My Future...

As I have gone through these last couple of weeks, I have been thinking a lot about my future, what I want to do, who I want to be and the kind of people I want to be with. Especially who I want to eventually marry. I made a short (ish) list of what I want to look for in my future spouse.
1. He needs to Honor his Priesthood
2. Live and love the gospel
3. He has to be good with kids. It makes a guy so much more attractive if he loves playing with young children!!!
4. He has to be taller than me (not too hard cause I'm only 5'5"...)
5. Being spontaneous is always a major plus!
6. He has to be a romantic... the kind of guy who would bring me flowers at work, or school... just because he can!
I am sure that there is more, but I really just would want a man who loves me for me!!

He Knows Our Need, He Hears Our Silent Prayers

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, they got better! I chose to go to Institute and it seriously made my day all better. I had a bad attitude and felt really worthless and then I went to that class and was silently reminded that the Lord is always there for us. I felt the spirit so strongly and felt so loved and welcomed by everyone who was there. Being reminded of this past weekend, Conference Weekend, and the things I learned and heard, it helped me put a smile on my face. It helped me realize that I do have a purpose in life and I do have goals that I want to accomplish. The Church is true. I know that now. The Lord hears our prayers, even when sometimes we don't say it out loud, he still hears us. He knows what we need and will send us people who can help us get through the trials we are facing. I love this gospel that I am privileged to be apart of. I am so blessed!!

Life is Good!!!

What is that word that they use in Bambi when they feel love? Is it twitterpaited? I think I now know the meaning of that word! I seriously have been blown off my feet. Sometimes opportunities present themselves to you when you are least expecting them. When you stop looking, then will you find what you were always looking for. Institute is a great place... it helps you find yourself. And in some cases... it helps you find true love!!!
Even though school has been hard, and classes aren't what I thought they would be, I know that this is what I need to be doing. I need to be in school. I need to get my education. Once I get through all this headache of school, if I stay on the right path, the Lord will help me with my future. For now, I just have to trust in him.
Sorry that got kinda churchy, but that is just how I have felt lately.

Life if great. Even though sometimes it can be quite the climb, the view is amazing!
