[the.reel.fisch.story]: [.if you want to be happy, be.]

[.if you want to be happy, be.]

Around last April I fell in love...with a trailer. Lance and I spent our summer looking for the best one for us. The best fit for our future, within our budget, with our needs..and wants of course!

Neither of us are picky whatsoever ;) Ha.

I wanted a slide, with bunks and a LOT of storage!

Lance wanted a good price for a newer trailer..with some other things too, I guess.

Well after what seems to have been 100 trailers later, we kept going back to the one we originally had loved. After Jackson we decided to get pretty serious. We went back to Ed Kenley to talk to some people about "The Cougar". If you know my husband you know that it takes him years, okay maybe only months, to make a decision when it comes to the big things.

I often give him crap for knowing how we knew to marry me. If it takes him that long to make a decision on a car, trailer, motorcycle, etc. How in the world did he know to choose me for eternity!?

Anyway, the second I walked into this trailer again I told Lance it was ours, I don't care, it is! For the heck of it we decided to low ball the bank to see if they would take our offer, they couter offered, we countered back and they accepted. I was SO excited, but didn't want to act that way just incase something didn't work out.

Once it was hitched up to the truck and we were driving away with it, THEN I was really excited!

I know some people think we are crazy for buying these things we want, but I know that we will have many memories in our second home away from home and just that thought makes it well worth it!

Can't wait to take it out next week!

"for attractive lips, speak words of kindness. for lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. for a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. for poise, walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone. people, even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone." - audrey hepburn

Take Time: Take time to think-
It is the source of all power. Take time to read- It is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to play- It is the source of perpetual youth. Take time to be quiet- It is the opportunity to seek God.
Take time to be aware- It is the opportunity to help others. Take time to love and be loved- It is God’s greatest gift.
Take time to laugh- It is the music of the soul. Take time to be friendly- It is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream- It is what the future is made of. Take time to pray- It is the greatest power on earth.
Take time to give- It is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to work- It is the price of success. There is a time for everything.

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

No regrets, just lessons learned.

♥
You're BRAVER than you believe
STRONGER than you seem
and
SMARTER than you think.
♥
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

♥
Between laughing for no reason, stupid arguments, long talks and making fun of each other ... I fell in love with you.
♥
I am STRONG because I am weak.
I am beautiful because I know my flaws.
I am a [lover] because I'm a fighter.
I am fearless because I have been afraid.
I am WISE because I have been foolish.
I can {laugh} because I've known sadness.
♥
In all living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not endured.
♥
Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
♥
It may be a cRaZY life, but it's our life.
♥
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised
it'd be worth it.

"Marriage in its truest sense, is a partnership of equals, with neither exercising dominion over the other, but, rather, with each encouraging and assisting the other in whatever responsibilities and aspirations he or she might have."
- Gordon B. Hinckley

True strength is keeping yourself TOGETHER when everyone expects you to FALL APART

I believe in Pink.
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing alot.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happiest girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
♥
I may not be perfect - but I'm always me!
♥
Judge me - I'll prove you wrong.
Tell me what to do - I'll tell you off.
Tell me I'm not worth it - Watch where I end up.
Screw me over - and I'll do it to you twice as bad.
Call me crazy - You really have no idea.
♥
Laugh your heart out
Dance in the rain
Cherish the moment
Ignore the pain
Live, Laugh, Love
Forgive and forget
Life's to short to be living with regrets.
♥
People that don't know me, think I'm quiet.
Truth is:
People that know me, wish I was.
♥
Isn't it ironic?
We ignore the ones to adore us
Adore the ones that ignore us
love the ones who hurt us
and hurt the ones that love us.
♥
Tell me I can't - and I'll show you I can.
♥
The only people you need in your life are the ones that need you in theirs.
♥
I don't forgive people because I'm weak
I forgive them because I'm strong enough to know people make mistakes.
♥
I am regularly irregular.
♥
Of course women don't work as hard as men - we get it right the first time!
♥
It's okay if you don't like me .. the ones that matter think I'm awesome.
♥
The biggest tragedy of life is not to live - not to function with your full soul, with your whole life, with enthusiasm, with spirit, with faith, with love.
♥
When life gets to hard to stand - kneel!
♥
When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life a thousand reasons to smile.
♥
Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change. Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything, and have NO regrets. Life is too short to be anything but happy.
♥
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things falls apart so better things can fall together.
