A little over three months ago....

       I was flipping through some pictures a realized I never shared some memories. This fin little day may have been a little over three months ago, but it feels like just yesterday. Where in the WORLD September went, I have no idea. Back in September the nights didn't get dark until at least six or seven. The sunsets were absolutely amazing. I was just starting my last fall QTR at Pierce College ever. I was working at Starbucks and living the good life. It is amazing to me how in three months we can so easily forget the days that were so fun and exciting.

          It is also amazing to me that in three months things can changes as drastically as they did for me. I may be no where near where I was a little over three months ago, and right now may not be as fun. In these times of chaos, change, and growing are the times I lean on the lord and are reminded of his blessings. A little over three months ago I was blessed to spend quality time with my best friend and her wonderful family at the Puyallup fair. Here are some snap shots from our day long adventure. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A little over three months ago, my memories were sweet, special and ones I will never forget. Who knew I would end the year with such an interesting turn of events?! God has been a wonderful father and has provided me with wonderful memories. Until Later this week, I hope these pictures remind YOU of sweet memories and the beauty of Gods Wonders. 

Giving thanks in all circumstances.

        Well friends it has been a month. Literally it has really been a month. Ever since the beginning of October I have been going through a season of life. As much as I wish I could be open and honest and tell you all what is happening, I literally cannot, all you need to know is that God is allowing me to go through a season and boy is it a big one. I found this on Pintrest or something a while ago and this is literally what I need reminded of. 

       I do not know why I am going through what I am going through, nor do I really need to know. All I need to know is that God is a good father and that he could never give e more than I can handle. Through this trial in my life I will learn something I didn't before and grow even more in my faith.God has shown me where my true joy needs to be and that I cannot depend on things like money or the world to make me happy but him and him alone. Of course I have known this forever, but really people, how many times do we ACTUALLY believe it. 

       Lets remember this, GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. Can we even comprehend that? In all circumstances. So when your bank account only has $5.00 or your car stops working, someone in your family starts getting sick, you loose something important for you, you may not be in a relationship with anyone and feel lonely or maybe you are just done with it all. Remember 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 It is amazing how God is shaping my heart and mind into such a woman of God. I always think he is done with me, and then I remember he is never done. He never stops loving us and allowing us to grow. 

Hopefully the next post will be more detailed and fun, since it is my favorite holiday soon. Toodles for now and hope this post finds you all with a thankful heart and at a good place. 

Pumpkin Patch Palooza!

Happy Past-Halloween!
Hope you all had way too much fun!

I thought I would share (since it was just Halloween), my fun times at the Pumpkin Patch! It might have been dumping rain, but my Hunters, Northface and Umbrella allowed me to conquer everything in my path! Here are some of the best, funniest and cutest from the day! Enjoy fellow Washingtonians. 

 This is my favorite part, all of the adorable animals. So fluffy and so cute. 

 Well friends, this is the best part. Random Pictures. We do this every year and literally have no idea what they look like afterwards, with no re-takes allowed!! Embarrassing, but worth it.Go ahead, laugh. A lot. 

Until next time dear readers, until next time.....

Things I am LOVING right now. Fall Edition.

People, it is fall.

Not like, "Oh...hey...it's Fall." More like, "Wow, goodbye Summer, Fall is HERE."

So, because Fall is my favorite season. Ever. 

I thought I would do a Blog on the things I am loving right now.
 

Specifically as a Fall Edition. 

Here we go my readers, things I am LOVING right now...

Iced Pumpkin Spice from Starbucks. 

For my Starbucks Junkies, let me tell you a cheaper way to get what you love.....
Order a Grande Americano with 1 pump White Mocha, 2 pumps Pumpkin Spice and lite room.Pour half and half or non-fat up to the top and stir. Whip cream optional and it is usually at LEAST a dollar cheaper and it tastes VERY similar. Plus, you get an extra shot!

Infinity Scarfs.

Who doesn't love a good infinity scarf?
Especially when its is thick, warm and adorable?

Pictures of Leaves.

They don't last long so I am loving them as much as I can.

Starbucks Reusable Cup.

Taylor Swift Red Album.

Who doesn't love Taylor Swift? As I drive through all the beautiful colors this CD just so happens to be on repeat, no big deal. Just one of my favorite things right now....

Fall Decorating.
Remember, I am a poor college kid, so the cheaper the better right? HELLO. I love cheap crafts that look awesome. Like this, warm and cozy, just like fall.

Matthew 11:28-30.
All of these things I love, just as much as I love sparkly things. Although, this is timeless and brings me the TRUE joy I need to make it through. Especially when times get crazy. As my schedule gets crazier...this I cling to.

Until tomorrow, the next day, next weekend or maybe just next time. I hope you think about the things you love, before they leave.
