Spring is coming to an end

Does it make me sad? Yes of course. I don't want Spring to end! I'm not ready for it to! I have been so busy with work lately, and I am loving it.
I am going to go to the Logan temple this weekend, and I am going hiking tomorrow. I can't wait. I love staying busy. It keeps my mind in the right places, and helps me to focus on what is truly important and what the Lord wants me doing.
Spiritually these past few months have been hard. In trying to find a balance where I can figure out what the Lord wants for me, I've spiraled into a lot of interesting situations and lots of tears. Doing what my Heavenly Father wants is sometimes the hardest decision that has to be made, but it is ALWAYS the best one. I have grown a lot spiritually and am looking forward to celebrating my one year anniversary of my baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on July 10th. This year has truly had it's ups and downs, but throughout, I have felt the love of a Heavenly Father that understands my trials and can walk me through them with ease.
What I am grateful for this week:
I have also grown to love and respect my mom a lot more. I realize the wonderful things she has done for me and the sacrifices that she has made in order to be the amazing mother that she is. I'm grateful for her in so many ways, that just can't be expressed in words. She is the most amazing woman I know. I am grateful for my dad. His humor and most of all his love continually show through, regardless of how hard he tries to hide it! My dad is the perfect example to me of a successful person. He does what he loves every day and has always set an example for me to set my sights high and aim for the biggest and best that I can be in every situation. I am so happy for my step-mom, Vanessa, in my life. She is so good at planning and being organized. She is a strong willed woman and always stands up for what she believes. Vanessa is one of those people that you love to be around because she is always doing things for other people without a worry in the world. I am grateful for my step-dad, Bim. Him and I are so similar that we clash a lot. But what I have come to realize is that I'm grateful for the tiffs that we have had over the years, maybe it has trained me to be a lawyer! Haha. I love him for always trying as hard as he could at being a step-dad and just being a wonderful man in general. I am so thankful for my sister, Julia. She has always been a great big sister. When I was little, and fat, she made me watch what I ate. She has always been there for me, and she has always been my biggest advocate. She was the first person who stood up for me joining the LDS church. I love her so much, and even though we are complete opposites, I'm happy we get along so well.

I have been realizing what I am grateful for lately. I know that I have so many more things to be grateful for, but above all, I am grateful for my family.
This has been a great month, and I can't wait to see what comes next.
