things that are making me happy!

This!! is what I am blogging on and it is sitting in my family room! I love it. I just sit and look at it and want to play with it. Mine mine mine! Before you think I am a spoiled little stinker :) I will tell you that I have been saving my money like a crazy woman to buy this guy. Mine and Brig's new best friend.


Nail Polish! I am a diagnosed chronic nail biter guys. But for the past two weeks I have been defying the odds and letting them grow! I paint those suckers so I don't bite them because who wants to bite such cuteness?

The temple! My friend Hannah is getting married in a couple weeks and we went with her as she went through the temple. What a wonderful thing that they can be together forever! And they have fake wedding pictures tonight! Those are the best :)

Making memories with my family. Hiking the Grand Canyon with my papa and sister was so much fun and we all just got to talk and laugh together. What a wonderful family I have!

My awesome life! Seriously guys, I am feeling great about life today. Maybe it's the warm weather? I am a happy girl. Despite some downs, life is full of beautiful ups.

One time, I was talking to my dad about a co-worker of his who had lost his son. This man said to my dad-" happiness used to be my ocean and sadness were the little specks of land every here and there. Now, grief is my ocean, and happiness only comes once in a while."

Isn't that terribly sad? I would never wish anyone to have oceans of sadness in their life. How blessed I am to know that everything-all my hurt and yours- will be made right in the end. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He gives me oceans of happiness while allowing me to learn from the islands of grief.

Now, what makes you happy?!
