Just A Flipping Ray Of Sunshine ☺️

Holy Toledo I've been slacking. Just so much going on in life. Lots and lots of working. But more recently I was finally able to go through the temple on Saturday. One of the happiest days of my life right there. Haha I even gave out hugs to those who went with me. If I haven't already told ya, MelFlo hugs are the flipping best. If you don't wanna take my word for it go ahead and ask just about anyone. They've probably only gotten one lol. I wanna just give a huge shoutout to those that came that day. Yall are the freaking best. Wish I coulda snagged a pic of Yall but I just didn't wanna leave and some of you were up way past your bed time. 

I just feel like it's important to share this with you guys. Nothing has been more rewarding than walking through those temple doors and smiling ear to ear. Times were tough to get just to that point. I grew up in an amazing home with some pretty amazing parents who never gave up on us kids and pushed us to our limits...as we did them. I took all that they had taught me as a kid for granted as soon as I moved out. I had no discipline, no real rules and felt free as a bird. Slowly I stopped going to church. Participating in FHE, reading my scriptures, and then full out stopped praying to my father in heaven. One thing led to another and next I knew I was living the "real college life." Looking back on these times I realize how dark and lonely it was. I wasn't happy, I was doing poorly in school, and I had no friends. I was struggling to make rent every month. It was really a terrible time. But one year I had a couple of amazing people set me straight. An awesome Roommate, and two people who ended up becoming my best friends. That's all it took. After a year I asked my bishop for a temple recommend interview. Boom! Aced that test. It had been almost 9 years since I had been inside that beautiful building. 9 years too long. Things just kept going upward and voila, here I am. Planning my week around my temple trips...and work 😂 I freaking love it. 

My mother doesn't really enjoy my selfies. 

L2R: My favorite human Blair, Cousin Ann-I think she had a crush on Blair, MelFlo, mamma Flo, Temple Buddy Britt, Grandma Maria and Howard. 

Ok I don't know who is the mini who but I love this lady with all my heart. Maybe that's why I'm the favorite Grandchild...

Every temple trip with these two is always a blessing.

Christina my other bf who served in the Tulsa, Ok mission WITH MY GRAMS! That's pretty awesome. 

No I never wanted to go on a mission, but every member a missionary right?

And the "Krew" will forever live on in our hearts. No matter where we all go, St George, Wake Forrest, Mexico, SLC, Cedar, or even Panaca... This was one crazy semester none of us will forget.
