My Latest

Updates in my life:

I’m in 2 Nefi now in my Cartea lui Mormon.

I’m getting to know the kindest man on the face of the planet; I like him a lot, and I’m hoping he likes me, too.

I’m in the process of researching for and writing two lit reviews—one on reactive attachment disorder in Romanian orphans and one on alexithymia in people with body image/eating issues. I have to remind myself every so often that I love writing research papers, or else I forget.

My mom got in town last night and will be here for the next few days. Howe family reunion in Fairview tomorrow!

I’ve discovered the joy of the mp3 recordings of the most recent general conference talks on the internet.

I’m loving country social dance! It’s great fun, because since it’s a beginning class, I feel like I’m a really good dancer. Haha.

I’ve been making very good use of my family’s cell phone plan lately; between my mom and brother and me, we have 57 day minutes left for next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I’m thinking it wasn’t my mom or brother that used up all our minutes.

I believe in the power that one person has to make a difference, and I believe that Jesus Christ has the power to save every person from their sorrows, pains, disappointments, inadequacies, sins, and heartaches.

Yesterday I just found out the super exciting news that the Jerusalem Center is opening back up for BYU students, starting this fall!!! If I weren’t going to Romania, you better believe I’d be signing myself up!

I’m still loving G-2 pens, flip-flops, ice cream, and going running.

Despite the fact that I have more to do than can ever be done, I still find myself reading These Is My Words and writing in my journal. I think that’s probably a good sign.

I am so grateful for my friends, because I have the best in the world.

In a nutshell, my life is grand.
