finding Milly

My favorite times are when I feel so incredibly blessed for no particular reason. I love my life, my Family, my Friends, my job, school and my Lord so much. I feel I might burst.

Find joy in the little things and you'll find yourself.

midnight and still runnin.

I just made a necklace for a friend's brides maids. All of it was her idea/ideas from Etsy, I really like the end product, however, I feel like something is missing. Insight from you artsy-fartsy friends out there would be greatly appreciated.

I just have to say: life is amazing, isn't it?

I mean really. Let me tell you something that makes me so happy. I LOVE spring. I am so happy it is here to grace us with its presence. It has been pretty warm, there are blossoms on the trees, the grass is beginning to get more and more green and it's getting closer to SUMMER!!! I love LOVE summer. Here's to just a few more weeks. And here's my latest favorite of spring:

This is an old barn by my parents' house. The house in which I grew up. The wind was blowing a little and the branches were moving when I took the picture. At first I didn't like this, but then I was looking at it and the only thing in motion is that tree. This old barn has been constant for decades as life around it has been in motion. This may be cheesy, but I really love this photo for that reason.

This is at the park across the street from where I work at Sugarhouse Veterinary Hospital. I like the contrast of a tree that hasn't quite awakened from its winter sleep and the tree blossoming with life.

This is also across the street from where I work. This makes me want to go take a nap outside.

oh.. oopsie! JK!

Soo two days ago, I virally announced my plan for my latest bucket list cross off..... the next morning my cousin Jacque and I woke up with the FLU! we are still not better and we had to cancel our extravaganza for tomorrow. HOW SAD IS THAT! however, I will have you know, I would definitely rather be sick on vacation with Miss Jacque Cortez than with any other person on the planet. That's how much I love her! This girl is amazing!

i mean, look at that beautiful face. she's got a beautiful soul to match it. We've definitely had some cousinly bonding as we are hacking up lungs and looking/ feeling like death.... She's been taking good care of me, always willing to get me some tea and asking how i'm feeling and has been making sure I am the most comfortable. Such a good hostess, amazing cousin and stellar friend. I love you Jacque!!!

Carpe Diem!

Hello, blogging world! I decided I may be the worst blogger in the world, but that is ok. That just means there is always room for improvement, right? Plus, let's be honest, my life hasn't been THE most exciting ever as of late. School full time+work full time=BOE-RING. But, I do have to say, I can update that picture. The one up top. Yes, the Bucket List! I get to knock one thing off of it! I sang in front of a crowd! However, it was not exactly how I wanted to do it. If you want you can view the video of my friends and I bustin up Karaoke night at Provo Beach Resort right here. I am still going to actually sing in front of a crowd, and not just all sillily like. But, for reals. This was just to break the ice, I guess ;)

BUT I have even BIGGER news!! You wanna hear it? Are you ready for this? Are you SURE?! Ok. here it is.....

I, Mikelle Iva Latimer, am going

SKYDIVING

on Saturday with my dear cousin Jacque. HOW FANTASTIC IS THAT?! I am so excited for it. SO excited! I pray that my parachute actually goes off and that I do not die... because, I mean really, how can I leave such a great bucket list hangin, you know what I mean?

Well, peace out, homies. Pray my parachute works and that I don't fudge my huggies.

3 Cheers for Carpe Diem!!!
