Blessings and Gratitude

I know I have already posted once today but this blog is for me more than anything and I have something that I want to say.
I have spent the past few weeks EXTREMELY emotional...and I haven't been able to completely figure out why. And it has been troubling, being so emotional for reasons that I can't explain. I'm talking about crying when I feel the spirit and when a song comes on the radio or when watching a movie/tv show that let's be honest isn't really all that sad. And again today it happened twice...I received a letter from my cousin who just recently entered the MTC and as I read the incredible words that he wrote, words I know he wrote because he was guided by the spirit, tears streamed down my face. Then later tonight I received a message on facebook from a friend's mom. My friend and I aren't even very close and his mom and I aren't even facebook friends, but she took the time to send me a message and see how things were going, and the words she said touched my heart. And I realized right then as I was tearing up, that the emotions I have been feeling have been the Lord and my Father in Heaven reaching out to me, and reminding me of how much I am loved. I am so grateful for that, and I feel so incredibly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life, and to have a Savior, and a Father in Heaven who love me SO MUCH and know me SO WELL that they know when I need a little boost, or a reminder of their unconditional love. And so I go to sleep tonight feeling overwhelmed with the spirit, truly truly grateful.

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or

Every Day Is A Battle

Every day is a battle. Some days I win and some days I lay my head down at night and think "I will try again tomorrow." Life is hard and it was meant to be that way. But even with that knowledge and understanding it is still sometimes a struggle to get through. I am at the point where everything is bothering me. And it is little stupid things and the worst part is that in the back of my head I know that I am being ridiculous. I know that I am over reacting and that I should not be so irritated by these things. But I am. I am bothered by stupid little things. And I don't really know what to do to make that go away. I don't want to push away these people in my life because they are good people. But at the same time I get so angry when I am there and I just cant figure it out. School is crazy right now, and I just started working again, which is great but also rough because that is one more thing I need to worry about. I have a great group of friends that I love spending
