Happy and so :)

I realized tonight that I am the happiest I think I have ever been in my life. This realization came somewhere between walking home from a 50s WWII movie (for Memorial Day) and running out with a willing guy and girl friend to check the lawn for detergent in ziplocs. Life truly is beautiful. How overwhelmed I am at the blessing of our God! I truly feel completely enshrouded with love and protection, I want to shout to all the world the JOY the Gospel brings. There is something special up here in these mountains, and I wouldn't trade it for any other opportunity I could have taken this summer... truly, I feel so blessed. I feel so humbled to be held so closely in the palm of my Heavenly Father's hand, it overwhelms me. There is nothingh so glorious as a Father above loving His child, there is nothing so glorious as a parent's love for their children... I saw these single parents come these last weekend, devoting their lives, sleep, social/emotional/physical--EVERY aspect of their lives to their kids. I see my sweet siblings try so diligently to raise their kids in the best way they know, to teach them to reach for the light. It amazes me these mortal parents devoting their lives to their children. And you know what? I can't wait for that day :)
