Blessings

Hey! Jeez, I once again, failed at keeping up with my blog posts. Lets see...Oh! I do have some exciting news. I got a job last month! It was definitely a God send. He's been showing me the last several months that he has my path layed out for me, and all I have to do is trust him. Gaa, sometimes that's easier said than done, especially if you're as impatient as I am. lol I was hoping to have had a job several months ago, but I can see now that God had the right job for me at the RIGHT time. I think that's a struggle a lot of people have, I know I do, is knowing that God has you where you are for a reason and even if you don't understand why, it's important to TRUST him amd know that he is taking care of you. :)

My best friend's wedding..(not the movie)

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned in an earlier post that my dearest friend Ashlyn was getting married! Well, the wedding bells were rung, and down the aisle she went, and now she's a Mrs. :) It's so crazy that it's already been nearly a week since the beautiful day! It was such a beautiful wedding, and I was thrilled to be a part of it. I wish I had taken more pics of the wedding weekend, but here are a few of the ones I did manage to snap as we were all getting ready. Enjoy! :)

It seems like weddings have been going on all around me this year! haha Several of my friends have gotten married, and are getting married here soon. I love the creativity I see in each wedding, and how the personalities of the couple comes through in the wedding details. Seeing so many of my friends getting married has definitely given me a lot of great ideas for my big day, whenever that may be...It's in God's hands, and I'm definitely excited for my future prince charming. :)

The fun of being girls. :)

A few days ago, I went with my lovely friend, Tirzah, to go get her ears pierced for the first time. She's getting married (yay) in a few months, so she wanted to have earrings for that. I've had my fair share of piercings, so it was fun to go and see her get them done. :)

Goodbye...for now!

Last week my good friend Brenna left for Texas with her husband Chase. Chase has music connections out there, and so that's why they left so he could get his music going. I miss her already, but at least they aren't planning on being there for THAT long. I hope not at least!
We got some good hang out time in before they left, so that was nice. :)

Sorry the picture isn't the best quality. My camera kinda sucks. lol

Overdue..

Dang, I haven't been good at keeping up with my blogging!

Well, I won't attempt to remember all the happenings in my life over the past couple weeks, so I'll just fill you in on my lovely day today.

This morning, my sis and I went on a little hike. It was nice since a lot of the hike was in the shade. It;s been miserably hot lately, so hiking in the afternoon isn't really an option! lol

Later on we broke out my Henna kit and had fun with that. I've never used Henna before, so it was a learning experience. I think I would be one of those people who, after getting one tattoo would keep on getting more, so I'll stick with Henna. I know I would get bored with the same 'ol tattoo, so it's good for me to have the power to change it if I want! haha

This evening I hung out with my buddies Brenna and Elizabeth, and we played the game "connect". It was fun! Elizabeth's husband, David came after a bit and played it with us. Fun day!

Oh! I do have some exciting news though. One of my good friend, Tirzah just got engaged! Lots of weddings, and engagements have been going on lately. It's so crazy! lol My sis and I are starting to feel left out, but we keep reminding ourselves that we have the rest of our lives to be married, so we should enjoy our singleness. lol..... ;)

Ah, I keep coming up with more things to talk about!...I suppose that's a good thing? I've been in a crafty mood lately, and the only things I've really had on hand is stuff to make jewelry, but I did enjoy making some pretty headbands! It's definitely a lot cheaper making them yourself rather than buying them. That's if you hit all the right sales, of course. ;) I've also been having fun experimenting with makeup. I think I have a slight addiction to the stuff! I found this brand called e.l.f (eyes, lip, face) and I really like a lot of their stuff, and it's REALLY cheap too, which is always a bonus. ....I didn't make the robot ring, I just found it, and thought it was too cute to pass up! lol

If any of you are stumped on what to read this summer, I highly recommend reading, "Heaven is For Real" by Todd Burpo. It's an amazing true story! I have only recently started reading the book, but I've heard their story on T.V and it's incredible! Go read!

Finally! :)

So, today, after many months of searching, and saving, I bought my first car! lol I call it my granny car since practically the only people I see on the road with these are older people. :) I named her Bertha, named after my great grandma. haha

God is definitely faithful to provide the things we need, and I'm thankful he brought me this car...I'm totally gonna make the granny car cool with the younglings! ;)

Beautiful Colorado

Just got home from a lovely hike with some friends. We went at the perfect time, escaping the afternoon heat. It's the first time I've been on this trail. I'm surprised I haven't been there before. I totally fail at being from Colorado. lol you'd think I'd know where every hiking spot is by now. haha

That lizard was so kind to pose for me. :)

The rock tried to eat me...

Farmer's Market.

So, I started out my day with a fruit whey protein shake. I've been on a fruit smoothie kick! Then later for lunch I had a salad, and some Greek god yogurt. I'm obsessed with this stuff. lol

My friend Amanda wanted to get some girls to go down to our local farmers market, and walk around in summer dresses, so we did! Fun evening, and I'm up way too late. Some of us are going on a hike tomorrow morning, so that should be fun. Man, it's been way too long since I've been hiking, and it's sad since I enjoy it so much. Hopefully I'll start going more the rest of the summer.

Before the downtown fun, I wanted to get some more stuff organized in my room. I still have plenty of storage left in my new desk, so I'm having fun organizing. I definitely got a steal with this desk at goodwill!
lol So while I was cleaning my room, I popped in my comfort movie, the Lord Of the Rings. (the extended versions of course) I only made it through a little bit of the movie though. haha :)

Well, my bed is calling me, so goodnight! :)

Latests doings

The other day picked up my bridesmaid dress for my dearest friend Ashlyn's wedding that's in a couple months. I love it! It's very comfortable, as well as beautiful. Here's a picture from David's Bridal of the dress, doesn't really do it justice though.

I can't believe she's getting married! We've been friends fro over 10 years now. She's marrying an awesome guy though, and I've actually known him for a really long time too. Our parents went to college for a while together. Just goes to show how little the world is! haha :)

Fun evening

Just got home from Kaleo. It was different because they had it in the chapel since they had technical difficulties in the main auditorium. Nate, the pastor, always does a good job teaching, and I always enjoy and get something out of his sermons. The worship there is awesome too, and I've just recently joined the team! I'll be singing there next month. One thing I've always struggled with is singing in front of people, but I know that's what God has called me to do, and the nerves is the devil trying to hold me back, so I just keep praying that God would tear those stronghold's that have kept me from fully letting my heart reach my voice. :)

On a different note, I'm all excited because I've been in the middle of a room remodel. My mom made some awesome curtains, and canopy for my bed, and we found an amazing desk with a hutch at goodwill at an awesome price, so my room looks awesome!...Or will soon, once it's cleaned up. ;)

I'll put some pics up later of my room once it's all fixed up.

Have a lovely day!

New Day

Hey, there bloggers!

I finally started my blog! Hopefully I'll be diligent in posting things regularly.  I've followed my good friends Brenna and Elizabeth on their blogs for a while, and they convinced me to start one, so here it is! I'm still getting it all put together, so I'll blog some more in a bit! :)
