A heart so full it could burst

As I'm currently laying on our mattress that we have laid out in the front room to watch breaking bad all night long, I can't help but feel overwhelmingly blessed. 

I have such a loving, patient, and funny husband who keeps me laughing. Really though how did I get him? Most days I still can't believe that we are actually married and that someday we are going to have our own little family. It's so reassuring to me to know that he is my eternal companion! I just feel like the luckiest girl. 

Our lives have already been so fulfilling and full of excitement. As well as stressful and far from perfect. I'm going back to school this fall for a completely different major than I have been planning for for the last 3 years. I'm so excited and know that I made the right decision. Collin has been so supportive of this and my rock through it all. 

We have healthy families! Really though this is so hard to come by I feel like we are sooo blessed in this way. Not to mention our families are the best! Obviously I love my family and think they are the greatest, but to have a second family and in laws that are phenomenal too, is yet another hard thing to come by. 

Where we live. I have realized I'm so not fit for the city. We went to Salt Lake Friday night and I couldn't wait to get home.  I love our little town and feel like we are in the best place in the world! It's so homey and safe.  Most people spend their time growing up here wanting to get out, but I don't think I could ever leave and be happy. Sure I hate the gossip, rumors, and people thinking they know everything about you and your family, but somehow I can't imagine life not here. 

We love our ward and our calling! Weston 1st Ward you have seriously won us over. I have never had a ward feel so much like home. This alone makes me want to stay in Weston forever! Nursery has been so fun too! I love watching them learn and grow from week to week. It's been so good for us!

I could go on and on forever, but I think I got my point across. I feel blessed and loved. Like I was discussing with some friends the other day, life comes in waves. One second you feel like the world is perfect, life is great you are so lucky and everything is going as planned. (For me it's usually when I'm driving with my windows down and music blasting and I get the thought, "life is good") Tomorrow could be completely different. Instead of loving the window down I could be driving and hating it down because it's messing up my hair. I could be down in the dumps tomorrow and that's okay. It's life. It's okay to feel like this one day and something else another. It doesn't necessarily make you any less grateful, it just means you are living. I want to soak in this so called living "high" while I feel it. And maybe remind you all to get a perspective on life. What's important and what's not. It's so easy to get wrapped up in worldly things. 



I'm too busy working on my own grass to notice if yours is greener. Love this so much! Quit comparing your life to other peoples "life" that you see on social media. Soak in your life. Realize that you too have so many things to be thankful for!
