though miles lay between us

i'm going to post this now so she sees it before she leaves and her life gets super crazy!

in a few short days one of my very best friends turns 19! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! she's an oldie!! and the day after she turns 19 she gets to report to the Provo MTC (missionary training center) which after she will leave to serve a mission in Toronto for 18 months!!

camille has been living in the philipenes for the past few weeks and janae and i have missed her like crazy. skype is nice but it's just not the same. i'm not quite sure what i will do when i can only email her once a week and not get to see her beautiful face until spring of 2016!

but she's gonna do amazing things. she's so darling and sweet and will touch many lives!! she definitely has changed my life for the better (and i'm sure janae would say the same!) i know for a fact that sometimes god puts people in your life for a reason and i'm sure glad he put these two into my life!

i'm so excited for you camille!!!

falling into fall   

four is company

i have spent nearly every spring break, february break and a few weeks each summer since livie, luke and sophie were born with this family. and i lived with them the past year. i think we all grew up together...they taught me a lot and i sure hope that some of me rubbed off on them too. i'm so excited to see them continue to grow up and become individuals. each of their personalities is so different and i love them oh so much.

goodbyes

if there is one thing i hate more than snow...it would be the word "goodbye"

there's just something depressing about the word. but i've come to learn that goodbyes aren't forever....whether i'm saying goodbye for one month, eighteen months, or until i see them again on the other side.. even if it is difficult...i know that i'll see people again...at some point in life

and with every goodbye comes a new hello....as cheesy as that may sound....you always say hello to new people and new experiences....so here's to accepting the hello's and hoping the goodbyes are a little less painful...
