Oh if it could be...

Sooo... for the last two days I've been really wrapped up in Pride and Prejudice and anything Jane Austin. I just love her stories!!! I guess the happy stories of love triumphing always gets me. Come to think of it all of my favorite novels end that way :/. But anyway I've been watching the BBC version on YouTube and I've been wanting to watch the newer one that we own. if only there were more hours in the day! What would happen if our lives were like these love stories? Wouldn't things just be so much easier? To find your one true love and know who he (or she)is the moment you meet. Just look at Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy... they were made for each other; and they both felt something the night they first met. (They just didn't know that it was love.) And to think they wasted so much energy trying to hate each other when they just fell deeper in love. Why can't life be like that?!?! Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait for the LDS version of my Darcy to come along. :D

Getting Real

So summer was amazing! Girls camp, Youth conference, Efy, and hanging out with friends. I don't remember ever having so much fun and felling the spirit as powerful as i did. What really hit me was when I got home from all of that and started preparing for school, anyway what hit me was how different real life is. The devil is everywhere and no joke it is really hard to stay away from everything. It sucks how much sex, drugs and cussing shows up in our society; and how hard it is to reject it all. It stinks how jealousy and gossip slink through the cliques of high school like a snake in water. I don't want to be one of the people who supports this stuff, but unfortunately I have been. I'm going to change that, its not going to be easy but i will do it. I just need a little help.
