Christmas crafts have begun. [:

I made a wreath! Ornaments and bow were all found at the dollar store. Then I got a Styrofoam circle from porters, and some tulle and made a snowy winter-y wreath. Super easy and not too expensive. Just thought I'd share with ya guys. [:

This is what happiness is.

I am extremely happy today.
Maybe its because I feel healthy again
Maybe its because my newly remodeled room is clean
Maybe its the smell of my favorite febreeze scent.  (spelling?)
Maybe its the fact I have so many decorating Ideas for our apartment
Maybe its that I love the ring on my left hand's ring finger [:
Maybe its that I found spotify and have listened to good music all day
Or maybe its just because I get Garth forever. [:

For whatever reason I am so blissfully happy. My photographer canceled on me and I don't even MIND! Garth and I are taking a trip to the thrift store, and we are going to bake something. I don't know what yet. Then I'm going to get ahead on some homework.

Mostly I just want to share a thought with all of you.
I was thinking last week all about my life (big surprise I know...I'm always self-reflecting) , how much its changed, and what all my plans for myself have been. Its funny where your plans meet with reality. I'm so very happy right now, and so incredibly content. However, in all honesty, Garth was not part of the plan. Its funny how little we know ourselves compared to how well our heavenly father knows us. So grateful his plans are what happened in my life. I mean don't get me wrong, my plans were great. I would have been very successful. But I'm also learning I would have been miserable. This path makes me so much more happy, and feel so much more fulfilled. I just didn't know that then. Thats the great thing about the gospel. When you live it, you can feel a sense of direction in your life. And when you find a path, its not that you're letting go of anything you want or sacrificing your own needs, its that you're simply discovering something you want more, and need for your personal happiness. Grateful for a heavenly father who knows me and was looking out for me. Grateful for parents who taught me to rely on him and to never settle. Grateful for a fiance who is more than I could ever dream for myself. Grateful for siblings who are the only friends I have ever really needed in this life. And grateful for the opportunity to grow as life keeps going!

Loving life guys. Hope you are too. [:

So its been quite an interesting week here in Rexburg
Started it off on Sunday with kyles talk at church and the linger longer after.
My roommate was sick that day and threw up twice so we just had a Lord of the Rings movie night that night.
Monday was class as usual.
Tuesday I worked and then I stayed up till 5am catching up on hw because I wanted time to focus on wedding stuff..So all my homework was done till Friday!
Then Wednesday I kept planning on sleeping but instead I rearranged my room did some group work and went apartment shopping. Garth and I signed a contract for a cute little two bedroom apartment (: so excited Haha. Then I had enough time to go home and sleep for a bit before work. However when I woke up I  knew I was sick. So I hurried and made Garth dinner before I called in work. As soon as I finished his tacos it was off to the bathroom.
Long story short I was throwing up from 6:30-2:00am. My lovely fiance counted 29 times. Lol. I'm sharing this because I want to express gratitude for Garth. After seeing me run to the bathroom and hear me throw up many times, to watching me crawl to the bathroom, all the way to eventually just holding a bowl for me as I became more and more dehydrated he still comes around! Haha. He even took me to the hospital at 2 and held me while I threw up in the middle of the ER. then he listened to them talk about my digestive system and cramps for a good 10 minutes and watched as they hooked me up to the IV. Then he drove me home..got me a gatorade, some sprite, and water. Plugged in my heat pad and tucked me in bed at about 4am. Such a sweet boy. Glad he still loves me after seeing me at my worst.

Today...all day

Today it rained...all day.
Today I walked everywhere ...all day.
I woke up early to actually spend time on my hair only to realize when I left that I should have just left the bed head and slept in. The never ending breeze and big drops of h20 invented a hairstyle all their own.
In my first class, with the teacher I despise, I actually defended the teacher I despise. One student would not stop arguing about pointless things in the reading. I finally had to raise my hand and politely point out all the ways he had been wrong. I also wanted to teach him that to win any argument you must come up with something better than stating the same point in various orders and sentence styles. However I refrained... and I don't think he was mad at me. The teacher, whom I despise, smiled at me though. (:

This weekend we get engagement pictures. Cross your fingers the rain stops and my cold goes away! Wedding planning continues slowly but surely. And house hunting inches ahead slower than a snail. But progress is progress my friends.

I still have the best fiance. He eats at my house everyday even when I'm too busy to cook with him...and never complains. Hes also brought me flowers not once...but twice!! Love him a lot a lot. (:

Anyhow just felt like writing for a bit..hopefully soon I will have engagements!!
