Make your own sunshine

Lately i have been getting compliments on how happy i always am!!I have always been a happy person..but lately getting those compliments has mad me realize that i have been extremely happy and has made me wonder..I think that i am in a place in my life where everything is perfect and going just

the way that Heavenly Father has planned it out to be! 

and that makes me really happy

so i am giving you all a quest..find your own sunshine!

be happy. laugh. and love your life

Everything wont always go your way, but i know that in time everything will workout exactly how planned..so make your own sunshine!!

I think i put off doing this for so long and then i realize that i have so many pics i want to share, so then i end up getting mad at myself for waiting to long.. oh well!

Well a little update on my life.

I have 2.5 months left..i don't even know where time is going..its crazy!! I keep thinking i still have like 5 or 6 months left, but its going to come sooner then i think and i won't be ready. That will be a very sad day when i leave, i am not looking forward to that day to much. I know that my time was well spent though and with the most amazing family ever too :)

Friends 

I am so blessed to have made so many friends out here!! They are all so fun and amazing :) It's made me realize that there is a completely different world outside of Utah. I will forever be grateful for the friends i have made out here!

Don't know how i am going to be able to say goodbye to these kids when June 21st arrives. I am not looking forward to that day at all!!I will forever be grateful for this family and how they have made me grow up and learn about myself in such a different way. These kids will forever be in my heart forever, i have grown to love and care for these kids!!
