Lucky - Oh so lucky

Precisely one year ago today I wrote this post about Ingrid Michaelson's "Glass" - a sad, melancholy song that described my life with eerie accuracy.

As I reflect on the last year of my life, words can't describe the overwhelming gratitude I feel for how blessed I am. Life throws some crazy things at you, but if you're living right you have no need to fear. My most prized posession is the companionship of the Holy Ghost, and living with that as my daily companion leaves me happy every single day.

So, one year later, I give you the song for today. No eerily accurate message, just an upbeat, delicious song that inspires excitement and hope. That describes my life today - hopeful, upbeat, and simply excited. Plus, I'm sort of obsessed with duets lately... maybe I'll post a playlist of those soon.

Conference Weekend!!!

I know I've been photo-heavy on blog lately; I tell you I LOVE MY NEW ELPH. Just can't say it enough.

Before conference weekend festivities began, we had a Friday night Wii party patterned after the Mixer last week. It was really fun. I just need pictures to prove the return of my social life :)

Then on to the Conference Weekend Traditions! This is my second favorite picture all weekend. For Ladies Night we hit up the Nordstrom Rack and the Fashion Place Mall.

I promise, we really did listen to Conference, despite what the pictures below may portray.

After the Ladies Night festivities were over, I had a night of G&G allll to myself! It was quite fun. I even talked them into a hot tub redenzvous. I love that hot tub. (this is my most favorite picture all weekend.)

Sunday I was lucky enough to photograph model Natalie. Mostly she was kind enough to oblige my ongoing learning of my new camera. Here we are before the shoot; there she is after the shoot helping me choose the best pictures, stay tuned for the final product!
