“Had Elizabeth been able to encounter his eye, she might have seen how well the expression of heartfelt delight, diffused over his face, became him; but, though she could not look, she could listen, and he told her of feelings, which, in proving of what importance she was to him, made his affection every moment more valuable.” Jane Austin

Life is so wonderful.  I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about what it means to be close to someone, what it means to value time and many other things. After such thoughts I am positive Life is complicated.  There are no bright answers, I just know that the relationships I have in my life should be more valuable...not in a romantic kind of way, but in make an effort kind of way. (See every P+P moment has some type of insight!)

In other news I have been learning more about cooking every day.  It is a really terrible work in progress, but a work in progress nonetheless.  I have no clue what the next few years have in store for me, but I really hope it involves better cooking!

I have been volunteering at the TRC. I have seen a lot of friends and the spirit I have felt is incredible. 

Classes are classes. I am trying to be above average.  Trying. :)

Family is great!  I miss them and love them.  I just bought a ticket to fly out and see them over Easter weekend, where my parents will be vacationing with Max.  I am excited to go to the beach again.

 So grateful for my Testimony and the Gospel in my life.  TTFN.

Yes I am capable of managing my life! I have been so busy lately, and life seems to be really teetering on a precarious balance of spiritual, physical, emotional, not to mention knowledge (school). Balancing things is not always the easiest. I received a priesthood blessing earlier in the week to help balance everything, and The Lord's help was incredibly beneficial. I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life!

In other news I am officially in a super awesome relationship! I feel so happy all the time. I almost feel like it is too good to be true! For Valentines day we went to the ballet, as well as the ward Valentines day party. It was a two day valentines day. Something I would definitely approve of for all future couples! Our relationship is really funny, it seems to be a constant emotional abusive battle of knowledge and mind games, but for some reason it seems to make us smile more than anything else.

I am always trying to keep up with this new college thing. It is a unique experience, and different from my high school years. Keeping good grades isn't always the easiest, like it was before, but I am determined to do my best not to mention try my best. I am mostly struggling with the test taking and the performance, since HW doesn't really matter anymore. If I can just average above 85% my life would be good.

My friends are so awesome and so strong. I am so grateful for their influence, especially my roommate Julie! She is always there for me and I am so glad I have been able to be friends with her!

Hope everyone has a good three day weekend. Loves!

My life has been wonderful.  Brilliantly so.  It is breath taking. I never thought life could take me the places I am currently living.  Every night I go to bed so happy. I don't know where life will take me, but I am excited to see the turns.

Everything is changing in a slowly but surely "revolution."  Old friends are moving on, some of my once called best friends.  This change is disheartening, but change is valuable in many forms, sometimes you just have to look for the joy in the journey.

My new job is wonderful, it keeps me on my feet, but I am really starting to enjoy it! Classes are superb.  Who knows if I will get A's, hopefully I do.  I loved being an A student. Church is interesting.  I have a new calling and it is good.

Can't wait to see what the future brings and where life takes me. 

Shout out to my best friend (we will see if she sees this!).  She is going to be such a good missionary, she goes through the temple this week.  I know the people of Washington will be blessed to have her.
