AUTUMN: 5 things that make me realize how much I {LOVE} life.

{ONE} My puppy!

Even though Roxii isn’t technically a ‘puppy’ I still see every dog as a puppy regardless of how old it is. My little GiRL just turned 3 years old last month and she is seriously my pride and joy. For those of you that aren’t dog people, you probably can’t relate, but she is seriously my baby! She makes me so happy and does the CUTEST things to brighten my day. She wakes me up in the morning by gently pawing my arm and grrrring at me in her cute little playful way. I have loved every minute of the few months that I have had her…

{TWO} My FAMiLY!

The number of nieces and nephews I have seems to constantly be growing. I don’t have many recent pictures of them because they don’t tend to usually want their pictures taken.… I’ll try my best to get them all up here within the next few months.

Lillee (age 3) and Amelia (age 5)

Joel (age 10) and Talia (age 4)

Kyla (age 13 1/2 months)

Mason (sister-in-law’s nephew… still part of the family)

Well that’s 5 of my actual niece’s and nephews… only missing 2.

{THREE} Photography! [0’]

The wonderful streets in Great Falls, Montana.

{FOUR} My Friends! Not only do I miss my friends from back home, but I love the few I have made here.

{FiVE} Last, but the most important is the Church of JESUS CHRiST of Latter-Day Saints.

Without the gospel in my life today, I would not be the person I am! It has changed my life for the better in so many ways and has given me a positive outlook on life when I needed it the most. Unfortunately it is sometimes something I take for granted, but it definitely is such a part of my life. I can’t wait to strengthen my testimony, share my passion with others about the thing I love the most and make the next steps in life to be closer to my Savior, Jesus Christ and My Father in Heaven.
