March was madness

"It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!" -Mark Twain

Alright I'm slacking on the updating. Can I just ask, first off, where the heck March went?! It was such a blur. It was a rough month I'll give ya that. I wasn't accepted into the major I was so excited for, I missed the lesson I was suppose to teach for one Sunday, an accounting test kicked my butt AGAIN even though I studied for days (literally. like four days)...

But why dwell on the bad! Its funny because all of these things were piling up and got me down for a moment, but the next I was blessed with something that lifted my spirits. Sure I'm not doing dietetics anymore, but now I feel excited to start majoring in athletic training; I can combine my love for athletics and health all in one. Ya, I missed preparing for a lesson one Sunday, but the next one I had gave me so much more knowledge on obedience and it ended up being one of my best lessons yet. And accounting sucks and I'm terrible at it...but I met someone amazing through the studying process who has made me beyond happy each day we've been together since.

To top it off, this past Conference was my favorite out of the three I've seen so far. I was reading the March Ensign and learned I should actually spiritually prepare myself for it (sorry, still new to this). So that week before I read, watched, listened to everything gospel related thing I could and can I just say, it was amazing. The very first talk by Boyd K. Packer brought me to tears, like on the verge of bawling. And the rest of the talks each gave me a piece of advice I really needed. Even though a majority of the talks were on families and children, I felt I really need all the advice I can get because I wasn't raised in the Church and feel a little freaked out when I think about raising children to be strong in the gospel (thats not happening any time soon fyi, but still).

Now school is winding down much too fast and I can't even bring myself to think about ALLLL the studying...but April is also going to bring hiking in Zion and visiting the St. George temple (happening this weekend!), getting to visit my family in Colorado, getting a break from school until AUGUST and spending every second I can with a certain someone until they leave for Hawaii (boo).

Life is good when you trust the Lord will help you through it all.
