First and foremost my best friend Michael proposed. He had the perfect proposal and I said "of course" and so... we are getting married April 23rd in my favorite temple, The Jordan River Temple. I don't think I can say I ever been so excited for anything in my life. I love this boy, oh how I love this boy. He is quite the example to me and always has some little surprise up his sleeve. He constantly is taking care of me and telling me how much he loves me. Yeah, it makes me smile. I'm sure there will be more to come about him in the future.... just sayin'.
A lot has been happening, from a trip to California, to celebrating my 21st birthday, to my first pedicure (thanks Katie!), and my first trip to Hard Rock Cafe, to planning planning and then some more planning. All in all a lot of great wonderful things.
I have had a lot of ups and downs the past month. Looking for a job in Rexburg is next to impossible and no where seems to be hiring due to "the cold weather". Sure, that sounds like a good excuse to some, but to me that's merely an excuse to tell people to only make them feel worse about not finding a job there. Anywho - I can't complain everything has been working one thing right after another and I can see how the Lord has constantly been blessing my life. I have had a lot of me time, which I have loved. It's been hard, but I think I have found a balance through a lot of going to the big guy upstairs and discovering what it is I am doing.
Through all of the going on's of the past month, the principle of faith has been slapping me in the face nice and hard. I constantly remind my self that it's all going to work out, and it is. The more I think about it, the more sense the faith makes. I feel like we as humans act in faith a lot, but when we consciously act in faith it comes to mean more, and we understand it better. I have seen how faith really is a principle of action. When the desire to have that faith is there, we believe we can do anything, and then with our Father in Heaven's help we most definitely can. I have been reminded that at times it's ok to use past assurances to help you get through the hard times, but always act on those assurances. Always remember those assurances you had.
Ok so this sounds like I had this horrible month, but the truth is I wouldn't trade this past month for anything. I have been greatly blessed and continue to recognize daily how blessed I really am. I couldn't ask for anything more. The Lord is definitely aware of me and continues to look out for me daily.
Oh and here is my favorite boy in the world!
