Merry Christmas

I am going to try and write on my blog more than once a month. :) So we'll start with two and move from there.
I have had a very busy month. School finals, Relief Society (did I mention that they made me president a while back?), family, friends, and Jonathan (also a friend, but a little different). My phone got stolen two weeks ago, so I have had trouble communicating with people. Although a small blessing because I wasn't overloaded with communication. I think that sometimes we just need breaks. But only short ones.
The downside of not having a phone was having close encounters with other cars and ditches during the lovely winter weather. I told my students about the downsides (because it was one of them who stole my phone) and one of them said "That's just messed up!" I whole heartedly agreed and asked them if they knew who might have my phone. I didn't get a whole lot of help there, but it was encouraging to hear my students ask me about it every day after. They do care. :)
Christmas break has started and I have a ton of grading to do, but I keep putting it off of course. I've been spending time with Jonathan. We went to the temple with his parents, Scott, Cory and his wife Becky. This was all fine until we were asked to do some sealings. I'd never done sealings or have even seen them. It definitely makes you think to do them with someone you're dating...His parents smiled the whole time.
I know this has been kind of a random post. But I guess that's just my personality coming out. :) I'm going to see a lot of good friends this break, some I have already seen. I am really grateful for all the people in my life. Thank you.

For My Friend

So I've decided that I really only write this blog for Laura. :) Because she's the only one who reads it. :)
Yesterday, I called Laura, but she didn't answer. And then I called my friend Julianne who answered and we were talking and then Laura called, but I didn't answer because I was talking to Julianne. And then Staci called and we arranged a meeting. Well, actually I called Staci before Laura to arrange the meeting and Staci was calling me back to let me know that they were on their way to my house. And then Faith called to say they were at my front door. (I was still on the phone with Julianne through Staci and Faith's calls. And I was sitting in the car.) This all happenned in the course of 20 minutes. I was amazed at how fast Staci and Faith got to my house after just barely calling the meeting. They are who we call dedicated servants of the Lord. I'm so lucky. And when I wanted to call Laura today, well, the phone was dead from talking to Jonathan. :S So my dear friend, I will call you once my phone is charged and my meetings are over tonight. It's funny how I only missed you by a few minutes and can't call you back for more than 24 hours. Maybe there is some validity to the "next friend" you were talking about. ;) I'm doing horribly.
