My life is a children's book.

"And why would she be sad? After all, the little girl had two houses, two beds, and two sets of people that loved her"
-------------------------------------------

I don't think they've invented a number yet, that's even kind of close to how many times I've heard those sweet words. You see, in my childhood, that book was my favorite thing on planet earth. That's because it wasn't always easy having two homes. And there were times when I wondered "why me" and times when i envied my friends of simpler backgrounds. While the adversary always made a convincing case, that God put me through this because he couldn't see me, I know now, that actually, it's because he saw me ridiculously clearly. and he knew that I needed this to grow, to learn, to become better,and to be happy.

I feel so blessed to have had a chance to see the world through so many different sets of eyes. to have grown up with so many different traditions and memories. To be so loved, and accepted into families that I don't genetically belong to. But most of all, to have had the blessing of heartache and trials early on in my life. It taught me that I could do hard things, and how to have compassion on others. It helped me to have humility, and to never try to do this thing alone. I don't know what my life would be like if things were different, and I don't want to. Being loved and supported as much as I am, and having not only one but two safe places to call home, is the greatest blessing i could have asked for. I love both of my families so much and there's nothing better than getting to belong to them both.

It's time to begin, isn't it?

2012.......

 It was beautiful! but imagine dragons,  as usual, you are so right! 2013 is here, and just like 2012 it's sure to be another crazy, hard, splendid, scary, happy beautiful adventure! It's crazy think about it. In one years time I'll be a SENIOR at Lehi High School,who knows what will be happening or where I'll be, but  too quote  Mads yet agian,

     

    "The less time I spend scared, and worried, the less time I'll be consumed by it. And the more time I'll have to make memories. The present was once my future too. And I dreamed about how amazing it would be. I'm gonna do my younger self a favor and make this the best time of my life. Anyone wanna join me? Let's go have some fun. Let's laugh. Let's serve. Let's make new friends. Let's live like there IS a tomorrow. And that it will be another day to be happy, to reach new goals, and to have new experiences."

she is so wise! It's time to try new things, to fix old habits  to live and laugh and love and just be so happy! Life is a series of adventures! And I can't wait for the next one! Happy new year darlings!
