Sometimes you are away at school... And sometimes you miss your family. Sometimes you feel sad that you have to get your jacket back out because it's 50 degrees and raining (when it was just 85 yesterday!! From what I hear, this is what the Spring season is like everywhere but AZ -- all moody and whatnot. )

But then sometimes you have really good friends, who know the importance of fresh air and baked goods. And if you're really lucky, these friends (or just one in particular) will know when to listen and when to sympathize and when to encourage... and then the realization dawns on you that you are one lucky girl! And to buck up! and stop moping! You remember all the blessings you've been given (a loving, supportive, hilarious family - good, kind, genuine friends - the opportunity to receive an education - adventures in a new place - your freedom - a Heavenly Father) and wonder why you were ever down in the first place.

So, thank you, Chelsi, for reminding me...

And sometimes cupcakes just make everything better, which make them even more amazing!! And I am so thankful I have a friend like you that will put up with me talking about the same things over and over again and and teach me yoga at 4AM to help my back. I can't thank you enough.....love you girl!!

We are one!
