22

Yup I finally hit Taylor Swift's Song. I am twenty-two years old and I think its weird (my parents think its weird too). And this past year alone has been insane. So many changes, a new life path, and taking new risks. I my birthday's keep getting better with age or maybe my attitude is just getting better with age. Not to mention I've had a lot of great things happen to me since moving to Pocatello. So here are 22 things I'm loving about life right now.

1-I have lost 8lbs, I wasn't heavy or anything before but I'm feeling & looking great (I'm loving the comments I get when I see people who haven't seen me in a while). I'm super excited to have a waist; I can pull of outfits I would have never dreamed of wearing before.

2-I love my job at the elementary school here in Pocatello. I love helping the kids and apparently they love me. Its a lot fun and love seeing the kids eyes light up when they final understand something.

3-My home life has been great. Better than it has been. I love that I'm able to help my parents and my siblings. Not to mention I actually get to teach piano lessons to my brothers.

4-Did I mention I live pretty close to a ton of my extended family and my amazing great aunt lives just across the golf course from me. I love getting to know my cousins and spending time with them.

5-The fact that I don't have to drive 20 minutes to get into town.

6-I love my YSA ward. The girls in my R.S. are super awesome and I just feel like their my BFFs.

7- Key Lime Cheesecake. That was my birthday treat at the Cheese Cake Factory. It was super yummy. Not to mention I loved getting whip cream all over my face.

8-Supes adorable skirt I bought myself with my birthday money. Peplum and green. ( I could never pull of a peplum anything until now). Not to mention I look pretty good in it. What girl doesn't love shopping?

9-I get to cook for my family every week. Since I hate cooking for myself cooking yummy food for other people is a lot more enjoyable for me.

10-I have my big bed back. I love sleeping on my full sized bed again. Not to mention the memory foam my parents got me. I'm kind of in love with my bed. My parents spoiled me and got me a spiffy mattress bad. I love it and most days I have a hard time leaving my bed. I've always been one to love sleep so having a comfortable place to sleep is always icing on the cake.

11-Cuddle time with the dog everyday. Phoebe loves that I'm living at home.

12-For my incredible friends near or far. I am so blessed to have so many people in my life that love me and are such strong examples in my life.

13-I'm just going to come out and say it, it's not something I necessarily love but its more of I just kind of like it. Tinder. It's been an interesting experience but it's definitely helped me get out of my shell and somewhat out of my head when it comes to guys. Plus it's kind of proven to me that guys actually do find me attractive and will make an effort to talk to me first.  But there is still an element of absolute creepy when it comes to Tinder.

14-Design, who was I kidding when I said I wasn't going to do it anymore but I think I just needed some time away to realize how much I love the process and I love making things functional while making them look good. Design isn't just how it looks but also how it works.

15-Jeggings. I love wearing skinny jeans and I also love wearing yoga leggings. So it's like the perfect combonation.

16-Lately I've been digging how I've been doing my makeup, I;m so glad I've grown in my makeup abilities and it's constantly evolving. Bareminerals have become my absolute favorite. Not to mention Ulta! Ulta is just plain spectacular.

17-Unexpected things, good or bad, they help you grow. There is a beauty in uncertainty.

18-Oh Snap Chat. I use to absolutely hate Snap Chat but it's grown on me and I have some pretty great people to send snaps to and they also send pretty ridiculous snaps back.

19- The fire place. Our family room in the house were renting is lovely, with huge windows but its so cold in there all the time. So the fire place has become a great treat.

20-My car, Louie. He's been so great and a lot more reliable than my old car Rosemary, who's still kicking!

21- For the people I have made in Pocatello. Getting myself out of the comfort zone when it comes to friends has been spectacular for me. Plus my old friends are just as amazing! So grateful for their support in my move and in my new life changes. I love all my friends grateful and I would never trade them for anything in this world.

22- I love that I am feeling happy, healthy, confident, and living my life.
