It's about time...

     So far i've only been writing about once a month, which puts me way behind with much too much to write about when i do, and even though no one REALLY reads this, it'll be nice for me if i write more often...
     That being said, this last month has been busy, and tons of fun...I turned 22 on the 15th of february :) it was a monday and a holiday and Babe and I spent the day down in La Jolla. We got lunch at California Pizza Kitchen and then walked around the cove and talked, we're good talkers. He makes me feel like I can do anything, and when he looks at me I know he loves me, and I know that everything that has happened before has brought me to him, and for that I am grateful beyond words.
     I've been babysitting on and off (trying to pay off the $600 it's going to take to pay them for the tires I popped with a quickness so they can start giving ME money again!)...the kids are getting better, well i guess it's my understanding of the kids that is getting better, we are able to work together now and i've got their routine down to a science.
     My little Parli-Pro team messed up BIG at the Escondido Invitational, I meet with them every Monday and Wednesday, but they do VERY little outside of our meetings, hence the huge mistakes and severe inability to answer any of their oral questions. I just don't understand why they don't want to win....we ate, slept, and breathed parli-pro, we practiced on breaks and weekends, and even had sleepovers for heaven's sake! I just hope to get them in shape for section and *crossing my fingers* region and state, it would be SO fun to go back there!
     I've also been more and more involved in the ward and I love every minute of it. I'm a ward missionary, and I was first councelor on the FHE committee, but this Sunday I will be released from that and be sustained as the Secretarty in the Relief Society Presidency...I've been doing a lot better at reading and really studying my scriptures, granted, I'm still behind Bishop's schedule, I just finished Alma and should finish Helaman this weekend, and I love the peace that they bring to my life. My testimony of prayer has also grown trememdously. I've been doing less hanging out with everyone, not that I don't want to be around people, or that I don't miss my friends, but it's given me the chance and opportunity to grow closer to my father in heaven, I've found that especially when I feel like I don't want to pray, those are the times when I need to most, and when I take those times and do what I know I need to be doing, those are the moments when I literally feel like I'm being wraped up in his arms, they are the moments when the veil becomes thinner and I can feel the love My Father in Heaven has for me. I absolutely LOVE being able to be thinking about the spiritual things constantly and to have the opportunity to serve the people in my ward. I love feeling closer to the Spirit everyday and being able to stand strong in the things I believe.
