feelings

i have a lot of feelings zooming in and out of me right now. yes, there is anticipation. yes, there is excitement. yes, there is some nervousness. yes, there is some anxiety too. it's a fun challenge to keep up with it all. one of the greatest lessons i've learned from this experience though is this - people are oh so good. i am so grateful for people who have been so kind and gracious to me. it's humbling to soak in their kindness. in the musical les miserables there is a line that states, "to love another person is to see the face of god." i've thought about that often, because there have been wonderful moments where i've felt so close to my heavenly father, because others have loved me the way he does. i'm sure His face and His countenance are seen in each of our own faces, especially when we take the time to love and serve unselfishly.

it's a neat gift.

i might cry some the day i get married. just saying. tears might have arrived during the bridal shower, so i am just prepping myself.

3 days and counting. bring it on.

We are on week five of our school year, and it seems like every time I get slightly comfortable something occurs that makes me very uncomfortable. I won't divulge too many details, but needless to say I came away feeling violated, disgusting, and not very trusting. Luckily for me, the scriptures had just the right answers when I needed them most. I am reading about Mormon in the actual book of Mormon. He is dealing with the Nephites who are described as being so disobedient that Mormon doesn't give a full account "that ye might not have too much sorrow because of the wickedness of this people." (Mormon 5: 9) Sound like a world we live in? Mormon previously states a perfect description of my feelings of this "wicked" state when he shares his...

only in the big A town...

cowboy and i are trying to figure out where we are going to live when we get hitched. it's a tricky thing. not only am i marrying a cowboy, i am also marrying a man who owns a few horses, a large and shiny horse trailer, a monster truck, a car, a couple of snow machines, a snow machine trailer, and some other large items. needless to say, rexburg and its tricky parking are not working out in our favor. we need parking, some sort of barn, and some dirt to play around in. so, nick's mom mentioned that there was a neat place for sale in the big A town of arco, idaho. we saw pictures online and decided we wanted to go out and see it. we also needed someone to take engagement pictures, because the other arrangements fell through. come to find out nick has a friend named boone who does it all - he took our pictures and was the realtor too. we snapped some shots, looked at some property, posed for some other takes, and discussed placing an offer. folks, this is what i call being effic...
