A New Journey: You can't wipe the grin from my face.

I feel like I need to take a few minutes and just gush about how absolutely wonderful and perfect my life is right now. I don't remember ever feeling quite this happy. To begin, I will be graduating from college with a BS in biology on May 4th!!! I have awaited this day for so long.

Second, my boyfriend got the date that he will be leaving for basic training. He's shipping out on October 16th to Fort Leonard Wood, which will only be about 5 hours away from me when I am in school in Memphis. Not only will he go to basic there, but he will be stationed there as well. He is super excited about this, which means I am excited, too. He can't wait to blow up stuff (that will pretty much be his job).

Today was also Easter. I love Easter for so many reasons. I love the story of Christ's sacrifice on the cross for us. I don't think there is a more beautiful or perfect story ever written. And the wonderful thing about this story is that it wasn't just written. It actually happened!! We are healed by the wounds of our Savior. It doesn't get much better than that.
I also love the tradition of getting dressed up on Easter Sunday and taking lots of pictures with my family. In fact, that's where all of the pictures on this post came from.

I could honestly go on for paragraphs about all of the wonderful things that have been going on in my life lately...but I won't do that. I just wanted to shout to the world (or my 2-3 blog readers) that I am happy happy happy. I hope you're happy, too.
