Wow.

My inspiration to blog tonight comes from one of my best friends.  I am in tears right now after reading Lauren's most recent blog.  As hard as it is for me sometimes to admit how I feel about The Church, I can honestly say that I undoubtedly felt The Spirit so incredibly strongly through her thoughts. She reminded me of the amazing experience that she and I both had as nonmembers on the CHT and how we were introduced to some amazing truth in the Sacred Grove.  The trouble is that I could never even to begin to be as strong or as honest as Lauren.   She is one of the most trustworthy and hardworking people I know.  Anything she sets her mind to is completed to the best of her ability.  

I am so incredibly blessed to have her in my life.  Thank you for being my best friend, Laur.

Leaving...

I'm leaving John Carroll today and I have the icky "Leaving Connor" feeling... I so hate it but I know that as soon as I get home, it will be that much closer to him coming home again. I've had a wonderful weekend up here. Connor took me skiing in New York, we saw a couple amazing movies, and I had a very successful meeting with the soccer coach up here. Slum Dog Millionnaire was amazing and completely lived up to the hype. We also saw I Love You, Man which was the first "funny" movie that I've actually enjoyed in a long time! It was just a great weekend and reminded me of how much I love him and I love spending time with him.. (It is easy to forget those things with the constant distance.)

I will put pictures up later... Happy Monday :)

Soccer

As I type, I am up at John Carroll visiting Connor. He is at workouts right now, hence, I am blogging. :) I had a meeting this morning with the John Carroll Women's Soccer coach. We had communicated before about meeting up and me possibly playing for them next year. I was surprised at her interest in me because she has never seen me play.
My meeting went so so well. She was way nice and I learned a lot about the program and college soccer that I didn't know before.. I think JCU is definitely a place I would like to be. I have no doubt in my mind that I would love playing soccer and going to school here. However, it is very expensive and quite far away from home.
Another big thing to consider is that Connor is here. I would love to be living in the same place as him again, the long distance thing has been tough on me, but it would also be a really big decision to make. I can't deny that I'm not choosing this particular school because of him, but I definitely would not have considered it without him being here. The thing is, if it doesn't work out between him and I, how wierd would it be for us to both be here.. Also, he is unsure of whether or not he will be staying up here for 4 years. That would also be wierd for me to come up and then him go back to Florida, whether or not I was coming here for him.
Just a lot a lot of decisions to make and questions to ask.

Happy Blogging

So I'm pretty sure the only person that is going to be reading this is Lauren. However, I love reading other people's blogs (creepy? yes.) and finding out what makes them tic. Maybe someone will enjoy reading mine.. (don't worry, I won't think you're a creeper)

Happy Blogging Laur!
