Butterflies and Hope fors.

I don't know if I ever mentioned this but Mike and I have been reading the book the Peacegiver for.....at least a month. More than that I think but we finally finished it yesterday! It was quite the accomplishment. It's a great book if any of you haven't read it. It makes you look at the atonement of the Savior in a different light.
Anyway I had my first day of school today since I've got a tues, thursday class. It was Pathophysiology. My first impression is that I'm in for a tough one. Interesting as the material may be...The teacher has a test on like 4 chapters scheduled once a week it...yikes!
I guess he was serious when he said "DON'T GET BEHIND!" I could certainly use a prayer or two so throw one up for me huh? I did get a father's blessing this morning from my pops. I'm grateful so much for the power of the Priesthood. I can't imagine what it's like for people who don't have that power within their homes.
I got started working on my lesson tonight. I've got Helaman 1-5 to prepare this week. The lesson title is, "A Sure Foundation" I really wanna get it planned out before the weekend. Cause thats what it usually comes to and it's tough for me to have a stress free weekend. So, hopefully I get it finished. I also need to write a page and a half paper for my online art class. But...I'm sharing my books with my sister McKenna so I can't do that til I go over to her house and read the entry I'm supposed to.
Man...it's been so nice not having a to-do list over the summer. So nice. Hopefully as I get back into the habit of school, it'll all seem more managable. Mike is taking 17 credits this semester. Isn't that crazy? I can barely manage my 12! He goes to school everyday of the week and for hours on end. That's dedication.
I did sign up for a m,w institute class thats at 9am. Travis is taking it too. It's Scripture Study Fundamentals: The power of the Word. Mike I think is going to take it with us too. So thats one time during the week I'm guaranteed to see him even if we're both swamped with the rest of our lives.
Have I mentioned I'm in love? Seriously.....I love J. Michael Coombs with everything I have.

And I hope the feeling never fades. I love the sheer excitement to see him when he comes over at night. Or just adoring the sometimes far-fetched things that come out of his mouth, wanting to be in his arms more than any place on earth....but its frustrating when I tell Mike I love him because the words just don't come out like I want them to. I know that he can't hear the sincerity. It just sounds like any other 3 little words. But if he knew how I felt....then he'd understand that I LOVE HIM. He's the best guy out there, hands down, no questions asked. I'm so lucky to have kept him around this long. Maybe send up another prayer that he doesn't realize he's way cooler than me ;) oh wait...is that the love train I hear??....oh Mike....xoxo!
