Be Happy

Lately I've been in some weird funk, where I just haven't really been happy. Which is weird, because if you're reading this then you know that I'm really one of the happiest girls in the world. I love to be happy. When people ask me what my favorite things to do are I usually respond with laughing and smiling. It's true. I love to be happy. So why have I been unhappy lately? I'm not sure, maybe its the weather that's brought me down, maybe I'm stressed and a little homesick, or maybe it's because my best friend is getting married and I really don't know how to react to it. It could be none of those or it could be a mixture of all of them. But I don't like it. I hate being unhappy, let's be honest though, who likes being unhappy? Hopefully no one! But I especially hate it. So I've changed my mind, changed my attitude, and decided that it was time for me to be happy again!! Really though, I have such an amazing life, it would be selfish and awful of me to not be happy. I have the greatest family in the world. A mom and dad who make me laugh and are funny and sweet and still take care of me even though I'm miles and miles away. I have such great friends here that can always make me smile and laugh. I am getting an amazing education and doing what I love and makes me happy. So no more unhappy Becca. No more negative Nancy. Happy Becca is back. It feels so good. Sometimes I just need to remind myself that happiness is a choice. I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY!!!


Oh and let's not forget.....

Obsessed.

In my free time I like to look videos up on youtube and watch covers that people have done on songs. My particular favorite people to look up never seem to disappoint. Justin Robinett and Michael Henry. Seriously. Never disappoint. Look them up. I promise you won't be sorry. Their latest video is a cover to the song "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" originally by Maroon 5. Holy crap. Seriously amazing. I don't even want to listen to the original anymore. So since I've been going on about how amazing these two guys are, here's the video so you can just watch it yourself, and be blown away! They are also pretty funny.. They usually have something random and funny going on in, so be prepared to laugh! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do..


Another side note... These guys are from Lubbock.... Cool right?

When your best friend gets engaged.

This week has been an interesting week. You may recall a post a few months ago about a certain Camie Knight, if you need a refresher you can go here. Well this girl, my very best friend in the whole entire world, the person who knows everything about me. We can go months without seeing each other and weeks with out talking, but when we do talk, or get to see each other it's like nothing has changed. Camie is my best friend that's all there is to it! Well anyway, this week has been interesting because last Sunday night Cam got engaged to Judd Wray. You can check out their cute new blog here! The whole engagement story and all that is on there, I got to be there, and I'll be totally honest... I cried the whole time!! But it was beautiful! Has anyone else been in this situation where someone close gets married and you're still totally single? Because I'm totally accepting advice right about now :) I'm just happy that the two of them still hang out with me.. It will be a fun few months of planning the wedding and then the whole world will change.. In a good way, of course! But congratulations again to my Camie and Judd!! April and 27th is just right around the corner!

And this became....

Long time, no blogging!

Wow, so much has happened since I last blogged I hardly know where to start! But I guess I'll start right where I left off.. Which is right around Christmas break!!!

So, for one fabulous week I got to go home and spend time with my amazing family out in Texas in their beautiful new home! (See picture for proof.) I flew out on Christmas Eve, got there that night, we had some yummy Chinese food for dinner, with some awesome company consisting of my parents, Kenny, Grandpa Haynie and the missionaries! Such a blast! Nathan, Liv and Cozi surprised me that night by coming over! It was so much fun to see them, and play with my adorable niece who I've barely gotten to see!
Christmas was a fun, relaxed day.. Actually, I will be honest, it wasn't that fun. I got sick with the flu and was stuck in bed the whole day! But at least it was only a 24 hour thing, because then I got to party with my family the rest of the week! Basically I didn't do much, just hung out with my family and got some awesome new clothes with my mom!! I loved being with my parents, and siblings. I love and miss them so much and I'm so grateful for them!!! I also celebrated my 20th birthday while in Texas, and I wouldn't have had it any other way! I love my family! Enjoy these few pictures from my adventures in the great big state of Texas!!
