Fame or Fortune?

Which is better? Which is best? Which one would you want? 

Which one would make you happiest? Which one would you kill for? 

Fame or fortune?

Money or popularity?

Love or wealth?

Fortune doesn't bring happiness.

Fortune brings greed and want.

Want for things we don't need. 

Fame doesn't bring happiness.

Fame brings selfishness.

The want to always been seen. 

Which to choose? Which one is best?

Which one would make me happiest?

Perhaps if I must choose, I'd choose fame.

Fame means people know your name,

People recognize you in the streets,

People want to meet you, see you, stalk you, pretend to love you.

They love the you they see in the press,

Not the you that's at your core.

Not the real person you've worked so hard to become. 

So maybe fortune is the better course,

The real answer to a better life.

The choice I should make.

Fortune means you can buy what you want,

Cars, houses, clothes, makeup, and even friends.

People who want you for your money.

They love you because you can buy them things,

Not because of who you really are.

Not the real person you've worked so hard to become.

Will either one give you happiness?

Will either one make you the person you've wanted to be?

Will either one change you for the better?

Fame or fortune?

Fortune or fame?

Which is better? Which is best?

Two Years

November 3rd, 2012, during a picnic on a hill in my favorite park, Chris proposed to me. At the time I didn't think any other event in my life would be as wonderful, as exciting, as magical. 

Six months later on May 11th, 2013 we were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Draper, Utah LDS Temple, and began our married life together. 

Again, I didn't think any other day of my life would be as magical as the day I made Chris officially mine to love for eternity. 

But, time and time again I've been proven wrong. 

Everyday with Chris gets better and better. Back on the day we got married I didn't think it was possible to love this boy more, but I'm always proven wrong. 

We've been through a lot in our two years of marriage. Moving multiple times, living in Texas, leaving college, switching jobs, minor medical procedures, getting pet fish, losing friends, vacations, and so much more. 

We've had trials, we've had fun. We've had arguments that were resolved with laughter. We've done so much to give each other happiness. 

I love my Christopher and can't believe we've been together nearly four years when it feels like I've known him my entire life. 

Today, on our two year wedding anniversary, I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful, loving, smart, sexy, brilliant, strong, patient, giving, and handsome husband. I've never loved anyone more and can't imagine spending a single day without him. 

He's my best friend and the love of my life. 

Happy two year anniversary baby! Here's to an eternity more. 

Happy Mother's Day

Hey friends, I just wanted to write a quick post for Mother's Day. And it's very last minute and unplanned so no judging.

I have been so blessed to marry into such a wonderful family, particularly my mother-in-law. I love watching how she interacts with her boys, like they're the most amazing people in the world (and in Chris's case, she's right). She's one of the nicest people I have ever met and I'm so happy I get to call her family. I love you Michelle! Happy Mother's Day!

I owe everything to my mom. I would not be the person I am today without her, I would hardly be able to function without her! She's given me a life where I was free to live my dreams and supports me in every single one of them. To some people it may seem like a small thing, but when I told my parents I was leaving college and they were both incredibly supportive about it, it made me realized how truly blessed I am. I know my parents want the best for me and they're willing to stand behind me when I leave getting an educations because the love me and trust me.

I know that turned into a rant about my mom and dad, but mom, I hope you have the most amazing Mother's Day! You inspire me everyday and if someday I can grow up to be a mother like you then I'll know I've succeeded in life. I love you more than anything!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!

I hope your day is wonderful and you remember how incredibly loved you all are!
