I'm a Mormon

I created this blog as a way to share my beliefs. I am a little nervous about this, as these are truths that I hold very close to my heart. They are so sacred to me. I am not trying to convert anyone or tell people how they ought to live their lives. I am simply sharing the things that make me happy, and maybe they will make you happy, too.

So, to start, a little about me. I grew up in a small town in an LDS (Latter-day Saint, aka Mormon) family, but there were very few mormons in my area. I'm a daughter and a sister. I'm a wife to an outstanding husband, and an aunt to 10 nieces and nephews (plus one on the way!). I'm a biology student in my senior year of college. Sometimes I love school, and sometimes I just can't wait for it to be over. I like to quilt and attempt to sew in my free time. I enjoy hiking and camping. I hate the cold, and I stink at contact sports. I have many goals and plans for life. I try to be an optimistic person, and I think I usually am. I am hopeful about the future. I enjoy seeing the good in people around me, and I try to get over my own insecurities so I can see the good in myself. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm a mormon.
