folks!

I hope it's filled with nonstop
bliss & love being shared.

1 day.
or call it tomorrow, whichever you prefer.


i have constant butterflies,
anxiety,
and have been extremely shaky.

i love trevor's family,
and am so excited to call them my own.

i love my family,
and the support they have given me thus far.

i am no longer single tomorrow.
and that feels just great.

i'm also so thankful for the gospel.
without it..
i couldn't be together forever with the one i love.

had i followed my own selfish feelings one short year ago,
and not listened to what God was trying to tell me,
i am certain i would be miserable right now.

thank you all for your love and support.
words can't comprehend the appreciation and emotions i feel.

tomorrow?
i'd love for you to join us.

i am thankful for the temple.

i received my endowment on saturday.
it was an amazing experience.

i am also getting sealed
to my other half
in two days.
eeeekkkk!

i have nearly every emotion i can possibly feel.
&& i can't wait to kneel at the alter and officially
be together forever with the one i love.

"Each temple is symbolic of our faith in God
and an evidence of our faith in life after death.
the temple is the object of every activity,
every lesson,
every progressive step in the Church."

-Russell M. Nelson

have you ever felt like you
are taking one step forward
and two steps back?

today was a beastly day.

i had some very crude things said to me this morning..
i drove to school,
cried my eyes out in the parking lot,
and sarcastically thought about running my car into a building.

i soon realized i couldn't go to school looking like gene simmons.
so i drove to trevor's,
cried on his shoulder,
and he helped me get rid of all the negativity.

when i finally felt decent enough to go to school,
i found out i got a bad grade on my bio test.
the very class i had to re-take.
the very class i studied for hours on.

i kept thinking i wasn't good enough.

per contra,
i knew it was the adversary trying to get me down.

i found myself resisting to let the advesary win,
and i changed my outlook.

god granted me another day
to live.
breathe.
succeed.
and be better.

why would i even take that for granted for one second?

this week,
three people
have asked where thankful thursday's went.

therefore..

i will be starting them up again.

after all,
i have so much to be thankful for.
why shouldn't I explicitly state my blessings?

today, i am thankful for school.

say whaa?

yeah.
i have been constantly thinking about my
lil' african siblings in Kenya
who don't have the opportunity to attend schooling.

and if they do..
they are very very lucky.

i am so thankful for schooling.
and so privileged to be an aggie.


i took it for granted for thirteen years,

but not anymore.
i am done complaining about school.
only boasting & working hard.

I am tremendously blessed.

this is exactly why i love him.

how can you not?

i am so so overdue.

i wanted to thank my family & franns
for the outstanding showers they threw for me.


who knew i had so much support in my life?

this is how i felt with every gift.
i got quite spoiled.

thanks to krista & roach..
some friggin cute cupcakes..

my beloved friends.

thank you for everything.
i adore all of you.

when we are feeling extra rebellious,

we go buy lotto tickets
throughout our road trips.

i was kind of disappointed
when i didn't win the powerball,
i really felt that one comin on.

on the other hand...

i won $2.
and trevor wouldn't even go get it for me.


holler!
