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. [:
