First Birthday

YESTERDAY--- My sweet niece Skye celebrated her first birthday and hard to believe that so much has happened since she came into our family. I am so grateful for the unconditional love she has for so many people and continuously puts a smile on your face, whenever you need something to cheer you up at any given moment. When I first became an auntie, I really didn't have much of an idea or what there was for me to expect other than not having had experience with any younger siblings in my growing up years. It has never made me want to think about how incredibly quick this year has come and gone within a very short period of time, but somehow it feels like an absolute eternity.

Skye has certainly brought so much happiness into my life and continues to make everyone around her feel extra loved. I am so grateful for the many more memories that we will get to share with her and hopefully at some point down the road, her siblings... but not gonna mention anymore about that right now!!!! I know it seems a little bit weird of me to write up about this, when it was fairly clear to me that none of us were present to celebrate with her-- but I do know she felt so loved by lots of pple and didn't have a moment when she was not smiling from ear to ear. 

Seven Weeks Left

I can't even believe how fast this school year has come and gone, which to me only means another legitimate summer break to look forward to. It's certainly been an emotional roller coaster for me during this past year without any shadow of a doubt in my mind. I have really needed to focus so much more on my Heavenly Father and Savior, throughout this year more than anything else. I've really been able to feel their hand in my life as I continuously figure out, what the next upcoming school year will be for me and can only hope that it will a much better experience than words can ever say. I have literally gotten myself in situations that most people should never see themselves needing to deal with and can only hope these next few weeks will end on a positive note without teardrops running down my face.
