About Me

My photo
I was born in Mesa and lived in both Arizona and Utah. I attended four different high schools and moved back to Mesa my senior year. I love to travel and explore; I studied abroad in England, Scotland and France and had a blast. Music and writing drive me. I am a hard worker, when I am motivated to be. I am a passionate girl who loves people. I love friends but I also love my quiet time. Most importantly, I love to Love. I am a writer, an educator, a learner, an explorer and yes, a Mormon. I am blessed and I love my life. I am currently serving a mission for the Lord through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Italy until January of 2016.

SSS grateful: Dads.

It's gonna be Short.
Hopefully I can make it Sweet.
And above all, know that I am Simply grateful for my dad.

Dad
For 18 years, I have been a part of his life.
From him giving me wheel barrow rides in the front yard to me driving him around for errands, I think I am shaped quite a bit after his ways. Thoughtful minds, an interest in how things work (math and science, sort of), literature, small hands, a terrible fear of heights, a fear of getting hurt (we're both kind of babies when it comes to pain) are a few little things we have in common. 
He's spiritual, so very incredibly smart, has a story for everything, is one of the most sensitive guys I know and 
He's my dad, and he's a keeper. 
Thanks for being there for pretty much everything. Thanks for your example and for guiding me through life. Thanks for supporting the family and staying strong even when all else was weak. These words may be short fed, but I love my dad very much.

Justin Brother-in-law
He's like my second dad, a brother and a go-to guy. For many things in my life I secretly look towards him and wonder what he would have to say about it. With three kids of his own, his goofiness and all, he's on my list of fatherly love.

Matt Brother-in-law
This guy is a smarty. If you ever need something to think about, go spend some time with him and your perspective might change a bit. I know it has with me, making me a better person and looking at certain things with a different eye. Completely worthy of being a father, he's got the love as well.

Matt Brother
What can I say? My brother Matt is the punk I used to beat up all the time when we were little kids, and I never saw that one day he would have a beautiful daughter of his own. He is the hardest worker I know and he will get anything done that he sets his mind to. He is caring, compassionate kind of funny and sometimes weird... but hey, I love him for it. As a brother, he's done well. As a father, he's done even better.

As a girl who is completely boy-crazy, I think I'm partial to my dads. Thanks to every dad out there who has touched my life. If I know you, you probably have. Keep up the good influencing and know that you are loved.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
