{today i believe in...}

{change}

i just found this pic from my senior year & couldn't help but laugh. i believe that this is what we define as a "hot mess." [i'd say i've changed a bit, eh?]

i think it's easy to be afraid of change. the word carries a negative connotation. but maybe, just maybe, a change here and there isn't so bad. maybe it's exactly what i need.

{happiness}

i believe in this kind of happy {chadron state park, summer '94}. i believe in laughter & being carefree & having an endless supply of hope.

& sometimes, it takes nights like tonight to remember that.

{setting goals}

i never knew you could fall in love with a place, until this summer when i visited temple square{07.17.10, salt lake city temple}. there is nothing i want more than to get married in a temple someday. it's a goal i try to work towards every single day.
