I've been at home this weekend to celebrate my birthday and Easter. It is weird to think I've been on this earth for 19 years now. It seems like it has not been that long at all. I changed my background of the blog for a few reasons. One because I just love that picture! Photo credit goes to Katie Fife. I love it. Partly because it was taken in Richmond. Another reason I changed it is because I was looking for a certain type of look. I was looking for one that gave a certain feeling or reminded me of this feeling I get sometimes. And I think I have found it. It always makes me feel solemn and helps me remember things. Which works for the blog since this is my "diary". Its helping me remember certain things.
Jacob was able to come home this weekend. It has been four months since I've seen him. It has been great seeing him. It doesn't feel like it has been that long at all but then time seems to trick us.
Courtney and I got to go to the second session of General Conference on Saturday. Definitely one of the most uplifting, spiritual experiences I've ever had. It was great to see those wonderful men in person and be able to feel the power of the Spirit when they walked in and talked. It will be one of those experiences I will never forget.
Time goes on... It never stops. It brings so many new experience. Hopefully they will be ones that I will always cherish. But I know that some times it is going to be hard, but I'll be able to take something from those experiences. I want my time here on earth to be something special. I want to learn all I can, I want to have fun with friends and family, I want to fall in love with someone that I can be with for all eternity. I love knowing that I will be able to take everything I've learned with me to the next life. It is very reassuring.
