February Fourteenth

here are five reasons i love today:

1. my mom is here

in high school i had friends that really did not like their moms. even still i know people who wouldn't really care if their mom came to visit. i am whatever is the opposite of that. i love my mom more than i love most anyone, ever. when she comes to town all i want to do is hang ten with her. i think it comes from the year after my dad died. it was her and i, we relied on each other for almost everything.  and spent a lot of time together, mostly in her bed but sometimes we took trips or went to get froyo. now i just love her to pieces and never want her to leave this little town of provo.

2. i just found an e-mial my dad sent me on a sunday night at 8 PM three years ago entitled "Lyrics to Tie me Kangaroo Down"

sometimes i find little reminders like this of what a sweetheart my dad is. and when i say sweetheart really i just mean dork. i remember the night he sent it to me; him and i had been having a sing-a-long of sorts as we often did. i picked the songs, he played the guitar and we both sang along. this particular night we were singing Tie Me Kangaroo Down and i got bored after the first two versus but true to form dad kept on singing...all eight versus! he sent me the lyrics so i could know them for the nest time we sang the song, and now i know them all.  

3. its valentines day!

typically single people hate valentines day, but i am so happy being single that i just dont even care! i am happy for people that are happy and know that one day i will be just as happy. present nikka is happy for future nikka and that is just fine by me. 

4. no school on monday

three day weekend, nuff said. 

5. my little ca(skateboard)r got a new clutch 

nothing feels better under my left foot than four inch heels or a new clutch. so i am a pretty happy girl. 


overall life is good. as always, but today i am especially grateful for my blessings and especially my family. 

so happy thursday to you

xoxo

His Will

Recently I have been thinking about the Lords will in my life. I have realized over the years that it does not matter what I want or when I want it. The Lord will take care of me and allow for me to see little parts of my plan unfold along the path. It may not always make sense and it may not always be easy, but it will work out exactly how it is supposed to.

I am grateful for a God who loves me enough to cut me down and build me up again. I am grateful for a God who has blessed me with a perfectly imperfect family. I am grateful for a God who reminds me every day that He is in control.

This video is amazing and it reminds me who is in charge of my life and why. I will never truly know what is best for me, but He always will and for that I feel extremely blessed.
