Falling into Place

Sometimes things have a way of falling into place. The past few weeks I've been stressing a lot about money. My tuition is due on the the first of March, and I hadn't received a grant. I started the process for a loan, but it was taking a long time and I was getting worried that I wouldn't get it in time. Last Friday I was checking my financial center on BYU's website. I was shocked to find a pell grant. It was enough to pay for my tuition and give me a little extra to get some stuff I've been needing. I was amazed that things suddenly worked out. That among other things (ie: scheduling conficts, impending deadlines that I wasn't prepared for, matters among friends) just suddenly worked out. Everything fell into place. I'm contunuily amazed by the love of my Heavenly Father and his awarness of my life. I went to the Draper Temple open house and it was amazing. The spirit was so strong and I knew that my Heavenly Father was watching out for me. I know that He's happy with the way I'm leading my life, and He's helping the little things work out.

The weekend and getting sick

The weekend at my Grandma's was amazing! Ben and I got to talk a lot about things that we really needed to talk about. We got to know each other in a different way. It was a lot of fun to spend time with him and my brothers. For Valentine's he got me a big teddy bear and a rose. :) I woke up that morning and found them in my room. For our date, we got dressed up and went to Olive Garden for dinner. He looked so great, and I loved the dress that I finally picked (after several maybes and one that I actually bought and returned)! I don't have the pictures yet, but as soon as my Grandma sends them, I'll post them.
Yesterday I started feeling like I was getting sick. I hurt all over and I was extremely tired. I had to miss dance lab, which I was really looking forward to. I went home and Ben sat with me and watched a movie (it's nice to have a boy take care of you when you're sick) and at 10 I took Nyquil. By 10:15, I couldn't feel a thing. :) I slept like a baby for 10 hours! It was amazing. Brie, my room mate, says that I was entertaining... I wonder what she did... Today I feel a little better. I felt rested when I first woke up, but as the day is going on I can feel my body getting really tired. Also, my throat began to hurt this morning and my stomach is a bit upset. Hopefully this won't get too much worse... I've got midterms coming up and I can't miss school or work...

Having a Valentine and showing off my beautiful friends.




I'm am so excited to have a Valentine. Ben and I are going to my Grandparents house for the weekend. We're dressing up for dinner and going out because he knows that I like to over-dress. :) On a side note, we went to his house a while ago to hang out and Caiti (his youngest sister) fell asleep while I was holding her. We decided to sit and watch a movie and once we did, Cami (the second to youngest child) came to me and said that she wanted to cuddle with me. So I passed the baby to Ben and held Cami. It was a cute experience.
Have I told you how beautiful my friends are? I was just thinking about it, and I am so grateful for my friends and I think they are beautiful. :) I love you all! (I know I have so many more friends than this, but it would take a lot of space to put you all. Know that I love you!)
