Six Years

I started this blog six years ago, as a freshman at BYU. Those early posts, complete with grammatical error and awful fashion choices are somewhat cringe worthy. However, when I do go back to the beginning and look at those first posts from a  young 18 year old me, I can't help but keep reading. I scroll through post after post, my heart stopping at certain lines of words that speak to me.

Words that I wrote.

Words that wrote me.

Although the posts that fill it have not always been profound, this little corner of the internet I've carved out for myself tells a story of becoming. You see it in the pictures, in the experiences and people included, and in the writing. However I like to think that more than just documenting those changes, this blog has catalyzed them. It was here that I learned the power words have on my soul,  and here that using those words, I became who I am today. 

The blog has changed as I have changed. I've debated many times starting a new one, a clean, white, blank canvas tempting me to leave. This blog wasn't ever about being fresh and new though-it has always been about the journey of becoming; a journey that inherently involves the past. It involves the ins and outs of the every day life, and the of those seemingly small and insignificant moments that come together and culminate in the creation of an entire life. A journey that romances me so greatly, that the temptation to start a new always fades.I think I'll stay here awhile longer still. 

There are words, and life, yet to be written.

I thought I'd celebrate my 6 years of blogging by creating a little list of the posts that mean the most to me (in no particular order)

I've meant to post something.

That is a lie. 

I haven't had anything I've wanted to share, and to be quite honest I don't right now either.


I don't have lots of pictures, or funny stories, or some giant reason why I haven't been sharing.


I guess I haven't been posting because I've been just too darn busy living. Nothing major, just living. Going on diet coke runs. School. Staying up to late. Work. Making fun of the Bachelor. Being a friend, sister, and daughter. Church stuff. Washing my hair. (hey this takes quite some time for me) Homework. Cooking. Having #fgps with my roommate. Talking. Listening. Sleeping when I can. Planning. Eating. Laughing.


See... I've just been living. Just living, but it's been great. My life is good, and beautiful and hard and I love living it.
I plan on posting more, and taking pictures more. I really do.


(I also plan on working out, doing all of my reading for school and eating more veggies though, so we'll see what happens)
