Back on Track

After re-reading that last post, I realized that I haven't actually blogged about love in a while. That was supposed to be the whole purpose of this thing, wasn't it? Probably I just get sidetracked sometimes and have funny stories to tell instead of just blogging about love. But really, when I am happy and laughing, isn't that what love is all about, too? In fact, I kind of like this one boy right now, and probably my favorite thing about him is that when he laughs, he means it. Like, even when maybe it's not that funny, he goes all out and throws his head back and turns his face red and everything. Everyone should laugh like that! This life is too short not to absolutely love it.

But anyway, for future reference, usually if I am blogging about something other than flat out love, it's because I just love the way life is.

Here are just a few things that have happened recently that let me know I'm loved:

1. People have told me.

2. I talked with Mama and Kelsey on the phone for a couple of hours the other night because I got a little homesick and lonely, and Kelsey started crying because she misses me. It made me cry, too.

3. I went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house last week. It is absolutely beautiful. And, in the House of the Lord, I always feel His love for me so strongly. Especially in the Celestial Room and the Sealing Room, I felt so close to His Spirit and I know in my head and feel in my heart the truth of the Gospel.

¡Que maravillosa es amor!
