Life IS beautiful

I love to see the beautiful things of life.

Most beautiful things in life aren't things.

I've always loved to go camping

because I think in the mountains I always feel closer to my Heavenly Father.

Spending time with family is another way I feel close to my Heavenly Father.

I love both of my family and my sweet husband's family.

I love our family!

I love the time we get to spend together.

I love to be outside enjoying the beautiful things our Heavenly Father has created.

It is always so peaceful and refreshing.

The temple gives me the same feelings.

I love the temple.

I love being able to go with my sweet spouse.

All of the beautiful things in life help me to feel more grateful for my life

and for the blessings I have.

I think I really needed those reminders right now.

When things don't go quite as I want them to I think Heavenly Father makes it possible for me to be humbled and see His hand in my life,

and He helps me realize the blessings He has given me.

I hope others realize this as well, because it is true for all of us.

All of our blessings and everything we have and go through comes from our Father in Heaven because He wants us to grow closer to Him.

I'm grateful for the trials and tests I have that help me grow closer to Him

and to my sweet husband.

Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at the beach with my husband's family

(the ones that live near us anyways)

It was a lovely day

Friday, my youngest sister graduated from high school!

We spent last weekend with them.

This week we get to spend time with both families here!

We are so excited,

we love our families!

Ahh, life IS beautiful!
