Hot Chocolate in July

So today I spent almost all day....packing....ya! Not so much my room is empty besides by clothes in my closet and my bedspread...than that it is emptied of all my belongings. So today it rained and kind of stormed and even though its still pretty hot I hate storms so I put on my fuzzy socks and heated up my favorite...hot chocolate! Then I worked on Grant's 1 year package and now I am blogging and watching 90210, I am now addicted to that show! I love Grant and I miss him right now! Okay now this is the end of the this random blog ramble!

Tough Stuff


So I love my Grant! This morning was really hard his mom called me and told me that his cousin had passed away in an accident. So they were going to call Grant but his cousin had emailed him first. My heart goes out to their entire family. Grant and his cousin were fairly close and I know this is going to be really hard for him. I love that boy so much I just wish that I could be there for him, especially right now to give him a big hug and tell him that I love him and everything will be okay. Right now I have been thinking about how grateful I am that Heavenly Father has made it possible for us to be with our families forever. I know that he will see his cousin again one day. It makes Grant's mission seem that much more important because he is out there teaching families about how they can spend forever together! I love him and I miss him so much but I know that things will get easier. So please pray for the Stevenson family!

Another Random Ramble

Today feels like summer is over...and that makes me sad :( Thursday was my last day of school for the semester and I finished with A's in both of my classes so I was pretty happy. On Thursday I took my Medical Assistant application to Twin and Grant's mom rode with me ( I think I scared her a little I am not the best town driver, I do much better out in the sticks). Then we came back and worked on a skirt her young women want to make. It was so fun and I love getting to spend time with Grant's family. Then yesterday I broke down and got Netflix and now that's all I've done since then...hmm oh well. I'll be moving in about 2 weeks and that seems pretty scary for me. I still don't feel old enough to be moving out on my own yet. Ugh Grant is doing well, he says he is doing his physical therapy and this time he actually wants to do it so he can get some movement back in his wrist. He has had a few baptisms and I don't have pictures yet but when I do I will put them on. I am so proud of him and lately I miss him like CRAZY, but next week is his 1 year mark so at least I know I am making some progress!

So....

So there's this boy and I kinda love him A LOT! He is about 5' 7" or 5' 8", brownish blonde hair, the most gorgeous brown eyes that make me weak in the knees, a contagious laugh that you when you heard it you just knew it was him, the cutest little dimple, the most stubborn person I know, the hardest worker, a man with the strongest testimony, and best of all he loves me too! I am so in love with boy that I don't mind telling you all because he is just so awesome and adorable! I miss him a lot because I haven't seen him in 347 days and he is my best friend in the entire world! Wondering why I am writing this....there's a thunder storm going on...and I am terrified of them. Whenever there was a storm I would call and talk to him because he always knew how to make me feel better and calm me down...and now since I can't call him I listen to my iPod. I miss him a lot right now.
