A lonely day.

Tuesday, February 21

Today was one of the most difficult days I can remember.

Like difficult to the point where I couldn't handle the present.

Or thinking about the future.

But I was able to go to sleep feeling peace.

Our Heavenly Father is so merciful and kind.

Green.

Pretty purple & a new locket.

Saturday, February 18

Spent all afternoon shopping with Angie.

I admired this rack of excessively priced rainbow dresses.

I don't know how you would ever choose just one,

when they look so perfect lined up together.

Friday, February 17

Out to dinner at

Pizza by Elizabeths.

Food was amazing.

I think our tops make a nice color palette.

Don't you?

Cool shadow on the dashboard after institute.

First time in five days.

I consider this a big victory.

Got a valentine from the sweet, sweet missionary.

Total surprise.

Sinus infection & ear infection.

Medicine, work your magic.

A valentine treat from my momma.

I seem to enjoy reading Ether more and more each time.

I was especially struck by Ether 2:6-7 this time around.

6: As the Jaredites traveled across the water, they were directed continually by the hand of the Lord. We too can have that blessing, even when we are asked to do difficult, seemingly impossible things, like cross many waters. We are never alone.

7: The Lord didn't allow them to stop in the place where they first landed, because he wanted more for them, probably more than they wanted for themselves. He had preserved a choice land for them. We may be like that at times, content to settle for less than the Lord wants to give. Though we may not see the end, we can trust that the Lord does, that He loves us and wants so badly to bless us, that He is leading us all the time to something supremely beautiful.

Came out of class & found it snowing,

the good kind, where it doesn't stick to the roads.

Tuesday, February 7

Full moon from my front porch.

Monday, February 6

I knew it was going to be a hard day.

So I wore my new fancy bandana to give me strength.

Sunday, February 5

My new dress!

Well, part of it.

It's difficult to get a full shot.

It's the dress of many colors.

Saturday, February 4

Wonderful awesome trip to the DC temple.

It was a great experience.

I love the temple.

Friday, February 3

Happy Birthday Roommate!

We love her so much that we decorated her bedroom door.

So she couldn't get in.

Thursday, February 2

Someday I'll make myself clean this room.

But it just won't be today.

Or tomorrow either.

Wednesday, February 1

It's February.

And the girl's still behind the camera.
