All things broken..

My heart is so full. I have to share my gratitude. I have made so many big decisions over the summer. I wasn't working for a long time. I was focusing on getting my life back together and strengthening myself spiritually and physically to have the courage to take on life again. I have gone through a remarkable change. Some maybe have never had the desire to give up on life. A lot of great people in my life are so strong and have stayed so close to the Lord that they have never felt the awful feeling of deserting everything they ever knew. I admire them so much. I have been doing all that I am capable of to show the Lord I am forever on His side. That I never want to choose darkness again, even if in a weak moment I feel giving in would just be easier. It is always more difficult and heart breaking to recover and rebuild yourself once the adversary is through with you. We all have something to live for. It is times like these we can learn and grow. We can prepare ourselves to reach out and recognize those who are in deep sorrow around us. This has all been possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the Savior and the sacrifices He made for me. I start school this week. I'm going back after seven years and it's terrifying. My brother gave me a blessing tonight and I know everything he said was prompted by the spirit. One thing I must share, "All things broken can be mended through Jesus Christ". These words touched my heart. I knew they were meant specifically for me. I honestly feel I have been broken and with my family at my side I have been on the path way to be healed. If you have ever felt so low that your only option is to give up, turn to the Lord. He is waiting for You.

La Hermosa Playa Con Mi Familia y Campamento

I never planned to put pictures on my blog. Since my Madre is serving a mission in Chile, she constantly asks me to post pictures on my blog. She has this idea that blogs should just have pictures, I've tried to convince her other wise but what can I say, she's my mother & she win's. I was lucky enough to spend time with my amazing family during my summer travels therefore that is what my plethora of pictures has mainly consisted of. Thank you to Trav and Colyn for inviting me to Cali. It was unforgettable!

I love my brothers! Colyn & Travis.. Colyn was staying in Huntington and Trav was staying in Newport so they both invited me to fly out to Cali and I had the BEST time with them and their families.

I heart my sister in laws. They are my best friends. I'm so grateful for them.

I just figured out how to do a collage! Holla. I stayed with Colyn and Cass at this sweet Condo thanks to Christa! We had sooo much fun!


My sisters Charlotte & Christa. I LOVE them so much! It is so awesome that we are so close and years a part in age but can talk to each other about everything. We are so much a like and so different. With the Macdonald name you are bound to be down to earth. I love that we all had air dried hair from the shower :) After I went camping with Char I had one night before I left to California. That night we met Chris in Orem and went to dinner. So much fun! I have the best sisters.

Me and my nephew Ty at the Quick 'N' Tasty.. So good! That's us with our Raspberry Fizz'..mmm so de-lish. I use to rock this boy to sleep when he was a baby. It still freaks me out to hear him talk!


My Sis Charlotte came from California to go to her husband's family reunion at Beaver Mtn. I went up with them and crashed the reunion to camp for the weekend. Little did I know my cousin Michael Duncan would be there crashing the reunion with his best friend Darrin also :)
This is my old house in College Ward. I had to go by and check on our garden and flowers for mi Madre. I was taking pictures and the new owners came outside and were like "Why are you taking pictures of our house?" haha I said this is MY house yo! Just kidding, they ended up inviting me in and were so sweet. I will definitely be back there to visit and check on my rustic red room that I miss very much!
This is the view right as you come out of the mouth of the Canyon and into Cache Valley. This was my home for a long time. I always loved getting out of the canyon and seeing home. It was nice to drive through by myself and savor the moment.

I am a Dreamer

I have dreams, big dreams. Things I've thought about for years. Places, people, religion, architecture, culture, beauty, life that I want to find all over the world. And you know what, I will. When you make up your mind to do something have faith in your self that it can be done. Don't let what someone has said discourage you. Only you and our Father in heaven know who you are and the things that you are capable of. Believe in yourself that you will arrive at the destination you choose. Sure I'm going to have to work hard, have more self discipline than ever before. But the difference is, for the first time in my life I know what I want. I'm going for it. I'm not going to spend one more day of my life trying to make a plan and fill my day with a bunch of ideas that I truly don't want. I realize now is the time to choose happiness and not to wait for it.

Reliving one of the greatest nights! & Good times with sweet friends

Meet Carrie, one of my best/inspiring/greatest/dearest friends! Everyone knows I'm in love with anything that has to do with country, but if you really know me.. you know there is a band that I LOVE!! Kings Of Leon!!! Carrie surprised me and got concert tickets for her and I for when I was down visiting in AZ. BEST night ever! Here are a series of pictures depicting the night.
This was outside Colyn and Cassie's when she picked me up in Queen Creek


Carrie's first red bull!!! Ahh!


Whenever you hangout with me you know that every moment of the night will have a picture to go with it :)

Awewsome lay out. Beautiful sky.

Just waiting..
And waiting..

I had this awful job once. This is what my screen saver looked like (minus the little man setting up) that would get me through the day but the difference is I took this pic LIVE!


Caleb Followill!! Greatest vocals EVER!
Carrie thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Which is true I'm sure.

Loved the set
She got me this shirt, last size.. men's large! haha I wore it proud.

Alecia, Brooke and Briley.. Life long friends I rarely get to see :( We got to spend some time hanging out and it was so much FUN!! Just like old times.

All the Ladies. I love these girls and miss them tons! I'm so happy we all got together and reminisced about old times and got to catch up on life! Miss them all!!

My sweet/amazing friends from Logan came to see me! Tailona and Bridgette. I was ecstatic! Tailona has been more like a sister ever since the day I met her. Bridg is so amazing! She had to put up with me for far too long! ;) I took them to a really pretty trail that I love up Payson Canyon.
