Happiness.

Love is my happiness. I'm elated to say that I have received another letter from my love. I actually was able to write him back and that made my heart so, so, so happy!!! He's coming home for Christmas and I cannot begin to tell you how happy that made me to hear. Distance does make the heart grow fonder. :)

Persistence

You know that you've been working out enough when your body wakes you up and wants to go to the gym. I've been doing so great at going every day this week! Next week though, I have a set time to get up and go. Which is a good thing, so long as my body lets me. I also lost three pounds this week, since I've been working out. I'm beyond stoked about it. Well, off to the bigger picture! - Eating a nasty diet, un-full of sweets and regular carbs and full of mixed berries, yogurt, cottage cheese, spinach and complex carbs .. oh and don't forget the protein! Hopefully my body can hurry and adjust to the food as it has to the exercise.

Figuring Out Your Purpose

"SMILE" - What a simple word! I was stopped at a light while driving on Tuesday to class when a couple of people on the side of the road were asking for money. On the other side of the sign it said, "SMILE!" I smiled then I grabbed the change out of my change holder in my car when they said, "Your smile was all we needed, we like to smile too you know!" I thought what a great thing to want and deserve in life. 

Today was an amazing day. I miss the boy a ton this evening. I think the biggest reason is because I want to talk to him about what a great day I had. I seriously smiled and laughed so much today. Sometimes, for no reason at all. I LOVED it! Also, someone put so much trust in me and told be a lot about their current life circumstances. I had such an amazing feeling, the feeling I get when I feel the spirit. I knew what I was doing at that very moment was why I was still on this planet. I'm beyond blessed for that opportunity and am beyond excited to continue on my journey. 

Letters

I've written a letter for my boyfriend for every day that he's been gone. ahaha  - it's a little pathetic. I'm going to continue doing that, but in a journal. Though, I'm only going to write him a letter & send one a week to cap up and summarize my life. I know he would love it, but I know he would also think I had no life. Well, who's kidding who here? I don't.

I got my first letter from him. I'm so beyond excited. When I went to my mailbox I had a ton of junk mail - see one of my first posts about how much I despise that kind! - BUT tucked in it all was a letter from him! Oh man, I love him oh so much. I could re-read that letter and never once get tired of it. :)

Football, Love & Abraham

Abraham and I spent dang near 24 hours together and I feel like they were the most amazing hours, minutes, seconds and special moments of my life. I love that man more than I love anything. Though, I will never forget my first true love, football. He went to the Utes game with me and what's super important to me is that he loves it as much as me. Which, he does! He was cheering and whistling louder than most people I take do. It made my heart super happy!

At the game a guy brought a sign that said, "My wife thinks I'm at conference" and "Text me when it's the Second Coming 1-800-GO-UTES!" --> Everyone was laughing so hard.

As I always say the third quarter is my favorite and it makes me feel the spirit, weird, I know! I appreciate it more than ever.

We discussed how trust is stronger than love - which is huge!
We discussed how I'm only 20 and yet I'm in love and how awesome it feels.
We discussed how he claims I'm not a needy girlfriend - wow! I though, I was.
I haven't cried yet, I'm just waiting for it to hit me.


Being in love is the most beautiful thing I've ever felt!
