Life is Beautiful

Even in your lowest times you can find beauty. The sparkle of the stars, the dimple with the smile, the brightness of a flower, even the painted surface of a rock. But is the beauty enough to make you want to stay? Make you want to hold on a bit longer and see the rough times through? Does it make you say, "I want to wake up tomorrow morning just to see this again"?

It's the little things in life we miss while in our day to day maze and its the little things that get us through when we hit a dead end.  

They aint got Nothin' On You

Nothin' On You- B.o.B ft. Bruno Mars

Most rap songs sing about getting with ladies in the club, cheating on those ladies, livin' the thug life, and growing up in the hood. Don't get me wrong... most of them are super catchy and fun to listen to but they're composed of meaningless ramble. That's probably why I like this song so much.... its sweet. =)

How often do we have guys tell us that there are TONS of beautiful girls out there but 'they aint got nothin on us'? Ladies, if your man tells u that... hold on to that sucker... he's a keeper for sure.

Hawaiian Bucket List

Hawaii = Love of my Life.

I Love Hawaii so much! I am so grateful I got to have the opportunity to experience this beautiful place. It truely is a miracle. Constantly I have looked around at the tourists and realize that people spend thousands of dollars to come spend a week in paradise, when I spend probably about the same to stay here for over 3 months. I am such a lucky girl.

So, one day, when I was having a rough time... it happens, even in paradise... i called my wonderfully wise mother. Even though she knew how much I love it here, she opened my eyes to other options and possibilities. Such as going back to BYU-I, or going to UVU or BYU. I thought about each of those and applied just in case. But, little by little they all ruled themseles out. I am blessed to know that I am almost 100% sure I'm retuning to paradise this next fall. And im SUPER excited about it.

Anyways, during this time of contemplating life I realized that this could be my last time in Hawaii so I strived to make the most of my last days by making a Bucket List, documenting each experience with a picture. So... here are my Hawaiian adventures...
