Sea Day

Day 4:

The fourth day was a sea day.  Which means we spent all day on the ocean.  We mostly just relaxed, played games, read and ate lots of food.  We also saw a huge family of dolphins off the side of the ship, they were playing and jumping out of the water and it was probably one of the coolest things ever.


The guys all seem to love chess.  Jess and I couldn't really understand what was so awesome about it?!  Oh well... they enjoyed themselves.

For dinner I decided to get a hamburger because nothing else really sounded that great.  When it came out I was shocked to see how huge it was.  I only ate about a fourth of it!

After dinner we all stayed up until about two in the morning talking and playing games.  It was so fun to chat and make the most of our last night on the ship.  We were sad to be going home the next day but happy to be in our own beds and with our families. 

When Justin & I got back to our room there was a cute little towel heart waiting for us on our bed!


The next day we woke up early and made our way off the ship.... no pictures :(

It was such an amazing trip and we all really enjoyed ourselves!

5 years since dads death, 5 lessons learned.

-
Today marks five years since my dear dad passed away.  Five years?! To say it's been an easy five years would be a complete lie.  But to say that the last five years have been completely miserable would be a lie, too.  I've experienced tender mercies of the Lord all along the way. Since it's been five years, I want to share five important lessons I've learned since my dads death. God loves us perfectly "Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely.  Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly.  Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely." - Dieter F Uchtdorf I often hear of people who, once something bad happens in their life,  blame everything on God.  They truly believe that if such a thing could happen in their life, then God must not love them.  I am here to tell you that that is a complete lie! I see how the easy way out for me would have been to believe that God didn't love me...

Perfect at Trying

-
I loved the movie "Meet the Mormons" that recently came out in theaters. I especially love the song that David Archuleta sings called "Glorious" that gives me goosebumps. What I love the most about this movie is a quote by the "Humanitarian" that says: "I am perfect in one thing, I am perfect in trying."  This is how I feel as well. There are days where I try so hard and despite my efforts fall short, there are days that I try so hard and things fall perfectly into place just the way I had imagined. No matter the outcome, what's important is that I keep trying. A few months back I wrote a post called "Perfectionism" and the struggle I face almost daily.  I feel like because of social media, people get a wrong idea of our lives. Most people only post the best things happening in their lives and leave out all the hard, negative moments that we each face daily. It's easy to play the game of comparison and wonder why everyone else h...

Perfectionism

-
Keep in mind:  This is very personal for me, but it was quite therapeutic to write this all down and to share with others. I hope that by me sharing it can help at least one person out there. There have been a few points in my life where I have really needed to make a big choice.   This isn’t just the little choices or decisions we all make on a daily basis, but a big choice.   Over the last what seems like couple years I have really struggled with something… something that has consumed my thoughts and actions.   Something that has crippled me at times, which has made me not want to even leave my house.   I am learning that many people out there struggle with this same thing called “perfectionism.”   This isn’t the perfectionism that we all think of, but more of a deep, dark pit of despair that I found myself in. I was such a perfectionist that I was never good enough for myself.   I’d look in the mirror and something wa...
