I LOVE the D.I.!

So, our crappy old couch is leaving our apartment. It doesn't belong to us so...we were in a bit of a pickle. Where were we going to sit now? I had no idea and I was kinda thinking that the whole situation was not going to end well for Britt and I.

But alas! Everything all works out in the end. My most amazing Mother came up for a visit to the good ol' L-Town the other day. (my Mom really is the most amazing person on the face of the planet! I have learned so much from her! Even If we are so much alike but different enough we get on each others nerves sometimes!) And she brought up the green and blue Stripped chair that Matt bought a very very long time ago from the DI. So of course she had the truck...So what else were we going to do but go and look for some furniture at my favorite store! THE DI! Oh happy day!

I walked in and it was love at first sight! I looked and I could feel my heart rushing, I didn't know how I was going to live the rest of my life without Him in it! I was so awestruck! It was like a magnet was pulling me towards him! He looked so good and amazing! I could just tell he was going to be the one for me...And then I looked across the way and I saw that they were a matching set! I was beside myself! HOW IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME! I had found the perfect couch and a chair to go with it! The are butter yellow and so awesome! They look like they were sitting in some little old ladies house and she had them covered in plastic and so they look brand new!

This is the couch! Doesn't it just look amazing! I am so happy!
This is the chair! I was way excited that they both were there! It makes it so much better!


And this is the ensemble! 70 Bucks for both! I am so happy and excited and they make our apartment look so cheery and nice! Thanks to my AMAZING Mother again she made the rug and pillows possible! GO TEAM!

For those of you who know me you know this is not the first DI furniture venture! I love that place! They always have sweet little pieces of gold hiding in there. Or just out in plain sight! I hope you are all doing well! I hope your last week was amazing! Don't forget who you are, it is so easy to do sometimes! And don't forget that you are loved and if you happen to lose your way there is someone always there who is willing to carry you through the rough times! You are never alone!

I love you all! Have the worlds most amazing week! School is about to start up again so enjoy the rest of the summer while you can!

Reflections...

So this is going to be more of a serious post. I will try to throw some of my traditional humor into it so you don't get overly board but...I have something I want to say so I am going to say it.

First let us have a little recap of the summer...we have done more amazing activities that must be shared with the world!

I went and watched a movie in a scouting Cabin out in Hyrum...it was very fun, until the battery on the computer died and we didn't get to finish our movie. Meh, its okay cause in front of the cabin they had a Sinclair dinosaur which I rode!

I went boating for the first time on Hyrum Dam (not boating for the first time) I have been overly spoiled with Uncle Gems boat cause it has a jet engine, so no prop for us! I was a little nervous to go out on someone else's boat. As it turns out they have a jet boat too!

We went to the Stone Idaho Rodeo! Which was the highlight of the past week. Cause...it had rained before the rodeo started and so the arena was like a mud pond. After everything was said and done, we got rides on a saddle blanket in the mud and then got in the worlds biggest mud fight! Life is great!

Okay so now for more serious.

I have been evaluating life recently and looking at all the paths that people I know have taken. People who, in high school I was a little jealous of. And I look at everything and despite all of my trials and struggles...I am so blessed that my life is the way it is! All of my amazing friends and family have made this possible for me. I can see how easy it is to fall off the beaten path, and I am so glad that I have held to the rod through rough times!

I love you all! Have a great week!
