Life as we know it...crazy!

Have you ever been asked the question, "Are you or have been successful in your life?" If not I promise you, you will! I was asked this recently while trying to earn a scholarship for the U. Honestly, looking back on my life, I can now say I have been rather successful. So what is success to you? Are you proud of what you have done in your life in the way that you have done it? Well if not, you should be! Look at where you are today, if you have not done the things you have done, you would not be where you are. Here are some ways to have a ... well mostly successful life!

My bedroom is in the basement, and I now have to layer on the blankets and clothes when I go to sleep. Welcome to Utah! Ha but it's ok, I decided I love this time of year for many different reasons and layering up is one of them. I also love cuddling up with my blanket, stick in a chick-flick, and fall asleep, oh so much fun.

I love to start taking pictures of this time of year with my family because everyone just seems so happy, it's not blazing hot, or wretched cold... it's somewhe
