This weekend consisted of; a trip to two doctors offices, the ER, working a LOT, and about three-six hours on the phone with my mom just venting ... it was a bit stressful to say the least. 

After taking a step back though I came to the realization that I am not in this alone. I need to stop relying on other people, and learn to make myself happy. I need to not worry about the past and definitely not worry about the future. I am stressing so much about things that aren't even in my control. I need to focus on the present and live each day for what it's worth. A new gift that is granted to me each day that so many may not get. Count all my blessings and know that the decisions I've made are good, and will take me to new places. I just have to trust. 

Pray your hardest when its the Hardest to Pray.  

This is my amazing roommate Marita. I am so blessed to have her in my life. God brought us together when we were both in need of a friend. She has an amazing faith and has really helped me pull mine back around. These past couple of weeks have been stressful for all of us, and we really relied on each other to get through them. So thankful to have her in my life. 

This is my stud muffin of a boyfriend Ryan. Word can't describe how thankful I am to have him in my life. He keeps me grounded and focused. Whenever I start to have anxiety attacks or get in my awful moods, he knows just what to say and do to bring me right out of them. He has taught me so much, and really brings the best out in me. He is so kind and unbelievably pure hearted. I know sometimes I get upset with him because I have this "boyfriend" image and expectations that I expect him to just know and meet. The truth is though, no one is ever going to meet them. Let's be honest, how many men do you know can truly read your mind? 

I need to just love and honor him for the amazing person that he is.  Because he truly is an amazing and one of a kind person.  We are both still terribly young, and with that comes a bit of immaturity and selfishness. We both still have a lot of growing to do, but the best part is that we can do it together. 

I hope you all are having a great weekend.

Happy Fathers Day to all the Daddy's of the world.

<3 Love Always
