It's Been A Long Time Coming

Almost 2 months since I've written so much as a list. I don't know what happened but apparently I don't write anymore. Life is busy :)

From last year on April 22, to this year on April 22, my life has drastically changed. Last year I was unhappy. I felt as if I wasn't quite where God wanted me to be. But I thought if I could just ignore that feeling of settling, that things would smooth out. Turns out they did. But it took over a year. And I got absolutely crushed in the mean time.

I'm a whole new person now. I have a new life, a new love, and a new happiness that never seems to go away. God has brought me out of the worst storm I could imagine going through, and the weather on this side is perfect =] He saved me from a situation I had no business being in, and He continues to bless me every day. I'm part of a family that loves and supports me. He brought a boy into my life that has changed my definition of love. And I don't know how to express how thankful I am.

My job is incredible but I already can't help but feel like I want a change. Because I'm stubborn and unhappy that I am STILL not working with horses.

I turn 21 in a couple of days, which is whatever. The number anyways. Everyone that knows me knows I LOVE my birthday and that everyone else better love my birthday too :)

Basically, the new me in a nutshell: HAPPY. I'm happy. I smile. I wake up every day loving my life. I'm tired, sure. I'm exhausted sometimes. But I'm always happy now. God has brought so much sunshine into my life recently and I just can't explain how it makes me feel.

It's sunny today, and I got about 10 hours of sleep. So today is gonna be a good day.

Some pictures: Just because no post is complete without a few pictures.



This is me and my handsome boyfriend. I don't know why I didn't wait for God's best for me. But God came through, even in my disobedience, and brought his best to me just in time. I can't wait to see what God has in store for us, but I am confident that I have forever to figure it out :) Grant brings me joy like no one ever has. He makes me feel like myself again. He truly is the half that makes me whole. His family has accepted me with open arms, which is more than I can say about previous relationships. His mom loves me like her own and takes good care of me. His dad is amazing and I just love spending time with them. It means so much to me to have the opportunity to be a part of another beautiful family.

I have had a lot of people comment about pictures of me with Grant, and they always mention that it's nice to see that light, that life, back in my eyes again. And I can truly say that's because of Grant. It's incredible to feel that you're finally on the path God intended to have you on. His blessings will knock your socks off, I can say that much is true.

And every day I find more great things to be thankful for. So God? Thanks. For all of this. I don't deserve it but you continually bless me every single day. So thanks :)

I love life. I love love. And I am finally HAPPY :) *Happy Dancing*

Sunshine. Blue Skies.
