A Dream Come True In The Making

Hello hello! This is probably the happiest post I have posted on here since starting my blog. I am sure most of you know by now that your prayers and thoughts on my behalf were felt, heard and reached because I have been officially accepted to BYU! Third times the charm right? Holy cow, I still can't believe it but Heavenly Father sure has watched me grow over the past year and sees the desire in my heart and I think he knows that I am finally ready for another change. It is amazing how we get just to the point of breaking, losing our way and giving up and then he appears in our lives as blessings and answers to prayers. I have truly started to feel lost recently and now this is a new light and a new hope for me. This is just another testament to me that hard work, perseverance and keeping your eye towards the goal really does pay off...and it is the best feeling ever! So, thank you thank you thank you to all who have loved and supported me through it all! It really is one of my biggest dreams coming true.

Now let's see, so much has happened it is hard for me to even remember what I was going to write about. I was able to travel back down to Utah again for Chloe and Seth's wedding. It was so beautiful and I am truly so happy and honored to have been there and a part of their special day. I have never seen Chloe so happy and beautiful, she was radiating. I kept thinking in my mind, "Dang! I hope I look that good when I get married!". I even got teary eyed during the ring ceremony because I saw just how happy they are together. It made me so happy for them and I will be so fortunate to find someone who will make me just as happy as they are. I can't wait for that day :) Congrats Seth and Chloe!

 Look at this beautiful sunset I captured about a week ago! The west side of the U.S. sure has some amazing sunsets.

 This is what a typical day of homework and studying looks like for me. We are starting to throw in Hot Chocolate since it is getting colder here in Rexburg.

 The night before we left for Utah, Hannah decided she wanted to dye her. I was so proud of her for two reasons: 1. She trusted me enough to let me do it. That is a huge thing for her so I was pretty pleased with myself :) and 2. She has only ever gotten it done in a salon. Her hair is her baby so I was proud of her for taking a risk!

 She is going to kill me for posting this but hopefully she doesn't see ;) By the way, her hair turned out beautiful.

We had to throw in some muffins after our hair dying adventure. They were delicious!

 Hannah is obsessed with McDonalds, so of course we had to stop and get some on our way out to Utah.

 Look at how happy this couple is!

 And of course, you can't forget to decorate the newlyweds car!

Another beautiful sunset in Utah.

 Maple Mountain.

 It is so fun to watch the Presidential Debates here on campus. I love all the commentary and random yelling and clapping I get to hear while watching. It makes the debates that much greater!

 I had to add another throwback. For those who know me know that I LOVE cookies. They are my favorite dessert next to ice cream. It all started young...

 With the stunning bride! Doesn't that dress just fit her like a glove?!

 I burnt my bagel this morning :( That has never happened to me before! It was a very sad and lonely morning for my stomach.

The BEST news received in a long time :D
