i told people all the time...

Think about the person you love the most. If you're a parent, think about you child. Can you explain to me how you feel about your child in words?

One of the biggest reasons God gave us a family was to help us understand how He feels about us. He couldn't tell someone and have them write it as scripture in a way that would mean as much to us as letting us experience it ourselves.

Every father or mother I have asked says they can't describe in adequate words the way they feel about their children. Neither can our Heavenly Father. The way He loves us is like the way we love our children. Except it's perfect.

three twelve am

what in the world am I still doing up?

great question.
                           
                Today I had a lot of thoughts. I went to the temple, which is where I feel an astounding amount of
                 clarity.

And, whaddya know? Clarity. Perspective. The whole kit-and-caboodle.

but that's not why I'm still up.
I watched.... a chick flick tonight.
                                          "The Vow"
                   So I thought a little about fella. And wanted him for a little while. But honestly, I'm okay to be patient. I know what I want... that was the other part of me staying up til 3 17 now (that and pinterest)
 to introduce this point, mr. ralph waldo emerson...

let me confess: since I've been home, I've been a little off. I've felt totally off balance.
      but after tonight and some seriously journaling (even though I don't love my journal. can't wait to get a new one. any suggestions as to where?) I recognized a few key things. That are going to make me happier in the coming days.

Alright. Seriously I am wasting time. I hate that. But its the weekend. I can do what I want, right?

well im back

so... hi.
I'm back. And my darling little brother is gone. :[ but I'm so excited for him. I'm going to get back to regular blogging, but give me a second. I've got a whole ton of logs on the fire, like... seriously 2000 mental lbs of logs...
I'll keep yall updated.

There is an ice storm going on today. And I fell down.
                                                                In the middle of the road...
                                                                                                                ....twice.
Loserly.
