FANTASTIC FEBRUARY to Marvelous March

WOW! I can't believe how fast February went by. Every day was a new lesson and a new journey and so much good to come from each detail. I went to San Deigo for a day and that was an adventure in and of itself. I got connected with one of the best families EVER more so than I could have imagined. The next weekend I went up to Rexburg, Idaho and was blessed with the most amazing healing I've ever experienced. Sometimes we don't realize how much the Lord is shaping and scaffolding us to become sturdy and refining us to be more than just magnificent, but remarkable and a Servant of God. I never knew exactly how much I would be shaped until that journey. One day before going up to Rexburg I started a 60 day Transformation challenge. I started this on Valentine's Day! YEAH! I KNOW! I'm CRAZY!
      So, the day after I went to work and then went to my friend's house who I was going to Rexburg with. We ended up driving her new used car and headed on our way to Idaho when we started hearing a funny noise around Tremonton. We got to Portage and decided it sounded like a flat tire and we should pull over. It wasn't a flat tire though cause we checked! We looked under the hood and so much else. WE FOUND NOTHING WRONG! We got back in the car turned it on, and put it in drive and it wouldn't go... Yeah, let's just say we weren't happy. We began to try to figure out what we would do. My friend called her parents and I tried to call my dad and sister (they were in the temple VERY NOBLE). I called another good friend and asked him if he would go into my house and grab my spare key and take it to our friend's dad. He did and I am thankful to him for that. My friend's dad then drove my truck to us and well, in the mean time we had a cop stop and tell us it was the transmission and to be safe, but as we said a prayer of gratitude and what to do next another car pulled in front of us. Out of the car came 3 guys and they said there were 2 more girls in the car. They were coming from Provo and headed to Rexburg area. God answers prayers. Little known fact is I had to go to the bathroom way bad at this moment! So them coming was a blessing. Well, sitting in the back seat talking to these new angels in life I decided to ask if they knew someone I knew from BYU and one of the girls popped off and got all excited cause she knew her! MADE MY NIGHT! We laughed and joked around and I don't even remember everything we discussed. Went to the rest stop just the other side of the Idaho border. There was laughter everywhere as we ran around and acted like children! :D On our journey back to the car where 2 of the guys stayed we passed the Portage exit and kept going since we were like right there all weird. Well, the driver decided he would take an emergency turn around... We got stuck! Yeah, we had to get out and push the car and it started going backwards fairly fast, and they had to run to catch it with tons of cars flying passed. Yeah, then three of us were about to cross the road and we nearly got hit by a semi! Talk about heart attacks. Well, we hopped in the car and got back to the other car only shortly to see my truck coming up behind us. That night we stayed with some married friends of mine and then throughout the weekend there was a billion circumstances of love shown to me!
   Now, it's March and well, I didn't realize that it started off perfectly with a text from a friend asking if we'd split the price for Improv to which another friend would be performing in that night. I didn't realize until today that March started off that way! WHAT AN AWESOME WAY TO START! And the fact that it will end with Easter just makes me smile even more. Who knew that text messages from unexpected friends and being able to wander around Wal-Mart and walk from across the street could be so much fun at 1:30 in the morning. And deciding that you want so badly to buy a CHEESECAKE SAMPLER and some EXTREME BACON PIZZA. Which just means now we have to actually go back and do it for reals! I am so grateful and just beyond happy that I have the friends that I do. In just a short time period I have grown so much! I am in love with my life and I have learned to love myself more than I ever thought possible. I have been able to spend time with many that I love, and I have learned to love even more. I am grateful to that family I've grown to love, and the healing they have helped me with and the two friends that just allow me to be joyful with them when we are all just beyond tired! Then to go to an event where there is so much love and devotion that I feel from others. Then, to attend the house of the Lord and feel a magnificent love and joy beyond belief! And then to have THE BEST testimony meeting so far! :) I know this month will be full of even more growth and learning and I'm ecstatic about it! Especially since the end of it will be Easter! I'm excited to spend time with my sister for her birthday and to see friends get married! And to continue to go to the temple weekly! :)

I love you all!
