You Know Me . . .

You know me.

I'm the one who's been there
. . . from the start . . .

w a i t i n g

w o n d e r i n g

. . . like the song . . .
you know the one.

You sang it once
behind me in the doorway.

Does it surprise you?

I think that sometimes
you forget that I'm still there.
Sometimes you forget me

. . . on purpose . . .

But it doesn't matter
I won't leave

. . . unless I have to . . .

I'll always be your friend.
. . . always . . .

Sometimes
you draw me in.

I don't know why.

Do you?

Does my presence confuse you?

Yes,

It confuses me too.


But for now
. . . I'll stay . . . and I'll try . . .
but not too hard

Because I care
. . . too much . . .

Is that possible?
To care too much?

Your well-being is more important
than my own

. . . that much I know . . .
just as you know me.


Do I know you?

Life is Grand!

Can I just say that I LOVE MY LIFE?!? Seriously.

First of all -- I was home for the week (which is always relaxing) and Conference was AMAZING. As I was driving back to Provo after the weekend home, I was thinking about the talks and which one I would label as my "favorite" should someone ask. Well, I don't have one. There isn't even one that stands out more than the others because ALL of them were amazing, wonderful, and directed toward me. I think it was the first time in my life that I didn't even start to doze while watching. Wow. You can REWATCH ANY OF THE TALKS HERE!

Secondly -- I'M GOING BACK TO EUROPE!!! Wahoo!!! My parents told my three younger brothers and I that we're going to Europe for two and a half weeks this summer and I CAN'T WAIT! We'll be starting off in London on June 8th (been there) and ending in PARIS on June 23rd (OBVIOUSLY I've been there ;) -- and I can't wait to go back to my "second home") and we'll be hitting Amsterdam, Vienna, and Frankfurt in between . . . possibly more.

Thirdly -- Yesterday I was feeling all sorts of love from my friends. I have the greatest friends. Ever. Hands down. I also have the greatest family. And I'm getting a nephew in August! :)

Finally -- I had my LAST BYU observation yesterday. Don't worry -- I've really passed! (Not that I was worried) But it's done. Over. I teach a short day tomorrow, have Thursday and Friday off, teach all next week and then Graduate. Crazy.

I'll repeat -- I LOVE MY LIFE!!! :)
