The Start Of Something New!

So being home has been a really good thing for me in more ways than just one! :) I've been feeling a lot better now and haven't had as many bad days with my anxiety as I did before. I am going to an awesome councelor and she has been helping me so much! I finally feel like I'm started to get back on my feet again. Although, sleep still does not come easy!
BUT! Then, a week ago from today, I took Grandma Shreeve to Show Low for and eye appointment and we stopped to eat at Pizza Hut for lunch... Well I had my eye on this guy and before he left he walked over to our table and dropped a napkin on the table and it said "call me" with his number and his name on it, and then just walked away! Well Grandma and I couldn't believe what just happened, so she talked me into texting him, so I did! And boy am I glad I did!
His name is Sean and he is from Pinetop! He is 19 and he's the sweetest guy! He plays the guitar and said he might even write me a song! How freakin cute is that! We are so much alike it's almost scary. We have A LOT in common! I can't stop smiling all day long cause he is so dang sweet to me and I love it! We went snowboarding together last Wednesday and hung out again on Friday and I had a blast with him! I'll keep ya updated on what happens later! I'll post pictures later! :)

My Family And Gratitude

So after looking at Emilee's blog, I saw her post about the little baby that passed away and the family that went through the grief of loosing a loved one. It also touched me and made me feel so much gratitude for my family, friends and the Savior. I just have to say that family is truly amazing and is there through the good and the bad, no matter what! I have been through a lot with my anxiety and everything else the past few months and family has become the most important thing in my life!!!! If I haven't thanked you yet for all you have done for me, I am thanking you right now! My family is so amazing and is always there when I need them. I cannot express my gratitude enough for all that you guys have done for me. Even though I know there are times when I get angry and act like a brat, (which I am truly sorry for) I know that you will all be there to comfort me and help me stay strong. I love you guys for having the patience to put up with me!





I want to thank my PARENTS for the love and the support they give to me through EVERYTHING!!! I cannot put into words how grateful I am for them. They are there anytime of the day or night whenever I need them. Thank you for staying by my side and going through the frustration of everything with me, and helping me get through the bad days and sharing my good days.


To my SISTERS, thank you so much for all you guys do for me. For talking to me and being great examples to me. Even though we all have our fights, it's so nice to know that when things go sour, we can always count on each other. Remember to always forgive each other for harsh words or things left unsaid because next to the gospel, family is truly all that matters in this world.

To the rest of my FAMILY, Thank you so much for the love and the comfort you give to me and for caring about me so much. I know that you will always be there when I need you and it's so comforting to know I have people that care about me and love me so much!

To all my FRIENDS, you guys have been the greatest gift in my life. I have realized the past couple of months who my true friends are and why they are in my life! They never let me forget what a special person I am to them and I am so grateful for each and every one of them. They have been there when I needed to vent about things and never judge. I know they were sent to me to be my friends for a reason.

To my SAVIOR.... Words cannot express the gratitude I feel in my heart for the sacrifices he made for us. I know he is there and he feels our pain and knows what we are going through. My mom got me a CD for Christmas and it has a song on there that is called "Every Breath" be Jenny Phillips. Boy if that song didn't hit the spot. The chorus goes "Every breath, Every pain, He knows your heart and he knows your name. The giver of life, the light in your soul. Oh come home, come rest. Let him bless, Your every breath." He really is there for us when we need him and will bless us if we do what is right.

Thank you again to all of you special people in my life and for taking time to read this long blog. I'm just so full of gratitude today and I love you all so much!!!
