WOW I can't believe that it is July 2nd. Life is just flying by and soon enough it will be the end of summer and I will be...what the heck? Where has the time gone? Well I a have learned so much in life right now and I want to write down many things and give things in my life credit and justice. I love it!!
I just recently got back from visiting my family for five days between the spring and summer terms here at BYU. I absolutely loved it!! We went up to Breckenridge where our time share is and had such a blast. I just called and see how I love them so much. My family is just amazing. All my siblings are home except me and I am very sad. I want life to continue on, but at the same time, I don't. They love me so much and support my decision of staying in school and dancing, but not going to lie...it has been really hard to be away from home. In about two weeks my brother, Nahtan, will be leaving on his mission to Brazil. I can't believe that is happening!! Time has flown by so fast. He just told me, "Laura I miss you so much, you need to come home!!" Tears are swelling up in my eyes, I am going to be very sad when Nathan leaves, but I know that is what he needs to be doing in life. He is so ready to go, and that will be hard, but I know he will become such a better person because of it!! I totally support him :) I am so excited to see what experiences he will have on his mission and all of his stories!!
On top of that my best friend and the wonderful person I am dating leaves on Aug. 4th for his mission. This will be hard as well, but I know this is what he needs to be doing in life as well. So I can't wait to see how he progresses and learns so much on his mission. I know it will be hard, but he will grow so much and I hope I do too!! But I am so glad that i have been able to be with him, I have learned so much from him and want to continue on doing so. Besides the stories of my two men in life leaving, I have been having a fun time getting to know people and becoming closer friends to those I know. I hope everyone may know how grateful I am to have everyone in my life. I know I am a better person because of that and I thank you. I am really grateful for Caitlin and her willingness to be my roommate and my best friend. I am learning so much from her and love her example.
As life goes on and I look back, I realize that school, relationships, and life is just hard. But I love the saying, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!!" That puts a smile on my face every time. But that is so so true! Things many times don't work out they way you want it to be. But working with what you got, can be even better. I know that things can't be done without the Lord's help and your trust in Him. I am slowly starting to understand my relationship with Him and am loving the great friendship. life isn't easy, and it isn't suppose to be. That is how we grow. Treasure that and wait and see how you become an amazing person. That is one thing I have learned. But I wouldn't change anything because life is so great! I just wanted to write this and say how much I love my family, keenan, friends and all my experiences. Thanks for making me the person I am now. I am ready to continue on taking on the world and enjoying every moment and every single day!!
