Lucky Girl

Do you have those days, or even weeks, when you feel completely frustrated with life?

I sure hope other people do, and that I'm not the only one.

Maybe it's the planner in me...

The planner that gets kind of disappointed that life

is not necessarily going to the places I had mapped out! 

I've been thinking a lot lately about my life plan

and feeling a little low. 

I decided I needed to do something to pull me

out of that frame of mind!

And what better way to do that than to focus

on what I DO have and the things I am

grateful for! 

Not to long ago I posted about my newly created

Pinterest bucket list. The other day I was looking 

for things to add to that list and I realized just what 

a lucky girl I am. 

There were all kinds of things on other pinner's bucket lists

that I had done! It made me stop to think about how 

blessed I am!

And that even though there are plenty of things 

I want for my life, there are way more

things that I HAVE done!! 

Here are just a few things that I can mark

as DONE on my bucket list!! 

(Delicious!! I  tried it when I visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter) 

(I caught my friend Tiffany's beautiful bouquet)

(First color run: June 22, 2013)

(Who doesn't love "that-thing-we-call-movies")

(I got to watch the woman's giant slalom at the 2002 winter Olympics) 

(I graduated from the University of Utah in 2009 with

a degree in Early Childhood Education) 

(Jumped in a pool, in my bridesmaid dress, at my brother

and sister-in-laws wedding reception) 

(The city of lights!!! I loved it and would definitely

go again!)

(Best.Pasta.EVER)

(The first time I flew was to California when I was 8) 

(I recently threw both of my parents surprise 50th

birthday parties) 

(I saw this one and thought it was pretty cool!

It was honestly something I never thought about

before and I've always taken for granted)
