It's interesting to look back on the last couple of weeks and realize that I'm doing okay. Life is pretty good and I have school, work, and an internship that keep me very busy! I look back on everything and to be honest I enjoy being busy and feeling productive. It feels good to know that I am making a difference in my own life and in so many other people's lives. I am blessed to have the ability to go to school and to work part time to control my expenses. All in all, my life is content and I have so much to be thankful for!

Birthday

Today has been really special and I am now one year older. I went to see Alice in Wonderland and had lots of cake and just lounged around enjoying the day. My life is so full and I can honestly say that things are great and I am extremely blessed. Thanks to all the wonderful people who have made my birthday grand!!

These last few weeks have been a huge change and this emotional experience has made me grow more than I have ever thought possible. My reliance on the Lord has been so great and I realized that I truly can't do anything without the help of my father. Life will always be filled with surprises and trials that I never see coming, but when I am able to put my trust in the Lord's hands, I can overcome anything! This is truly what the gospel is all about and knowing this gives me great faith and hope.
