I should get paid for being AWESOME

I just spent the morning on this lovely website that I am now addicted to!! its polyvore.com 


You get to look at thousands and THOUSANDS of fashion tops, skirts, jeans, pants, dresses, accessories, jewelry, and bags! but thats not the best part!! You can create your own looks and put them all on a page, just like you see in magazines! 


I must say that i'm expecting a call from Vogue, or Cosmo because my outfits are to die for!! Tell me if you don't think I should take up the fashion business!? :)








I had SOO much fun putting these together! i want every single one of these outfits! tell me what you think!

Only Ray of Sunshine in a Thunderstorm

It saddens me that there are so many people that are unhappy out there. They're unhappy with their marriage, they're unhappy in their career choice, unhappy in their life choices, and so many other things. And although this makes me so sad to see people for are miserable,  I am SO SICK and TIRED of that whole "misery loves company" crap! These people feel the need to share their unhappiness and make sure the those around them feel just as sad and down as they do!

I am trying everything in my power to prepare myself for my life, I am working hard in school, in my job, and with my fiance to MAKE my life happy.

Happiness is a choice! so choose to get over yourself and do something to fix your marriage, your career, your life!



I just wish people would share more sunshine than rainstorms...



till next time :)

Saturday In The Library

So today I felt like a real college student! I was in the library from 2-8! HOLY COW right?! ugh...haha the funny thing is I still don't feel like I could tell you I did very much. hah. I think I watched a couple music videos...and stared at my projects until the writing on the paper began to resemble a different language...but other than that I still feel like I have TONS to do!

Is there anyone out there that actually LIKES studying?!

SoOo...

I asked Levi to send me a picture of himself today, because I was asked to model for someone's photography final up at school. The theme is "Things We Love"

Some people are bringing their guitars, their paint brushes, holding their pets...etc. I decided I wanted a blown up picture of the thing I love most...LEVI! The picture he sent was ADORABLE! Look at it!! You can't help but love that face...not to mention he looks way buff and smoking HOT! ...yeah I know...I did pretty good for myself. haha!



Ah! I love it! I look forward to getting creative with the photographer, Chris Luke, and seeing what the final outcome is!

well, there's not much more to report today... :) my song today is dedicated to my sweetheart! its by Ray Lamontagne, he's a cool dude, and these words tell how i feel about my love. <3 check it out!




You are the best thing

It snowing outside...so it doesn't exactly feel warm...BUT I feel its going to be a good day.

SOO...
I can't start a blog and NOT put up my wedding ideas! haha! I actually made a power point to show Levi on Skype, he thought it was amusing, but I had to lay it out so I could see my vision start to come to life.



Now this isn't by any means final! I would L-O-V-E suggestions! but here's what I have going so far!


These are the colors i'm thinking!

I want all kinds of shades of gray, and most of all....LIME GREEN!


I want the Wedding Cake to be like the one on the top left corner. White with pearls and gray ribbon on the bottom of each layer, but i want to put limes in between the layers of the cake like the bottom pictures!


I'm leaning towards the top bouquet :)


Okay...So what im gonna do is make wreaths our of coffee filters and string light in them, then place them on a gray table cloth. Then i'm wanting to fill up vases full of limes in water and place those in the middle on the wreaths...ya? what do you think?
K I love  Japanese lanterns, so i'm thinking i'm either going to do green ones from the ceiling, or i'm going to make those tissue paper pom palms...(levi likes the pom palms more)
Levi is going to look SO good when he puts on his gray suit with a brilliant green tie! YUM! i'm trying to convince to wear some sweet Vans with the whole ensemble...he could pull it off and look awesome!
There are my ideas! I love wedding planning! I just wish the date wasn't so far away! ugh...


AnyWays...


This song for the day is Alice by Avril Lavigne...now i've never been a fan of Avril...hah I think she is terrible 99% of the time, but i'm diggin this song! Link is below :)

My sister talked me into this...

So i was talking to my sister today after a small meltdown I had, about my life standing still and everyone around me moving forward. She told me that writing and getting my thoughts out there in the open would be therapeutic. I didn't fully believe her, but then again, what's it gonna hurt to try huh? :) so here's my first post...

Dear self,

What do I need to do to make me feel like my life is actually going somewhere!? Everyone around me is married, has a career, or just got their mission call to a foreign country to preach the gospel.

I was sitting in a friend's living room today as everyone crowded around her to see open up a very important letter, that would tell her where she was going to serve as a missionary for the next 18 months. As everyone was so excited to hear she was going to Chile, I felt lost in the commotion. I've been just existing for the past 7...almost 8 months while everyone around me is moving forward. Its like running on a treadmill, here i am, sprinting my heart out, but i feel like i'm going no where. I want to have a career, I want to open a letter telling me I've been called to serve as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I want to be married and be able to live for someone else. I keep making friends that have their lives figured out, and as they go on with their exciting new adventures, I'm left standing in the same spot.

I've kinda felt down, and just blah this whole semester, and I think thats why. I'm not happy standing still. Not when there's a whole world out there for me to experience. I feel like my whole life has been in a constant state of waiting for he next step. I waited for high school to come, I waited to finally graduate high school, now I'm waiting for my fiance to come back from Iraq...

What do I need to do? How do I live in the present so I feel like I'm not just wasting my time waiting? These are things I need to figure out....hah, but how.

I do have a strong belief that music speaks all kinds of emotions, and there is always a song out there that can relate...my song for this post is Mad World by Adam Lambert. Love his voice! talented guy, kinda weird, but the song is simply amazing! a link is at the bottom :)


Mad World (Acoustic Live) < Enjoy!


Til Next Time...
