Easter

A bit behind, oh well.












My whole family (minus Ruby who was in AMSTERDAM!) went to Arizona for some sunny cousin time. Sadly, I just could not miss school, so I had to stay in Orem. So I drove home on Saturday to visit Coco and Bill and relax at home. Taking baths at my house is so luxurious. I don't have one in my apartment, and whenever I go home I'm like This house is huge! This bathtub is amazing! Look at all this cabinet space! Hahaha, but whenever I'm home I miss my apartment a tiny bit too.
On Sunday, my grandparents picked me up for Music & the Spoken Word. I loooove Music and the Spoken Word and was so grateful to go on Easter and hear the MoTab sing "The Messiah." Each song was from the Messiah, and was so powerful. Being there in person was amazing.

Then we headed to Gardner Village for a delicious Easter Brunch buffet. After quite a long line, we got into the dining room and I couldn't believe my eyes. Food-EVERYWHERE! There was everything you could think of, from salmon/mushroom/spinach rolls (so delish) to fresh crepes to a chocolate fountain. It was so good and so fun.

About 5 or 6 years ago (has it really been that long??) I went to Gardner Village with my grandparents. We went to dinner at Archibald's and they bought me two very beautiful, very special snow globes. I still vividly remember that outing (I ordered chicken cordon bleu) and am so thankful for my grandparents' love and that personal time.
Walking around Gardner Village with them again was just lovely. It was sunny and the flowers were gorgeous. My grandparents are such amazing people. I will forever be grateful for their example. They know how important family is and they constantly show Christ-like love.

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family! My lovely grandparents The newlyweds invited us and their friends to see the lights at Temple Square, then enjoy some pie and hot cocoa at their adorable apartment, conveniently located right by the temple. Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)
The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
