Pictures & Words

When 2017 began I decided that it would be my year of choices. 2016 was all about Connor and I and our relationship and now that we MADE IT and are married and living so happily (God bless!!! I wish I could tell my engaged self that it would all work out) I am dedicating time to helping myself mature and grow. 2016 was like a year long version of that time in high school when my prom dress wouldn't zip the night before prom. It was like getting hit by a train over and over. It was like that gross feeling you get when you eat too much muddy buddies. It was all the bad things. 

So of course I was ready to welcome a beautiful new year and I was so grateful to celebrate
NEWNESS and to be rid of my last 365 days!! It did not take long for 2017 to let me know that it would be very nice to me. This solidifies my belief that good will always follow the bad!! God will give us rewards for our troubles and our pains and our sacrifices ALWAYS. 

JANUARY

We spent our first week of 2017 in Portland, Oregon. We spent our second week moving into our little cute house in Provo, Utah. Our third week of January was the week I found my dream job and ran into my best friend serving a mission in Salt Lake City. Wow...it sounds even better when I write it down. :') Here's some pictures:

FEBRUARY

February was a BLUR. Sometime during that blur we went to St. George, Connor got a job working at a bike shop and my best friend Serena came up and visited. We both started working full-time = BUSY! Connor got his new love - his bike and we made a blanket fort for Valentines Day. I don't even know what else happened, soo here's a picture of Serena lookin like a babe: 

This is pretty much the first good picture I ever took...I blame it on the hot model ;) 

MARCH: 

March was amazing. March was a Ben Rector concert (!!!! DREAM COME TRUE) with Heath and then a Panic at the Disco concert a week later. It was Connor's birthday and drowning in photography in the best way and binge watching the office. It was also me officially accepting SHORT HAIR and wearing mom jeans. But everyone knows that mom jeans aren't news. ;)

What's next? Well, starting on Saturday I officially begin working full-time as a photographer for Fotfly! I am officially bookable on good ol fotofly.com!!!! General conference is this weekend and my family visits at the end of the month. Also I'm doing a juice cleanse and some squats to prep myself for a month of fitness. Woohooo!
