happy in the present

I used to wish I had a cute husband and babies to blog about. Or adventures around the world. Or beautiful crafts I make. Or savory food I put together. But I am happy with the simple college life I live. I have learned through out my days that it is so important to be happy where you are! Life seriously flies by, so why be wrapped up in all your wants and wishes when tomorrow is just around the corner? I am blessed every day with wonderful friends, loving family, beautiful surroundings, and good health and I am learning to be happy right where I am :)

Heres a little bit of what I have been up to as of late:

 pure bliss on the ranch

"getting things done"

I stayed home from the Beach House concert tonight in Salt Lake to "get things done." What in the world does that even mean? This is the list I made for myself...

-Send erin a card
-buy watermelon
-DO LAUNDRY
-write in journal
-read scriptures
-get library card
-pick up la jolla name-tag
-set up la jolla payments
-finish catcher in the rye
-go on a run
-buy a new journal
-blog? (lawls)
-order new checks
-change pin number
-pinterest craft ideas
-call Kailey
-make CDs

Lengthy list. Sheesh. I really dont even know who I have become skipping a concert for any of the above activities!

Any-who...


I dropped Maddie off at the airport today after 4 glorious days in the sun with one of my best friends. We ate snow cones, swam in the pool, celebrated America's birthday, hit golf balls with handsome men, saw the beautiful temple in Salt Lake and last but not least ate everything in sight that was not good for us. What more could you ask for right?

Li hing mui!
