Life isn't made up of the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.

Live life so that at the end of it, you have no regrets. Instead, you have stories full of love and laughter so you can hold your head up high, no matter what.

Today was kind of weird. I can't believe all the emotions that are rolling through me right now. I have confusion because I don't know when I should call someone or even if I should try. I have anxiety because I don't know if a certain someone feels the same way as I feel about them. I have giddiness because it may be something that works out, but if it doesn't I have opened up which hasn't happened for a LONG time. I also have sadness, because I live so far away from my family and want to be with them more than anything. The future is unclear, and that scares me more than people can know. I like to be in control. I like to know what is going to happen.
I like to say "This is how my future will turn out" and see it happen. But the more I go, the more I realize that I have ABSOLUTELY no control over what is going to happen, or when.

I want more than anything to be able to move on with my life, and feel like I have a purpose besides just helping people to get rid of pain. I want to be able to hold my child in my arms, and I want to be able to see them grow. I want to be able to have someone who is there with me, who will hold me when I am sad and comfort me. I need someone who is able to make me laugh when I am mad, make me calm down when I am uptight, and who can keep me sane. I have a tendancy to be high strung, and kind of excitable. I won't lie, I like my life to be a little nuts because then I can't concentrate on how lonely I feel.

Lonliness has to be the worst thing in the world. It can poison you and make you feel like nothing. It's horrible.

I won't let it poison me, I ignore it. Or just avoid it. I try to surround myself with people so I don't have time to feel lonely. But sometimes you find, that is when you are the MOST lonely.

I look forward to the time where I can have all my dreams come true, but until then I will focus on now. I won't look at my future, for it's such a fluid concept and changes with every decision that is made that it's not stable until it happens.

I look forward to now, to what I know is definite. My family loves me and wants what's best for me. I love them with all my heart.

I KNOW the gospel is true. I have a STRONG testimony of this. I will not fail, I will not stop. And I will not let my Savior down.

Take a deep breath...

Let go of the control...

Jump in head first and know that someone will be there to catch you...

Yes it's scary but darn it, you'd hate yourself if you didn't try!

*This applies to both of the delimas going on right now by the way...*

We can't wait to have you move in with us in August, we've decided for you! (bwa-ha-ha). Love you!
