Reflections...

On Saturday night I was down in Spanish Fork with Spencer and Jed. Spence and I went down there to visit Jed as he was watching his brother while his parents were out of town. We all went to dinner and watched a movie--it was really fun. All during the night I was thinking about how blessed I have been with such good friends. That seems to be a common thought occupying my mind lately. When Spence and I were driving back up to Salt Lake at the end of the night the music was loud, and we were both in and out of singing with the songs. During the moments I wasn't singing or talking to Spence, I was looking out of the window and reflecting on my life in the past year and how much it has changed. A year ago today I was still unhappy about living in Salt Lake, I hadn't found my group of friends yet and I felt very alone. I feel so blessed because now I wouldn't change my situation. I LOVE where I am. I have grown so much. The friends that I have gained mean so much to me and they have taught me a lot about who I am. I have also learned a lot about my worth as a daughter of God. I have come to realize how important each and every one of us are in the eyes of our Creator. It's been incredible to me as I have looked back on my life and realized that every choice I have made has gotten me to where I am now. This seems really obvious, but it really hit home to me that my choices today affect my future. I feel like I'm rambling on and not really connecting ideas or thoughts here, but it makes sense to me. Basically I felt so much gratitude for my life, my family, my friends and the experiences I have been able to have the past year with people who mean everything to me. And that is pretty much it--
