  • Focus on fully enjoying NOW☀️. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love to look at and plan the future- but sometimes, especially these days, all the uncertainty of the future overwhelms me & stresses me out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead, I’m trying to soak up every moment of the present & enjoy that- because it’s all we are guaranteed anyway! For me, I’m living in the present by fully enjoying Utah & making memories with Ryan here! We LOVE living here because of all there is to do and see! But in less than 6 months we’re going to be living way too far away from this beautiful place. So we are soaking it up & doing all we can to fully enjoy all that Utah and the western US has to offer while we are still living here! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are YOU thankful for in your life right now? Spend today truly focusing on and enjoying whatever that is 💛
  • What’d you do this past weekend? We visited Canyonlands & had a blast!!.. minus when I lost my footing while climbing a wall of rocks and began sliding down a steep cliff 😳But hey I’m safe and survived 🎉 & between the near death experience, rain on the way back, & beautiful views all along the trail, we will NEVER forget that hike!
  • Reality - expectations = happiness. ☀️ aka if you don’t have any expectations, it’s much easier to be happy! Going into this hike, we had no expectations of what to expect & we were completely blown away by these views 😍
  • Life Hack for when you don’t feel like working out: If you don’t want to work out right now but know you need to before the day is over, set an alarm for in a couple of hours. AND YOU CAN’T ERASE THE ALARM UNTIL YOU WORKOUT. 😱 • This is a trick I use on myself a lot, especially when I don’t have a buddy to hold me accountable. 👯‍♀️ Yes, it’s annoying having your alarm go off every 10 minutes, that’s why you’ll go get that workout in so you can shut that alarm off! 😜 • I just posted on my blog tips I use to motivate myself to workout whenever I don’t feel like it because many of you really liked my Instagram post about it a few weeks ago 💚. Go check out my link in my bio for more in-depth tips that really help me & will motivate you, too!
  • Sometimes I have to do a second take when I look at these mountains. Feel so blessed to have them right in my backyard 😍. • Side note: remember Instagram is a highlight reel!!! I love the community, positivity, & inspiration that Instagram brings to my life- & that’s what I try to include on my page. I think it’s important to focus on the positives, but never compare the quality of your life to someone’s highlights on Instagram. I know we’ve all heard this before, but I’ve caught myself comparing a good bit lately & have had to remind myself- Instagram isn’t the whole picture. My life is great & full & so is yours! The ups, downs, & all the in betweens. 🧡
  • Marriage= joy, love, fights, hard times, fun times, ups, downs, arguments, happiness, disagreements, & the best memories. • Here’s to 2 YEARS into foralways 😉 (what we used to say to each other when we were young & in the honeymoon stage & super cheesy) ilysm & cant wait to see what the future brings ❤️
