Mesa Temple

I saw the Mesa Temple earlier this summer for the first time and have to say it is stunning. I have seen pictures but they just don't do it justice! The grounds were also beautiful and gave off a serene and peaceful feeling.

Even though I took this with my phone it still shows how exquisite this place is.

I am so grateful for temples and the work that goes on inside of them. It is so wonderful that more and more are being constructed, and I cannot wait until the dedication of the old Provo Tabernacle next year!

Paradise Hike

A couple weeks ago my bestie and I, along with her Pappy, drove up to Paradise in Mt. Rainier Natl Park and went for an amazing hike. It was a 4.5 mile loop that went up the side of Mt. Rainier and was absolutely stunning. On the way up we looked out at Panorama Point and were able to see the tops of Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Hood. It was all blue skies and gorgeous landscapes.

I spy with my little eye a Marmot. Can you see this little cutie?

 They are everywhere up there!

Very hard to see but this is the view where you can see Mt adams, Mt hood, and Mt St Helens.

We were 2 miles away from Camp Muir and 2.5 days away from the top of Mt. Rainier. This place is absolutely stunning and I highly recommend this hike to anyone who gives a hoot about the beautiful Pacific Northwest :)

Today's Project

Today I revamped a boring dresser and gave it a refreshing new look. 

Did I take a "before" pic? No.

But here are the afters...

I had to use a water-base paint because the particular color that I chose did not come in the oil-base can that I was hoping to get, so I just used a water-base gloss after. 

I chose to paint the handles a brassy gold by improvising with the colors that I had and mixed gold and black together. I think it turned out ok!

I <3 it!

Sad, but true.

Wish me luck on my first full marathon!!!!!

Just kidding. I'm on my fourth cupcake.
