I'm finally breathing a little lighter. And I am really finding a lot of things to be grateful for EACH day. Its amazing how much I can see the Lord's hand in my life these past two weeks. I'm closer to him then I ever thought possible (and I can only imagine that with every trial that I am to pass through in this life-that closeness will become more and more apparent)

I am sad that I missed watching most of General Conference. But I am glad that we were able to record it. Hopefully after tomorrow's make up exam I will be able to sit down and watch some of it.

Sarah and I are closer then ever. I'm honestly so grateful for her. We've had our arguments in the past (and I am sure we will have some more in the future considering we are both passionate people) but I don't think I could have done this without her. She's really something amazing and I always knew that on some level-but now I appreciate it more I guess.

School is almost over-I have next week to study for final exams, then 4 days of finals. Two weeks from tomorrow I have decided that I am going to reward myself with a pedicure and a manicure. Then that following Monday I start my two weeks of rotations. Once that is done I am taking two days off to deep clean my house and my life!

Sometime this summer I am going to go to the temple (if I am ready of course). And of course I'll try to go home and see my family for a little bit, but who knows-maybe I'll just stay here and spend some time with friends and myself. (That sounds like a great plan to me!!)

All I know is this-I am blessed. And my heart is overflowing with gratitude right now for the tender mercies of the Lord.
