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...

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long. I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...
