It has already been 20 days since I have last posted. SO here I go with 20 more things I have been very grateful for and feel like have been tender mercies in my life.
123. I made the flight to New York and have a good time.
124. I had a good meeting about my thesis paper that I have been so overwhelmed on. She helped calm my troubled mind about it all.
125. General Conference. Enough said (LOVE ELDER EYRING!!)
126. I had the energy to spend a lot of time on my talk for Easter Sunday
127. I felt very calm and think I did a fine job on my talk
128. Gary's tender heart and being so understanding of my downfalls
128. I have basically finished a class already! Less to worry about.
129. The Brunsons came down to visit and we had a great time. They make me feel so good. I wish I felt like this with my own family. I can't even explain the difference. I want to figure out what it is about them that makes me feel so good and then see if I can somehow implement it more in my family. Its so nice-and would be a GOOD change for how I feel typically around my family currently.
130. Gary has had a new found sense of motivation to workout and plans to join the air guard. This makes me very excited as I have been worrying about what we will do with insurance for when I get prego. I don't know if we would be able to get medicade and without it we would financially be in big trouble.
131. Although we are a little more financially strapped Gary still finds the value in spending on my sake. (this is a hard concept to explain. I have a very difficult time spending money on me. I just don't feel most things are worth it. Whenever I ask if I can buy... without finishing the sentence he says yes. OR do you care if I go to new york with jerilyn this week. Sure go ahead! He makes me feel like no money in the world matters but my happiness does. -not that he accounts me spending money means happiness... Like I said it's a hard concept to explain. I just LOve this kid!))
132. God has been very aware of our prayers. It has amazed me actually. Same with Gary. We say little prayers and BAM answered, blessed, and us in awe. God is very aware of us.
133. I am so glad my mission president taught us about the power of covenants with God. I did one last month and am also doing one this month. It brings a new found testimony and excitement as I fully believe God will keep his part if I do mine. This month I committed to go to all of church all month if he will help Gary and I be motivated to eat healthier and work out.
134. We have been able to have visitors. Our absence of going up to slc hasn't seemed so bad because we have had so many visitors.
135. Lately I have been working alone. I am LLOVVING THISS. I don't mind working with people but I especially love working alone. (mostly I would rather not work with one person, but i do like best alone. I don't feel like judgement is being passed if I am alone.)
136. I am so happy this is my LAST semester and I only have 2 full weeks of classes and then finals week and then I am absolutely DONE! WAHOO!
137. I continue to feel closer and closer to Gary. I love him more than I can ever explain. I can't imagine being even more in love with him, if there is such a thing. I am sure there is and I am excited to grow deeper and deeper in love. I know the meaning will change too throughout time. How did I get such a guy for ETERNITY! I'm sure God had something to do with it!
138. Gary has learned how to woo me. I feel special, loved, and though at times could be cheesy it gets me everytime. It makes me feel good no matter how cheesy it is.
139. I am so glad I had a really good teacher to help me with my thesis. Even though its been very difficult, stressing, hardest paper I have ever written she has helped me step by step through every process to make the paper a better one.
140. Michelle is becoming a better friend. I have been wanting to be closer to her for some time. I have looked up to her and thought she was just such a nice girl. -Gary thinks very highly of her too and I have been wanting to be friends with her and rick. I just didn't know how. Finally it started and now its growing. I love friends and I love close friends. I feel this is going to be one of those! SHe is great. Everyone else should be jealous.
141. I got a calling. Most people might not like this one. I just have been such a disconnect with our ward, with church that I feel like this calling will help me jump right in and integrate me the way I usually like to me. I am the compassionate service and welfare committee personage. I am not quite sure what it all en-tells but I am excited to put forth a lot of effort.
THere you have it. Back up to date.
