Today started off rough, but has been full of blessings and tender mercies. I felt like I should read Elder Bednar's talk that he gave at his second general conference as an apostle. It's truly a wonderful talk that teaches and reminds us that nothing is merely a coincidence. Here is a link to that talk: The Tender Mercies of the Lord

8 Years Ago...
This month eight years ago, March 2004, was one of the best months of my life ever, up until that point. A lot of great things happened, and I felt an outpouring of blessings in my life at that time. I feel like this March is turning out to be another memorable month to go down in history with again many blessings.
The beginning of this month marked one year that Corey has been home from Japan. And a little over a week ago marked 18 months since I've been home from Oklahoma. Missions are so awesome and amazing, and I feel so blessed that my brother and I were both able to serve full-time missions.
March is full of many birthdays of so many of my loved ones! My dad, my mom, Shelly, Kelly, Owen, Dallen, Erin, and Astrid.
A little over a week ago, I started dating someone. His name is Jamison, and he's amazing! We met in our ward at the beginning of the semester. For the record, I asked him on our first date, which normally I wouldn't do. But this semester I've stepped out of my comfort zone and asked a couple of guys on dates. Jamison is from Las Vegas, though he was born in Long Beach, California. He is a biology major and will graduate this July. He reminds me a lot of Randal Densley, which says a lot. Anyway, I like him a lot! And it's been so fun getting to know each other better and spend time together every day.
Two small job opportunities kinda just fell into my lap recently. One is super short and will only last over spring break. I'll be working in my apartment complex with others, cleaning the apartments, getting them ready for next semester. Two starts basically today, and it will last as long as I live here, in Carriage House. I will be a student assistant to the manager. It doesn't involve a lot of time, and the responsibilities are minimal. Even though they are both super part time, I'm grateful to finally have some kind of work.
It is kinda crazy to think that this semester will be over in three weeks! I feel like time has flown by. I've enjoyed this semester so much! I have loved my roommates and my ward! I have enjoyed having the opportunity to serve as a Relief Society president in my ward and as an ordinance worker in the temple. I feel that my perspective has changed SO much because of just those two things, and I am so grateful for all that I've learned and come to realize while working in those capacities. I'm excited to enjoy these last couple of weeks, and I look forward to next semester- new roommates, going back to school, meeting new people, and everything else that is to come!
