It's not the breaths you take, It's how you breath

So earlier today, I had a follow up checkup on my Bone Graft and Root Canal Surgery from a month ago. Blah! I feel like my mouth costs a million bucks! I'm tired of going to the Dentist or Endodontist. Now I have to go to an Orthodontist for braces! Well that won't happen for awhile. But as far as I'm concerned I have to get dentures and get 4 wisdom tooth taken out. Well enough of that....


When you have promptings given to you; DO IT! The Holy Spirit will guide you to what needs to be done and I strongly testify to that.


I know that the past few weeks, the spirit has been really telling me to do all sorts of stuff and I've just been following it. I've been reading my scriptures twice daily and have been praying that everything would just fall in to place and it has been falling in to place. I make good choices and I'm happy as I'll ever be. 


I am the type of person that will not dwell in the past. Yes, I do move on fast only for the simple fact that I don't wanna be down and sad for a really long time. I am someone who just lives life to the fullest and just want to have a smile on my face at all times.


So I know my parents know that I've been going on dates and as well as some of my friends... I've just gotten over a downfall of a 17-month relationship and I've already moved on. As crazy as this sounds, I had a prompting in the LDSBC elevator tell me to ask this guy to the Girl's Choice Spring Formal and it didn't even cross my mind until two days later that I had to do it because it was another life changing experience. And so I did ask him to the formal. 


This guy served his mission in Pennsylvania and right of the bat, I will tell the all the girls out there to date an RM, because you will never get enough of hearing about the mission experiences. I think it's way awesome that he has let me read some of his journal entries and as I read them, I felt like I was there. If we refer to where Joseph Smith was baptized, I'm pretty sure he told me that they baptized people in that same place too. Which I think is pretty cool. He's also very smart. I have never conversed with a person, so intellectual and at the same time we have a good laugh about it. He wants to become a Pathologist (if I remember correctly). So as he's taking all these Chemistry and Biology classes currently, as we drive around the city, as it is either raining or snowing he states, "The weirdest thing about the rain is that you can't just say it's raining because when you think broader it's liquid precipitation that requires the presence of a thick layer of the atmosphere to have temperatures above the melting point of water near and above the Earth's surface..." Our conversations would be smart conversations and never would I have thought that I would learn so much from him. The other thing he stated was that Stereotypes are there because they're true! And now I realize that. When you look at him, you won't even think he's that smart, you'll be quick to assume that he's just different. 


This is why I go out of my comfort zone and do something totally different. I also have to point out the fact that he values eating breakfast. I have to admit, I am now starting to eat breakfast daily and exercise every morning. It's healthy. He also knows how to cook and it amazes me to think that he made spaghetti for our first  home cooked meal. It was different but in a good way. We have gone to a ton of dates and I have met his parents only because we wanted to do it for fun not in a way that's like, "it's time for you to meet my parents" kinda way... But he's from Bountiful, UT and his parents live on top of a hill that overlooks the city. It is such a beautiful area I would say. I feel as if he has gone above and beyond with my expectations with what I imagined I would even do. He loves to go hiking and snowboarding. One day we will have to go snowboarding, I've been wanting to do that for so long now and just play in the snow. 


This weekend we're going on a family function and we're going to a Rec Center for a party. It'll be a ton of fun. One thing's for sure is that I've never actually gone on a date with someone whose family is still together and this is the first one. He has a great family and I'm all for families being together forever. I now understand that concept in my life and I'm thankful that my parents raised me to be who I am today because I value my family more than anything.


So girls, never lower your standards.


Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies (Proverbs31:10)


You are all important to my life and I value your friendships. All things are possible when you do something about it.

I love you all and Have a great day!
