Life Goes On:

Life is tough. I'm not used to getting attached to people and building relationships with them and then having them leave. I don't like it, at all. I know it's for a good reason, but it's just really hard. I can't imagine having to do this with someone who I am in love with. It must be awful. Yet, people do it all the time. Guys go on Missions and leave there girls behind. You just have to deal with it and go on with your life.

"In three words I can sum up everything I now about life: It goes on." -Robert Frost.

Mr Frost is right, life does go on. You look at quotes and movies, and even the advise that people give you and think "Oh, I can do that." but it's much harder to do it. Life is hard, and you need to be tough and smart. You need to work at it everyday. You need to work on bettering yourself everyday as well. Life is tough, but for good reasons. It's our test. God wouldn't give us a trial that we couldn't handle. He knows us individually. Put your life in God's hands and watch it flourish. I know things in my life may seem rough now, but I trust my Father, and I know that one day I will look back on this and laugh. And so will you. Don't ever give up. You are loved, and you are beautiful.

Saying Goodbye:

Saying goodbye to people you have come to know and care about is really hard. I hate saying goodbye, it's the worst thing. Especially if you know that you're not going to see them for two years.. My roommate and Best Friend are strong gals. I don't want to say goodbye anymore, I want a hello instead. I miss you, and you. Goodbye.

My Testimony:

One of my favorite places in the world? The Salt Lake Temple. Any Temple, really, but the Salt Lake is like home. You just feel such a peace in the Temple, and you can just feel the love. That's where I am getting married, too. Beautiful, isn't it? It looks like a castle, and I am a daughter of a king, soooo.. :) Go to the Temple as much as you can, it is a beautiful experience in any Temple. Keep the Gospel in your life and always have your mind of God and our bother Jesus Christ.

I have a strong testimony of this Gospel. I know that Jesus died for us and suffered for us, so that we could repent for our sins. I know that the Prophet Joseph Smith restored the Gospel and that he was a true, living Prophet. I know that President Monson is a true Prophet and his words are Gods words. I know that this church is true and I am so grateful for it in my life, I don't know what my life would be if I didn't have the Gospel in my life. I love this Gospel and I love my father and brother in Heaven. Keep the lord in your life, especially throughout the Christmas season.

'Tis the Season:

December first. What a beautiful season. Everything is covered in pure white, sparkling snow. It's the season of joy, love, and the season when we celebrate the beautiful birth of our Savior. It really is a magical time of year, you just feel the excitement, and beauty of it all. When I saw the snow last night, I was in a trance from the sparkle and the beauty of just a simple little thing. We take for granted the little things in our life, when all along, they bring us the most joy. This is the season to reflect on the blessings in your life. Not only the big blessings, but also the small, usually not counted for blessings. This is the season to engross yourself in service and in Christ, our Savior.
