Simply Blessed

So... I'm sitting here at my computer not exactly sure where this post is going to lead me. We'll see how it ends up and what I wind up titling it. Tonight my heart is full, and I don't know how to describe the feelings I'm having. I feel so blessed. You know those days where you're just kinda going along and all of a sudden you realize how amazing your life is. Let me tell ya, I don't have those very often cause there is usually something going wrong and most of the time I let one little speed bump throw me for a huge loop but; this week is different. 

First things first, my sweet boyfriend Waylon recently started taking the missionary discussions. It's funny because a lot of my friends and family don't realize that he isn't a member of the church yet because he's such a great guy. I'm so very proud of him for his choice. I know that the gospel will bless his life as much as it has blessed mine. We've been having the missionaries over at my parent's house and I feel so blessed to be a part of this very special experience. The missionaries keep asking me to share my testimony during the lessons but it's so hard for me because, well, I'm basically an emotional wreck! I guess you could say that the spirit reaches me through my tear-ducts! But, honestly I am so grateful for this experience in my life, and I know it will help me avoid taking the gospel for granted in my life. 

As I've mentioned I'm currently driving back and forth between Logan and Salt Lake working two jobs. It gets tiring sometimes but I am grateful to be working so that I can save money for school in the fall (coming way to quickly :/) This past week when I got down to Salt Lake my new roommate Aleisha was already here. I'd been feeling a bit guilty about her because I helped her move in 2 weeks ago and then headed to Logan and hadn't seen her since. Luckily she forgave me, as far as I can tell, and is still such a sweetheart. I'm so grateful that everything worked out for us to live together and I am so lucking forward to a great new experience.  

After work on Wednesday my sweet friend Lindsey came over to chill. I sure do love her. I feel so lucky to have met her and had the opportunity to make her a part of my life. As strange as it may sound I feel like I was supposed to meet my wonderful quirky new best friend. She brings so much of what I need into my life and I'm seriously so thankful that we fell into each other's lives. We're very quickly becoming experts on how to deal with each other's special issues! Because if we're being honest; our issues have their own issues! And I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Tonight when I got done with work I came and picked up Aleisha and we hurried over to Per's softball game in West Valley. We only caught the last little bit (I did get to see Per's homerun, she's hit one in each of the 3 past tournaments, woman stud) of the game but it was a good time. I don't know if it's normal for a 19 year old to enjoy hanging out with my parents as I do. My mom is one of my best friends and even though Papa Sam and I give each other a hard time, all the time, we really do love each other. 

All in All, as I'm laying here in bed, I feel so extremely blessed, and looked over. I know the rest of this year isn't going to be easy, It's not supposed to be. But nights like this do help me realize that I am going to make it through whatever life has to throw at me.
