Little, Big Blessings


Good afternoon everyone!

I figured that I should probably tell you a little bit about who I am before I continue to post, post, post. So here's a little list of some of the big blessings in my life...

1.) My Family


So here we have my dad. Although you can't tell on the surface, this is the most adventurous man you'll ever meet. He is super intelligent, sentimental, and absolutely LOVES his children with every ounce of his being. 

My mother is one of the strongest women I will ever know. Her story is absolutely incredible and despite her sometimes headstrong attitude, she really is just a big goofball. 

My baby niece, Eden Rose. Ah...I could go on and on about her. With ease, Eden stole everyone's heart the moment she took her first breath. She's already 8 months old now and beginning to crawl...she is absolute perfection. 

My sister-in-law, Marie, is literally THE most beautiful woman inside and out. She is the epitome of class, grace, and elegance (which makes sense because she danced as Jasmine, Belle, and Snow White in Tokyo Disney)....of course she is going to be princess-like! She is witty and independent and just happens to be one of the most hilarious girls I know. 

Finally, my big brother, Allen. Now, talking about him almost makes me cry because of how much he means to me. Most people know him because he plays professional baseball, but even BETTER than that....he is an incredible big brother, wonderful son, and an amazing father. He is the greatest guy I know. 

2.) My Best Friend
Let me just tell you about Madeline. She is syrup sweet, she is sugar sweet. She leads with her heart and always looks to the Lord in all that she does. I met her in 1st grade and now that we are going into our 3rd year in college it blows my mind to see how far we've come. Although this Cali girl found herself all the way at Franciscan University of Steubenville (Ohio) she still manages to challenge me in my faith, she is a true Sister in Christ. 

3.) My Sister
 I know, we don't look alike. That's because we aren't related. haha, but besides Marie, she is the closest thing I will ever have to a sister. She use to babysit me when I was only a couple months old and somehow we just managed to stick around in each other's lives. This girl is my concert buddy, my dance in the car buddy, my adventure buddy. She recently moved to Seattle, but distance makes the heart grow fonder!

4.) Mi Amor

 This guy right here is special. I met him at a wedding last September and he quickly became my best friend. I never thought I'd meet someone weird enough for me, but here he is. No matter what we are doing, I can be sure that laughter is to follow. Our relationship is a true testament to how in tune the Lord is with all of our hearts and I cannot help but Praise Him every time I think of Cory. He completely reconstructed my idea of what it means to be a true Man of God. A real gentleman, a modern day Prince Charming. (he'll prolly make fun of me for saying that).

5.) My roommates

Stephanie on the left and Sabrina on the right. These girls are my partners in crime and together we probably make up THE most awkward group that you will ever encounter. I have lived with Stephanie for three years now and she was the person that has been there for all of my college experiences, the good and the bad. I met Sabrina last year and I'm not sure there is anybody on Earth that is quite like her. She is a true gem! I adore the both of them and I know going into my third year of college that they  will continue to be by my side. 

So there ya go! My life in a nutshell :) I hope you learned a little bit more about what makes my life so beautifully blessed!
