…

No matter how hard I try, I just can't shake the mister from my mind.. Today I was told I needed to give up on him. It's hard to give up on someone who means so much to you. It's been 49 days and I still miss him. Maybe God placed him in my life not because he needed me, but because I needed him. Thanks Mister D for showing me a good time, but maybe someday you should come back..

Day 24.

Today I am grateful for the opportunity I had to shake Elder Perry's hand in the Dallas airport! He has such a sweet spirit about him and it was so refreshing to be in his presence. I am so grateful for the prophets and apostles we have!! 

Day 23.

Today I am grateful for Fern :) I am so grateful I got to spend the time with her that I did this weekend! I miss my crafting buddy, but am grateful I can still see her! I am also grateful for her sweet baby… She sure loves her favorite aunt Kali :) I always love visiting each and every one of you and wish you all lived closer! I really have the best family in the whole world.

Day 22.

Today, I am grateful for mom's flight benefits!!! And that I can come see any of you whenever I would like. WOOT!

Day 21.

Recently, I read three of Elder Uchtdorf's books and they were wonderful. I am grateful we have apostles that write uplifting things like this for me to read! It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear! I'm going to share a few quotes that were awesome that stood out to me…

"It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life's story will develop."

"He loves you even though at times you may feel lonely or make mistakes."

and my favorite…

"Lift up your chin; walk tall. God loves you."

Day 20.

Today, I am grateful for memories… Almost one year ago, exactly I met this boy that I dated for quite some time. Haha- My how things have changed, and I am grateful they did! I am grateful for the wonderful memories that I have with all these lovely ladies. Last year truly was the best year ever.
