Sometimes I just feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life, who love and support me in all that I do. Aside from my family, I have truly been blessed with a handful of tremendous people to help me down this sort of scary path called life. I often find myself wondering what I did to deserve such wonderful friends, and although we tease each other like there is no tomorrow, I know without a shadow of a doubt that there wont be a single situation where I wont be able to turn to any of them for help. They are all so different but so patient and kind and wonderful. Each one is teaching me something different and blessing my life in a different way and I absolutely love it. Talking with one dear friend tonight I made the comment that we were like one big happy family. I quickly said actually we're like one big dysfunctional family, which may sound like a negative thing but is actually something positive. Perfect is boring. Normal is boring. And we tease and joke because we care so much about each other. It is an amazing thing to find a group of people who can be an extension of your family. I absolutely love it. And although things in my life aren't perfect, I am going to bed tonight completely overwhelmed with gratitude for so many beautiful people.

He is simply his own person and there are endless characteristics/qualities that he possess that I would love to develop in myself. So I mean it is easy to say that I love the kid to death. But he spoke in sacrament meeting and the spirit that he brought was truly inspiring, and stronger than anything I have felt in a long time. It touched my heart. And I knew that he was called of God to serve, that he is worthy to serve, and that he has a testimony of the gospel and our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was such an incredible experience. When he concluded he played an original arrangement of Be Still My Soul on the piano and again the spirit was overwhelming. That is my favorite hymn, and it brings me so much comfort which I coincidentally really needed at that moment. Reminding ...
