A new day.






So today is a new day.
A day to begin again.
To start fresh.
To forgive yourself and try again.
So please be gentle with yourself today.
Give yourself credit for trying and try again.
Never give up.
I believe in YOU.




Did you know that my shoes look like alien eyeballs? Neither did I until today....








I made my headband wilst bored at work on Saturday.
Miss Lisa you will appreciate it is made from vintage sheets....
Now Sunday was a good day.
A beautiful talk by the Sister Kristin Lee.
She will be serving her mission in San Diego California, I am so excited and proud of her!! I was her EFY counselor once upon a time and I am still on of her sisters best friends.
I sat in Church listening to Kristin speak with a cute little Treyden in my lap snuggling his auntie Kara and had a moment of pure gratefulness....
I am grateful for this amazing family who so freely loves me and shares their cute little boys with me.
I am grateful for a testimony of the gospel.
I am grateful for all the amazing friends I have. And seriously I have the MOST amazing friends!
And now for an awkward moment of that day.
Bailey my roommate ( pictured below) came with me up to Calgary.
When i went to pick her up at her home I was visiting with her mom and dad and siblings...
and sitting at the kitchen table was her 3 bachelor uncles all over the age of 40.
So I am visiting with her mom and answering her questions and feeling 3 pairs of eyes in the back of my head s-t-a-r-i-n-g.... I keep telling myself this is all just in my head.
No one actually stares at people right?
Still feeling really awkward and wanting to leave asap.
we finally get in the car and Bailey bursts out laughing!
she says: my uncles have never acted like that!
At this point I am turning every color of the rainbow....pink, purple, indigo...
I don't think I have been that embarassed in awhile....
For the remainder of the ride home everytime Bailey looks at me she starts to giggle... great so glad I could be the entertainment!
Oh and this picture was taken right after the policeman left my car.
Note: yellow paper= speeding ticket!
