BLESSED

do you ever have those moments of life when you feel completely content with where you're at and who you are and what you've made of yourself? tonight is going to be one of those nights that i go to bed and fall asleep feeling just, at peace. 

sunday's are so one hundred percent PLEASANT in my book! it's the day i wake up easy and slow, lay in my husband's arms for a few sweet moments and THEN after all of that beautiful relaxation i take a breath, and step off the "right-side" of the bed. then we go about making/ eating breakfast together (which is always a messy adventure) and get ready for church. FINALLY after a crazy hectic week, the world slows down for three glorious hours when i get to spend some time with my "excess" family. we have the most incredible ward. i, along with many other warm and welcoming people, belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. my rexburg married student ward consists of some of the MOST warm and welcoming people i've ever met. it truly is an HONOR to learn from these individuals and to see their examples and struggles and victories. my husband and i, in our short nine months of living here, have come to form relationships that will last the rest of our lives, AND BEYOND! i am so blessed to feel the charity that resides in this church, and in it's members. 

i don't live a glamorous life! i live a teeny tiny town, in a one bedroom apartment, wearing clothes that i bought in high school, studying art! the world might say that i haven't made much of my life or that i don't have much going for me, but i beg to differ. 

i feel strong! i feel like i can conquer anything that i put my mind to! i feel BLESSED. i have an  amazing family, i've been given friendships that have changed my life, i have a husband that loves me whole heartedly for who i am, including every imperfection and mistake that i make. i have the opportunity to grow and learn and become the woman that i dream of being!

yep... it's been a good day :) i'll sleep soundly tonight on GRATITUDE
