Simplicity

"You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
Psalm 16:11

Thankful :)

Whew! What a day. I'm finally in my bed and relaxing from a busy day of school and work, and thinking about how truely thankful for the life God has blessed me with. He has placed so many special people in my life that I have NO idea what I would do without them. My parents, my brother, my friends, my love, my extended family, my roomates, my co-workers, my family-to-be, and so many more! They have each impacted my life in such a positive way and I can't help but just feel thankful!


My Dad and Mom! Don't even know what I would do without them in my life. They have taught me so much and loved me through it all! I couldn't be more thankful for them!


My brother Jon! My best friend growing up and my only classmate ;) That's the joy of being homeschooled.


I don't even know how to describe how truely thankful I am for this guy right here! He's the guy who loves me when I am at my best and my worst. Who wouldn't love a guy like that ;)


Roomates!! These are the girls that can put a smile on my face when I come home from a rough day at athletic training. So thankful to be living with such Godly and beautiful women!


Amy and Andrew! I've known them since I was 9 and consider them my other brother and sister! So many memories over the years! :)





FRIENDS!!! :)

Life is good.

1st Birthdays, Dresses, and Family :)

Oh my goodness, so much has happened since my last blog. School is in full swing complete with classes, homework, clinicals, work, wedding planning, bible study, discipleship, and church. So far I love all of my classes. I'm currently taking Exercise Physiology II, Athletic Training Administration, Athletic Training Clinical Practicum IV, Nutrition in the Life Cycle, and Pharmacology. Since it's only week 3, I'm still pretty motivated to stay on top of homework and projects.
I did, however, have the past weekend off for Labor Day and decided to jet down to Denver to spend some quality time with all my favorite people.

After working a full day of Softball practice and a Volleyball game, I drove down to Jon's sister's house to celebrate Jovian's 1st birthday!! Here are a few pics from the festivities.






The adorable birthday cheesecake. So yummy!



On Sunday, Jon and I went to church and decided to bake a cake for dessert after lunch. We made a gluten-free white cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate drizzled on top. It was delicious! We also spent most of the day hanging out with his nephews and family.

On Labor day I met my parents in Denver. This was the first time I had seen my parents since I had gotten engaged. Needless to say, it was a very needed visit! I got to show off my ring, brag about my cute fiance, and of course.........
TRY ON WEDDING DRESSES FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! Yay!!! It was so fun and I'm so thankful that I got to have that experience with just my mom and dad first. Unfortunately, I can't share any pictures with me in the dresses because I don't want Jon to see, but I will share this one of my mom and I outside of David's Bridal. :)



After trying on around 20 different dresses, my parents and I headed to meet Jon and his parents for lunch. It was the first time both of our parents had been together since we had gotten engaged. :) Overall it was a wonderful weekend!

And now I'm back to good ole Greeley and the insane schedule of getting up at 5:30am and go go go until about 8pm everyday. Haha oh well, life is good and I can't complain. :)

P.S. Quick little fact...

I am getting married to my best friend in 283 days!!!!!! AHHHHH! ;)
