Ups and Downs

Life can be such a roller coaster.  Some days you feel full of faith, confident, and on top of the world.   Other days Satan gets the better of you and you couldn't feel worse.  Today is one of those worse days.  Being at CSI is a challenge for me mentally, socially, and spiritually some days.  I think my mom puts it best as "living among the Lamanites".  It's hard to go from living with your best friends, going to devotional every week, and having a "strict" yet wonderful honor code that keeps you safe to trying to find where you fit in.  I love school and I love the fact that Nikelle is up here.  I am so grateful for the opportunity we've had to rekindle our friendship.  I'm so happy for her that she is going to BYU-Idaho but it really makes me wonder...what is the next step in my life?  Where are my bosom friends?  However, enough of that silly rant I am soooo grateful for the good family and friends that are in my life.  This weekend I got to be a bridesmaid in my bosom friend Nichole's wedding!  It was such a neat opportunity!  I am so grateful for the good influence she has always been to me.  Here's some pictures of recently ;)
