God makes no mistakes

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

This handsome gentleman makes me the happiest girl on earth.
The End.

SL & EC ; This is for you.

 It officially has hit me that my best friend, Samantha- is getting married.
Why? Because I cried this morning. I'm hopeless & that's okay.

We've only known each other for over a year, but it feels so much longer than that. I have been through literally everything with this girl. Together, we have a way of knowing everything is going to be okay. Now, she's marrying the love of her life- Evan. Evan and her had their rocky moments, but truth is- whatever is meant to be will workout perfectly and that's what is happening for them. As her best friend, I am nothing, but happy for her. 

I will be with you, Sam & we'll do this together- even 23497845934739 miles away.
You will always be my best friend and I will always love you unconditionally.

I know 110% that this is what she wants- after all the fights, long distance conversations, letters, and disagreements.. they're still madly in love with each other.

I know Sam will make the perfect wife. She has always been Evan's number one fan.

I know Evan will always take care of Sam. I've seen him take care of her in person & he makes her the happiest girl in the world, just by a simple letter.

My advice for the both of them?
It will get hard. There will be moments where you ask yourself- did I really do this? Why did I do this? & when those thoughts pop in your head- I hope you go back to day one. The day you both became a couple, inseparable and each others' best friend. Continue to fall more in love with each other every day. Keep your faith even when it's shaking. You have two supportive families who will never stop loving the both of you. You both have your fans- your best friends. We'll never stop loving you. The key here is how much love you have between the two of you and everyone who loves you. Love will get you through & it's all that matters. I love you two, forever.

These fancy things will never come in between.

I'm the happiest girl.

I have met a bunch of people that I adore
& now, I don't know what I'd do without!
Jordan, Randy, Josh, Jason, & Brandon.
They're the funniest group of people-
never failing to put a smile on my face.

I re-did the furniture in my room.
There's so much more room! I'm loving it.
I just have to re-decorate it all, but I'll save that for a rainy day.

I haven't signed up for classes yet because of confusion on my account.
I contacted the people I needed to meet with and they're taking care of it for me. God is so good.

I'm going back to dancing- haven't decided on a team or studio yet.
So, we'll see!

I have a lot planned for the rest of this year.
I'm excited to see where life takes me.
I have the most incredible boyfriend,
supportive family and hilarious best friends.

Love my life.

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?

I just wanted to mention how much I admire strong couples and their beautiful, relationships and most importantly- trust & love. I look at young women like Allyce and see her still head over heels for a man- her husband, miles & miles away fighting for our country, regardless of living a few days or even months without him. I see Casey counting down the days, but still having the time of her life. I swear time flew by & that boy was back to holding her for a week or two. Not once had Casey ever doubted her relationship, not once had Allyce complained. I see high school sweet-hearts like Becca & Miles and Chelsea & Justin, who are still young & going strong. Then there's high school sweet-hearts like Carla & Colin who have been together for years and are getting married so soon, it's crazy- the good kind of crazy.

There's so many people who throw "I love you" around like it's a mass text, so many people who throw it all away, so many people who forget what love is really about. Whenever I forget, I think about the couples who I mentioned and how imperfect their relationship is, but how perfect their love is. It's real and I wish people would open their eyes to see that & take notes. I know I have. I won't deny that at all.

Love is...
-putting the other person before yourself
-wanting the person to be happy, regardless of your own happiness
-patient; always waiting and taking time, never rushing
-being yourself; not hiding anything
-trusting the other person to not break your heart
-loyal; your his one and only- there are no doubts
-silly; being able to laugh together at everything and even each other
-work; always willing to fix the problems at hand without leaving each other
-communication; openness & having no secrets
-happiness; the smile that will never wipe off your face
-beautiful; like the stars and the moon, nothing is more beautiful than being in love
-falling in love with each other over and over again, every day
-looking past someone's imperfections and still wanting to be with them
-fearless; no doubts, no regrets, just diving in head first to whatever is throw your way
-encouraging; always lifting the other person up
-funny; no matter what mood- you can make them laugh & even laugh at yourself
-thrilling; even if you're just holding hands
-confident; always believing in the other person
-strength; you'd rather fight with that certain someone than kiss someone else
-romantic; being head over heels every time you kiss
-willing; if you don't want to do something- you'll do it anyway for that certain someone
-forgiving; continuing to love them even if they hurt you

The list goes on & on, I just wanted to write this blog because I want people to know that there is hope, there is a fairy-tale love out there and that there is a certain someone out there for you. Don't settle for less than you deserve.

This is for Great Grandma, Jess, Jeff, & Timmy.

All the empty disappears.
I remember why I'm here.
Just surrender and believe.
I fall down on my knees.

Oh, hello world..

Life is so fragile & there's so much beauty in everything,
but not everyone has the courage to open their eyes.
Life is beautiful, even when it rains.

You find a way to replace my pain with love.

I think it must be the rain falling on my rooftop, puddles in the pavement, splashes from the tires of cars driving by, that has made me want to sit down, reflect on my life & talk to God.

This time, last year, I was sitting in Psychology class. It was my senior year and first year of not having my boyfriend, Tommy, at school with me. I was nervous about it, but God gave me the most beautiful, three friends a girl could ever ask for- Chelsea, Becca and Kristen. The times that I share with them are probably all in my top ten favorite high school memories.

The year before that, I was a junior- figuring out who I was and supporting my boyfriend, Tommy, as he conquered his senior year of high school. It was probably my hardest year. I lost my best friend the summer after Junior year. It destroyed me. My heart was in pieces on the hospital floor, saying bye to his handsome face. I had Melissa & Tommy though, who loved me- even when it was hard.

2 years ago, I was a sophomore. I was struggling with who I was at my old school. I couldn't figure out why I was at school. I didn't care about anything. I had Timmy by my side at school and that's all that really mattered to me besides barely passing my classes. I had a boyfriend, Austin, who I faced some struggles with in my life. The struggles weren't his fault. They were just challenges thrown my way that I had to face or runaway from. I kept choosing to run. I kept running and running until I ran into Tommy- who changed it all.

Today, I'm a high school graduate & freshman in college- living my life fearlessly. I may not have the same people in my life that I did in the past, but I am thankful for every memory that I've had with them. God has a way with situations. They're handcrafted and beautifully made. He has all the details painted out. I have found where I belong.

My life & feelings in pictures.

Everyone has their own definition of fearless. I think fearless is living life without those doubts, fears and negative thoughts holding you back. I think fearless is making someone realize how special they are even though they end up only being in your life for a short period of time. I think fearless is leaning in for a kiss despite what people say about that person. Fearless is finding your classes on the first day of college, even though you can't find a parking spot. Fearless is changing your life around for the better even if it means leaving certain people behind. Fearless is letting go of people who hurt you, despite wanting them in your life. Fearless is getting your blood drawn in hopes of getting better. Fearless is falling in love with someone & not judging them based on past relationships. I want to continue to live fearlessly.

It's not how many times you've been knocked down.

I have a lot happening these next couple of months and I am more than excited for this new chapter in my life. I'm signed up for college, getting a place of my own, changing up my own look, getting a car, working part-time and taking every day, one step at a time. I am so incredibly happy and so outrageously blessed.

It's how many times you get back up. :)
