Happiness Depends upon Ourselves: I AM BLESSED

I have been thinking a lot about life lately and the only words I can think of is I AM BLESSED.

This summer has been one I will never forget. SO much has happened. Ill start with the restaurant. It is finally open! Yay!! It has been such a blessing to me, for many reasons. It has taught me how to work even harder then I thought I could. It has taught me the importance of caring for others. Ive learned how working with family can be hard sometimes, but it is soooo rewarding. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in crime. (Candice) I could go on and on. The town of Boulder is next. My mom taught me, if I cant say anything nice don't say anything at all.... so i'm just not going to say anything about this crazy town ;) We're hoping to start franchising in the next few years, so life is just going to get busier and busier. Such a blessing.

School is going good. I just finished a class, and now i'm starting 3 classes that will start in a couple weeks. Pretty excited to start on my major rather then gen eds.

Family is why I feel so blessed. I often say why am I so lucky? I need to change that to Thank you God for giving me the family I have. I cant say enough about each of them. I know I live in Broomfield, but every single chance I have i am back in greeley. It will always be home :)

So much has happened this summer...

I bought a car!!! AHHH! I love it. Its a 2011 white ford fusion. Im in love.

I went to utah with my mom and two little sisters. It was a much needed vacation. I was able to catch up with so many friends/family that I havent seen in awhile. It was so great. I even went and spent a day in Idaho with matt, and got to see all my friends, and make some new ones as well!

We spent fathers day/ dads birthday weekend at a cabin at red feather lake. It was heaven. We spent the few days there fishing, going on walks, and just enjoying each others company.

There were so many birthdays this summer... Meagan turned 23, Candice turned 21, Matt turned 24, Veronica turned 24, Seth turned 25, Casey turned 17, Dad turned 52, Katie turned 15, Jessy turned 1, joe turned 24, and i finally turned 20!!!!!! ( I hope I got all those ages right...) Summer is always so busy with birthdays!

The things I will remember from this summer is the time I spent with family. It is what makes me happy. I will forever be grateful for the time spent with every one of them.
