Life's Complete

Since I have moved to Provo, I have been watching this show NONSTOP! I can thank my roommate Danika for my new addiction because she owns ALL 10 SEASONS! One night, I was watching this (by myself I might add) and one of the characters made me laugh SOOO HARD! I was dying, and my roommate was downstairs and heard me, she liked it. So...I guess all this friends watching is a good thing because it brings a lot of laughter into our home...right? :) 

THANK YOU DANIKA!

My Buddy

Man do I miss this lil' guy. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him, and today I CAN'T STOP thinking about him. Love you buddy, I promise I'll come visit.

Happy's and Sads

Hello everyone in blogger world, it sure has been FOREVER hasn't it? Well I am here now, and I must say, I am WAY past due.

Well my life thus far isn't too much different than when the last time you heard from me, other than I got a new job at Mimi's Cafe in Orem, and I just signed a year lease to live in a house in Provo with my friends Danika and Lala....pretty boring, I know, but I ain't no mom :)

Anyway, this post is pretty much a shout out to my older sister Rach. You see, she and I over the past few years, have grown really close....and I just had to say goodbye to her yesterday because her and her lil family moved to Florida. This was one of the hardest things I've done in a long time. This past year was unreal. Her lil 3 yr old Lennon basically became my kid for a while and my best buddy. Talking about this lil guy chokes me up. Waking up every morning excited to see his lil face and hear his sweet voice is something I will cherish forever. I have such a tight bond to that lil guy, I hope it lasts forever. I miss you Lennon, you really did take a piece of my heart with you.

Holden is a living miracle, such a blessing to us all, and the most happy baby I have ever seen. So happy to be here in his family on this earth. He made such an awesome decision to stay here, he has the best parents in the world and the greatest older brother. Holden, you are amazing, I miss your gapped teeth and contagious smile. Don't forget about me.

Besus, the freaking man! I could hang out with that guy every single day and never get sick of it. So glad my sister married such a stud. You take care of my sis out there ok?

Rachy Poo, words can't express the amount of appreciation and love I feel toward this gal. She has taught me so much just simply by example. Her strength I've seen this past year has inspired not only me, but everyone around her. She has the best sense of humor, and makes everyone feel like a hundred bucks. I already miss your morning face, funny dance, trash talking self. So grateful to have a sister also be called my best friend. I miss you Rach. I love you.

Now I'm gonna stop crying, and get to what everyone really wants...to look at pictures :) here are some from the trip out to Florida my family and I took. Enjoy.

Holden

Sorry Rach, but I have to post these pictures! I got the chance a few nights ago to go see my lil nephew Holden in the NICU, and what an experience it was. Farrah came along too and met Rach and I there. Her eyes were full of tears the whole time, which of course made my eyes tear also. It's such an amazing feeling being in there, all of the little babies and machines and beeping, yet so spiritual at the same time. Rach has been blessed with some awesome nurses, one in particular, Linda. Seeing her with Holden was unreal. You can tell she truly cares about this lil guy. She talks to him and takes so many pictures of him, she is honestly an angel. There is no other way to describe her. Watching her care for my sweet nephew was so touching, it makes me emotional thinking about it, she is without a doubt fulfilling her mission here by being with these sweet babies. Thanks Rach and Farr for your spirit and bringing it into that environment.

Rach, I admire your strength and positive attitude and your faith in the Lord and His plan for you. You are truly an inspiration, I love you. I feel so blessed to be around you Rachel. I can't imagine the feelings you feel right now, but I've seen a glimpse and I know its hard, but I want you to know that whatever happens, you, of all people, can and will get through it. I have no doubt in my mind that Holden will be just fine because of your unwavering faith and trust in the Lord. Your boys are so blessed to have you as their mom, really. No matter how much I spoil Lennon and give him kisses and loves, at the end of the day, he wants you. I can't imagine a greater feeling for you. Thanks for bein who you are. Sisters stick together :) I love you and I love helping you. The more time I spend with you, the better :)

Anyway here are some pictures of the lil guy, Rachel had the chance to bathe him and I'm so glad I got to be there, and snap some photo's!

Grandma's birthday/Mayci's blessing

What an awesome day today was. First of all it was fast Sunday. I love fast Sundays. I feel the spirit so much more on fast Sundays and it's usually right when I need it the most. Second of all, it was little Mayci Jo's baby blessing today. What an awesome blessing it was. Shawn, good job, you brought the spirit into the room to start the sacrament meeting off on the right foot. Third of all, Jake, Dad, and Farrah all bore their testimonies today and honestly I couldn't be more proud to be a part of the family I am. It was so good to hear the testimonies of my family members and to know how strongly they felt about the truthfulness of the Gospel. Thanks you guys for that. I cried :) Fourth of all it was my Grandma's 85th birthday today! She is such a treat. When I look at her I can't help but smile. She is an amazing person. Words cannot describe how amazing she is. Being around her you can feel how close she is to the Lord, and she truly does love you. She's a great example to us all as she serves others and LOVES EVERYONE! Thanks Grandma :) Love you.

Well, that about wraps up today, does it sound neat to you? Because it was neat. If I haven't told you before, I Love You.

-Sincerely, borris

(P.S. Mayce has definitely grown since these pictures, I just didn't have any recent ones of her :) )

Help Please

Crying...

...I do it a lot. Is that normal? Is crying healthy? I swear I cry more than the average person, and I swear I cry over the dumbest things. I guess it's better to show your emotions on your sleeve then to hold them in. Sometimes I try to hold things in, and I do good for about a week, then I ALWAYS have a break down. It's pathetic really. Oh, and whenever I read Farrah's blog, it makes me cry, it really does tug at my lil heart strings. Even just looking at sweet Lennon's little face gets me so teary eyed, I am right now thinking about it. I honestly can't wait til the day comes when I am getting married in the temple. Because then, I will be able to have kids :) Whenever I hear my sisters talk about how awesome it was to be sealed to your spouse for eternity gets me super excited. Also, it motivates me to be a better person and to continue to be worthy to enter into the temple because that is what my spouse will be looking for in me. A worthy girl.

My sisters always have the best advice, and one night in particular, my sister gave me the best advice anyone could ever get. I am positive it was through the spirit that she was able to tell this to me....I'm not trying to brag, but I think a lot about others. Too much in fact. My life now is stagnent because I think too much about others and I lose myself in it all. I lose my goals in life, I lose motivation to do anything for myself and to be successful. And my sister said that I need to focus more on my own happiness. Be a little more selfish. Go to the temple more, read my scriptures more, write in my journal, hang out and date good people who have the same goals and values in life. Surround yourself with goodness and get my spirit uplifted. Build a stronger testimony of the church, it can always be strengthened.

I ramble so much it's unreal, but I don't have my journal handy so this will have to do. The bottom line is, when we struggle, when we cry about sad things, that is when we need to turn to the Lord the most. I have heard that my whole life, but never really thought it would happen to me until now. Things change, but in the end everything will work out. For now, I am going to continue doing what I'm doing, but put the Lord first in it all. Here I am crying, but whats new?

This is so long, but I wanna thank my family. I know for a fact I would not be where I am if it weren't for them. My mom has been the best through everything, she has been talking to me about it and comforting me about everything and I couldn't be more grateful for that. Just to get a call from someone and talk about nothing makes me feel good. So thanks mom. Thanks to Rachel and Farrah. I can't tell you how many times you have saved me. I love you.
Goodnight.
