remember the times

well, it has been a couple of weeks. but i've officially been home over a year. i remember when people would ask me, i felt like i was always a couple months behind. it almost made me feel better for not being home so long. but it happens, the year mark come along... and life still goes on.

i really am doing well. i have loved this last year. oh it has been a HARD year in so many ways. but i've learned a lot, and have a lot to keep doing.


i was with mica, my trainer, the other night, and we were reminiscing, and reading some old things we had written when we were in the mission. oh how i miss those days. as i read what i had written, i really could see how pure i was (not boasting of myself).

real world is a lot harder than i ever thought it would be. i WISH i could say that i am at the same level i was a year ago... but i definitely have slipped, and have some work do to. but thank goodness for all that is around me to lift me up. i've really come to realize that is what is important... surrounding myself with those who will help me progress.

oh i miss a lot of the mission. but i will say, i have made some friends from the mission have meant a lot to me. not to mention the friends i had pre-mission... those friendships are so much stronger too! not to mention seeing my family progress in their lives, and see us all grow up! oh how the times pass...
