generations past

Good morning my lovelies! 

I do realize that I have majorly been slacking on my posts

and I am truly sorry

School started back up again this week 

So things have been preee-tty crazy

On the up side though 

I am officially a resident of UTAH

{The most beautiful place ever and the home of the gorgeous movie mountains}     

Christmas break was awesome

I didn't get to see everyone I was hoping to see 

but I am so thankful for the ones that I did get to see

It's funny

Sometimes I watch the movies and the TV shows

or I see all the pictures of some of the kids I went to school with

[they all went pre-k through high school and are still "bffs" throughout college]

and I think to myself gee I wish I had a group of girl friends I've been friends with forever

BUT

Then I remember I have a best friend that is even better

We've known each other since we were 5 years old

and yes he is a boy

We don't always quite see eye to eye on every aspect of life but we accept each other for who we are.

Isn't that what real friends are supposed to do?

I know no matter what I say or do

he may laugh and tease me

but I know there is no judgement

       We don't talk every single day ... in fact sometimes we go months and even a couple years without really seeing or hearing too much from each other

{we're working on it}

But no matter how long we go without talking or how far we are away from each other 

When we get back together it's like nothing has ever even changed

and I love it

I was to thankful that I got to spend sometime with him over break

because his words of advice and opinion mean more to me than just about anyones

{excluding you mom don't worry}

I also got to go to Ohio and see my grandmother

She has been really sick so if I was to tell you I wasn't nervous about going

it would be a lie

She is doing much better now though and I'm super thankful

If you have never been to Ohio I suggest you go

because it is also a very beautiful place

One of the days my mom took my for a drive to the town were she grew up

We had pizza at the old parlor she used to go to as a kid

{it wasn't deep dish but it was pretty fricken yummy}

She showed me her high school and all the old hand out spots

it was probably one of the high lights of my entire break

Maybe it's just me but there is something about family history 

and learning about all the beautiful things 

and hearing all the stories behind different items that just really intrigues me

             

I hope you all had a great holiday break and are starting off the New Year right!

I would love to hear some of your awesome New Year plans 

[I have some pretty sweet ideas for this year]

Love Always <3

this amazing cabin we had lunch at one day

it was literally a winter wonderland inside 

 

because my grandmother was so sick she couldn't make it to church on christmas

so my mom and i went and brought back the candles

so we could do our own candle light service at the house with her  

 

talk about heavenly

Happy New Year!!!
