Easter, Vacations and Struggles


I know Easter was awhile ago, but it was mine and Trevor's first Easter together as a married couple! I like to make a big deal about our "firsts" together. Ya know, like first Christmas, first birthday all that fun stuff. We got some of our favorites as well as stuff for our little one on the way! 



Recently last week, Trevor and I had the opportunity to go down to California with my dad and sister, to visit my brother Tyler and his girlfriend Misty. I haven't seen Tyler since 2012, so it was a nice little getaway to be able to see him after a couple years. 

My brother Tyler has had it rough over the years, but he's a very strong guy. He doesn't give up on anything and when you really get to know him he has a big heart. I love my brother and I know he can do some amazing things. 

The whole weekend was all about Tyler! Whatever he wanted to do, we were going to do as a family. We went out to eat a couple of times, also went to the beach and just talked about life and how things were going. Hopefully, it won't be another couple years before I get to see him again. 





Lately, I feel like I've been struggling with some things in my life. I've gotten way more emotional than I was before and I feel like I'm running on empty. I go from happy to angry in about 5 seconds and sometimes I feel like I'm not being my real self. 

Well the other day I came across this:


This is one of my absolute FAVORITE talks. Everytime I feel like I'm alone or struggling I turn to this. I feel like Elder Holland is speaking right to me. I'm reminded that I'm not alone, I have the Savior right there beside me. Also, good things will come, I just have to be patient and trust in my Heavenly Father. 

Life may not always turn out the way I want it to, but I know it'll turn out the way it's suppose to be.
