I woke up this morning and realized I had fallen asleep on the couch last night while watching the tail end of "The Wedding Planner." I got up and put a roast, potatoes, and carrots in the crock pot in preparation for my dad, brother, and sister driving up this afternoon. Then I laid in bed for a few minutes before I decided I wasn't going to be able to sleep. Too many thoughts!
So I thought I'd share a few.
The past several weeks have been filled with friends and fun, along with a few ups and downs.
I'm so grateful that the gospel is a constant in my life. I'm grateful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost.
These ups and downs in my life always leave me a with a greater realization that Heavenly Father loves me and has a plan for me.
Really, when I think about it, the gospel is what connects me with all the wonderful people in my life.
Here are some of them!
 |
Members of the Summer 2008 ASN class of BYU-Idaho. I had a lot of fun organizing this little reunion!
These are very accomplished and faith-filled people and I am blessed to be associated with them! |
 |
Another lady who has blessed my life! Courtney is one of my go-to people.
She always reminds me that everything happening my life is simply part of the plan.
Lucky for me, she shares my love of musicals!
Here we are getting ready to watch an outdoor performance of "Oklahoma!" |
 |
I celebrated my 25th birthday by inviting a bunch of friends to watch "Hotel Transylvania" at the Capitol Building.
Lindsey, Janiece, Jill, and Sarah are such great girls and I love them! |
 |
In keeping with our tradition from last year, Dad took all the Cozzens cousins out to lunch yesterday!
I look forward to the weekend every year when he brings Jeanice out to school because it means I get "Dad time," too! |
 |
Tyla (and Averie :), Cathy, Jeanice, and me
We're lucky Tyla and Cathy married into our family! |
 |
No tour of BYU campus is complete without a photo with Cosmo!
Can't wait for the home football games to begin! |
 |
I didn't complain when Dad suggested we swing by the Creamery!
I hit the jackpot last year on Black Friday when I got a great deal on a Canon Rebel camera.
I've been trying develop my meager photography skills this year.
It takes a lot of time and practice, but I'm inching my way to where I want to be!
Several weeks ago, I photographed Kirk and Taunia and their cute kids on Temple Square.
Here are a few of my favorites: |
 |
Handsome Cade! |
 |
Isn't this the most darling family you've ever seen? I love them! |
 |
Loved the lighting and the temple in the background on this one! |
 |
Another favorite. :) |
If any of you have photography tips/advice/suggestions, I would love to hear them!
I would love to have a small business on the side, but I don't know if I'm quite good enough yet.
Happy Sunday!
