There Is Beauty All Around!

Hello! Wasn't today a BEAUTIFUL day?! Seriously! I loved it. This photo was taken by the pioneer woman. I love that color blue and wanted to share some beauty with all of you!

UGH.

This is what the insides of my stomach feels like. except not cute fruity butterflies, black attack butterflies. Doing aerial dives and loop de loops. I think I'm going to be sick...

One Of My Heroes.

I have been thinking about my sister Amber a lot lately. She has been through a rough time right now. She broke her foot and had to have surgery. Unfortunately almost everything that could go wrong did. Including waking up during the middle of surgery and the surgeon cutting a nerve as he dove to catch her from hitting her head on the ground. Yes, it is true. She is coming through like a champ! It's been hard but really no one and I sincerely believe this could handle it better despite what she thinks. This is one of the reasons why she is one of my heroes. I have looked up to her all of my life, well not literally because I passed her up height wise around the age of 11, but I do look up to her in every other way. She is just amazing. She is someone who is completely selfless. As kids she used to come up with all kinds of plans to create and make money. I was always employed in these schemes. Incredible edible boogers and play dough babies are two of my favorites that come to mind. Yes she actually sold these and was successful. Now a days, she has her own photography business, BellaRay Photography, where she does weddings, senior portraits and specializes in babies! She does such stunning photos! She has a gift! Speaking of babies, she has 3, well 3 kids and they are 4 almost 5, 2 almost 3 and one that is almost 1! She is the best mom and really loves her beautiful kids! They are lucky lucky ducks! One thing that I really love and appreciate about my sister is how thoughtful she is. I am always receiving something in the mail that I have talked about, such as that lamp that I gushed about a few months ago. One day I got a call from my mom saying that a package was there from someone. It was the glass balls I needed to make my lamp and Amber sent them to me. She also sent me a cookbook in the mail that I had been wanting and along with it another book that made me laugh for days! She is always encouraging me and helping me through all my woes. :) I really do need her advice for so many things. During my mission, she wrote me every week and sent me packages. I looked forward to her letters and support each week. She has been there for every important event in my life, whether in person or in spirit. She is always thinking about other people whether it is her Visiting Teachees or a neighbor, her husband or a friend she is tireless in her crusade of being Amber and that is a hero to so many people, but especially to me. I get to go out and see her next week again and I am excited. I love to spend time with her and feel very lucky to be her sister. Love you Bambie!
