The Good Ole' Times!!!

So I have been getting in touch with a lot of people that I have not talked to for a while and it has been really great. I finally got a letter from Nadine in Thailand and I was just excited (I got a bonus too when I saw the very exciting envelope that the letter came in!). Sometimes I am not so good at keeping in touch with everyone, that is something I have really got to work on. Life has calmed down a little bit and I feel more prepared to manage it all. I am so grateful to my professor Kaelin because she just makes my day and made me feel like it was completely fine to extend one more semester. Today though I began realizing how long I have been in school. My friend Amy just got back from her mission and today she talked so I went to see her. There were a lot of people that I had not seen for a long time, and they were asking me what I was up to. I felt weird to have everyone ask me if I was done yet and then have to say no I was supposed to be done this semester but we all know how that turned out. I am really excited to see my family tonight at Jill's birthday party, I miss them so much. I have been a super family member and have not really been home much since Christmas. So I plan to make up for that by coming home for a whole weekend over the 20th to the 22nd. Yay!!!
I have to say though that I am so glad for the gospel in my life, it has been a great comfort to me and I hope that it can really be of comfort to some others that really need it. Yesterday a family friend died from cancer and it was hard to hear it. She was a wonderful lady who made an effort to make everyone feel so special (including me and my mom). I loved her and am glad that we know that she will be with her family again!
