Here's to the nights we felt alive, here's to the tears you knew you'd cry, here's to goodbye tomorrow's gonna come too soon...

That's right y'all, a heart in my latte. Rumor has it this is common, but in my mind I'm special and this was God telling me first, that coffee is good for the soul and two, that He loves me! Today was a GREAT day! I had so much time to be quiet... it was wonderful.

For starters, I was up super early and got to my first class super early. I had time to sit outside in the BEAUTIFUL weather and just think about life.

Phew! I just caught a beetle in my room in a cup and let it go outside. Good deed for the day :)

But class was a good nap.. woops.. and after I got to go see my baby girl Bella and she was so wonderful :) my little bundle of joy!

I then ran errands, finished homework, ate the rockin' Theta dinner (yes, we had banana splits for dessert) and headed off to Muldoons to study. Not only did I do that, but I got to see my beautiful former roommates Taylor Saxon and Beth Harrington. These two girls are so amazing!! They have always boosted me up and loved me with absolutely no judgment. Beth is so funny and caring about everyone around her. She genuinely loves and supports her friends :) Taylor is so dang sweet and intentional. She is sincere and honest in the love she gives. I couldn't ask for two more awesome girls to have coffee and apparently bad cake balls with. I am so grateful for their love and support even when I have to tell them the hard stuff!!!

I came home after studying and I got started on finally beginning my pen-pal system with my grandparents. I received my grandfather's recorded testimony in the mail the other day, so I made time to listen to it. It was incredible. I've always put this huge divide between my faith and my grandparents (and that generation's) faith. Listening to his testimony, we had the same level of faith. It's dumb how I think just because I'm more open about my faith that means I'm further along. Not at all. My grandparents are incredible people- only through Christ could they be the people they are, the people that made me who I am. I immediately started writing my letter to them filled with love and overflowing gratitude. My grandfather has alzheimers. Despite this, he pursues God and loves unconditionally. My grandmother is having to take on roles she never knew before, despite this she is stronger than ever. Again I say only through Christ could this happen. This all welled up in me and overflowed onto the letter I wrote. Never have I allowed myself to look deeply and appreciate them for who they are. I am so glad I finally did!

Tomorrow is an awesome day filled with dates with awesome people :) Praise be to Him that I have that ability!!!

Thanks anyone?

Lord thank you for Beth and Taylor. Thank you for reminding me of how incredible they really are, and how they radiate Your love and comfort no matter what the situation. Thank you for continuing to work in them and remind them of how beautiful they are and how Your opinion is the only one that truly matters, even though the world sees and aknowledges their inward and outward beauty it's only You that can make them believe it.
Lord thank you for my awesome family. We are all so strong because of how we have been broken and Lord I thank You that You gave us that strength. Thank you for my Gaddy and how strong he is despite his current battle. Thank you for my Ganna and her unconditional love towards Gaddy and everyone else. Continue to provide the strength they need to make it through each day living in Your name and doing Your will.
 Amen.

To all of my readers, todas necesitas el amor de dios!!
