Reflections

Another year has come and gone and so much has happened in this year that i cant believe that i am still standing. there are so many things that i have learned this year and am so greatful for the experiences that i have had, that have continued to help me and have been influential in the making and developing of my character that is in the end ME! so here we are at the end of the year to reflect upon the experiences and trials that i have faced that have made me a stronger better person.

I am so greatful for my family, no matter what i have been through or what i am experiences and currently going through they are always there, they are always there for me no matter what! i can depend on my family to pick me back up at my lowest points in life and carry me under their wing until i am able to make it through the day, there were times this year that i definately thought that life would be a lot better if i just stayed in bed :) which i know everyone thinks at some point. another life lesson learned is how much i loved being a mother and how much i throughly enjoyed the simple things in life and watching a beautiful girl grow up. Another thing that i have learned is that it can all change in a blink of an eye but the real leasson lies in what you do after that.

Jonathan left on his mission and that was a great experience for my family, i am so proud of him and am so greatful for the decision that he has made in going on a mission, I love him and am so proud of all that he stands for and all that he is. he has been so successful on his mission and has grown up spiritually that his letters home are inspiring to me. so much that i have been toying with the idea of going on a mission myself.

As you all may know that over the last few months i have moved up to Logan and have moved into an apartment with 6 other girls, some of which were right out of high school and are definately younger than me, that was a challenge in and of itself, but over that last 4 months i have come to love the girls that i live with and have definately come to love my house my roommates, we had 2 girls move out and now there are just 4 of us and its wonderful, we get along great and love to hang out together, girl talk is always nice and the laughter that goes on in our house in refreshing and never ending, the boys next door are always available to kill a spider, fix the lights assemble and move furniture and let us never forget cook us dinner at 11:30 at night when we are all craving cre'pes, yes it is true we are SPOILED and we love it!

I have also come to love true friends, the ones that listen when you need them to the ones that will tell you what you need to hear despite if you dont want to hear it, they are truely what i needed in my life and i am greatful that i have friends like that. its funny how you think how your life will be one minute and the next your surounded by singles friends in a student ward and living with roommates! my life is crazy and i love it, i am so blessed and in all of this trial and error of life i have come to know personally my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ, that through it all i am still ok, i know that when i am weak and need someone there they are there, i am so greatful for the power prayer and i am so greatful for the scriptures in my life and the preisthood and the men in my life that are worthy to hold such an honor. i am so greatful for all that i have and cannot wait to start another year full of excitment and oportunities,

To everyone that has always had a hand in my life thank you for all you have done for me in my life, may the Lord bless you and yours! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
