Wow, What a Week!

Wow, if you would have told me that I was goin to have the last week and a half that I have had I would have never believed you. This past week and a half have been pretty tough and very emotional for me and it's not just because I'm a girl either. To start the week off my very serious boyfriends decieded out of no where that he wanted to break up which I'm not goin to lie was probably the hardest thing I've had to go through. Then I ended up in the hospital, let me tell ya if you have never been in the hospital be so grateful it is definitely not a fun place to be. Then once I finally got out of the hospital I had to go get all 4 of my wisdom teeth out. Fun, I think not!

Even though this past week an a half has been way hard on me, I have found myself thinking about my life and maybe that there is something that I'm supposed to learn from all of this. Especially the break up with my boyfriend. Yesterday, I was bored and I remembered the night that Aaron broke up with me my roommate Madi (what an angel and sweetheart!) drove me to the provo temple up the street from out apartment and read me an article from the ensign that was about trials.

So yesterday, I decided to go reread that article for myself. When I read this article I found that it was exactly what I needed to read right now. In this talk titled "All Things Work Together for Good" Elder Martino not only talked about trials but he also talked about what we can do to help get through these trials in our lives. As I was reading this I realized again that doing these things would help me so much and if I wanted to be able to get through this rough patch in my life that I needed to follow his counsel. Also, he mentioned in his talk that as we are going through trials not to always ask why me. But instead ask what can I learn from what I am going through. Ya it's easier said then done believe I know this . But if we try to keep a positive attitude then we will be able to be happier and get through what we are going through easier, it will also help us to draw closer to Christ. I really learned a lot from this talk, if you get a chance I would recommend that everyone should read it.

Well since I have had such a hard past couple of weeks now, I need to just get out of my apartment. And thank goodness that last night was my best friend Lindsey's 20th birthday. So all of my friends and I got together to go to dinner at Chili's our favorite place and then we went to our friends house and watched the proposal. It was so much fun and it was seriously what I needed right now. Those girls, (Savannah, Lindsey, Alicia, and Carolyn) were just what I needed last night. We had so much fun together just talking and being girls I loved it. I don't think I could ask for better girlfriends in this whole entire world! Being with them I was laughing, having fun, and being happy which was something that I hadn't done since everything had happened to me.

I realized that I think part of the reason that I was able to have fun and everything was because I was doing what the talk by Elder Martino said. I wasn't dwelling on everything, I wasn't thinking about how sad I am not being with Aaron, I was just enjoying myself and having fun with my friends. I don't think these girls realize it but they are such amazing girls, they not only helped my last night have fun and just forget about everything that was going on. But they have always been there for me and I am so grateful to them. I love them so much!!!!

I think after everything that has been goin on in my life, ya it has been so incredibly hard on me. But I don't think I'm goin to let it get my down anymore, I can't I need to be able to be happy and live my life. My friends and reading that talk made me realize all of this. I'm so grateful for everyone in my life. Even Aaron, yes I still love him so much and am sad that things are the way that they are right now. But no what that's just life sometimes it just throws you a curve ball. So I'm goin to get on with my life and see what Heavenly Father has instore for me, it's kinda exciting to wait. Well until next time, have a good day! Luv ya :)
