"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Birthday Date with Emily

BIRTHDAY DATE WITH EMILY
Emily planned this amazing birthday gift for me- and this was not an easy task!  She took me to Bennion Craft for a painting class!!  It was SO MUCH FUN!!  I've always seen these classes and figured it was way above me and my abilities, but I felt pretty competent the whole time!  I mean, I was nervous with each new step and worried I'd screw it up, but I was actually really happy with my finished product! It's not horrible at all :).  It was a lot of fun to spend that time with Emily too.  She is of course a very talented artist so I tried not to compare my work to hers, but she was very gracious and encouraging.  She's amazing.  And such a great friend.  I can't wait to do the next class together :).  Still need to upload the picture I took of mine.  2-11-17
I really love how my tree turned out- especially the heart.  If I could go back, I'd redo drawing my barn!  I totally did that part wrong.  It's not too noticeable- just extra critical I guess.
