It's a brand new day...

And the sun in shining, so I'm taking it all in. I've been very sad and frustrated the last few days....but today I woke up and decided that I was going to have a smile on my face and tears were not going to fall down my face today. But I know as soon as I see my parents today, teacher will probably come down. But I'm okay with that. Anyway back to what I was saying...I woke up in a different mood thinking that today was going to be a better day than the whole last 2 weeks have been. SO today I've thought about everything I'm grateful for, and everything I have to look forward to with the next month ahead of me. Right now my mind is crazy and there is a lot on my mind...but that's not what I am thinking about. In the next month, I will be:

-Graduating from college with my Bachelors in Elementary Education
-Going to the temple
-Taking family pictures - we are all going to be together again...it's going to be wonderful
-Having a family BBQ with Mark's family and mine and it is going to be YUMMY
-Getting married in the Salt Lake City Temple to the love of my life for time and all eternity
-Going to San Fransisco!
-Having fun on all of the adventures that are to happen in San Fran....there are a TON! And I am excited for every single one, and to spend that time with Mark. I love him so much.
-Going to my nephew, Cole's baptism
-Going to TEXAS!
-Going to the LAKE! FINALLY!!!!!! I can not WAIT for this adventure!
-Going to Six Flags
-Having a reception in Texas
-Flying back to Utah
-Moving into OUR new apartment!
-Possibly going to a family reunion on Mark's side of the family in Utah
-Starting student teaching!!!!!!!!

HOLY MOLY! It's SO much stuff, isn't it?!?! But doesn't it all sound so wonderful! Even though all of these hard times are happening, there are things in life to look forward to. Mine just seems to be insanely busy...but that will hopefully keep my mind off of the bad things happening in life. When life hands you lemons...make lemonade, right?
