How do you tell someone that they mean the world to you?

How do you tell someone that they mean the world to you? So much that their decisions and actions and emotions have started seeping over into your life! How do you tell them that you feel everything at 1000% and the emotions they are feeling--to and extent you feel them too. How do you tell them that you stay up all night worrying about them. That you are physically, mentally, and emotionally hurting because they are. That you have a love for them and you're not quite sure what that means exactly but it is there and it's not going away anytime soon. And that you would give anything to be able to make everything go away, to be the one who could make them happy! How to you tell them all of that when you feel like the closer you get the farther they pull away. And for every step you take closer to getting back to the way things were, you find yourself taking two steps in the opposite direction. How do you tell them that you are so frustrated by them at time the only thing you want to do is grab them by the shoulders and shake them till they understand. And then at the same time give them the biggest, hardest, longest hug of their life so they know that no matter what you are there. 

HOW?

Touched By The Spirit

My cousin Cade had his Missionary Farewell yesterday and I feel so blessed to have been able to attend. First off, he is amazing. He is one of the funniest people I know and he is smart and a musical genius. 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 ...

The Best Is Yet To Come

I absolutely love this quote! I think I have even talked about it before but ohh well. I am so grateful for my life and the people who are in it! I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for a loving Father in Heaven. I will write more later because I don't have much time before conference starts again, but I cant get over how incredibly blessed I am! The best certainly is yet to come!

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...
