So, as you can see I have been on a leave of absence from blogging mostly due to my previous entry and my new obsession.  I finished the series up to this point last Friday night.  I really enjoyed it and am going to start reading it again with less vigor than before.  Now that I know what happens and everything.  But for some reason, this book was almost unhealthy for me and I am now trying to get back into the reality that is life.  Not that I thought vampires were real but I think I just enjoyed the escape a little too much and enjoyed having something to do.  Anyway I guess I should update on what has been going on.

I guess the problem is…not much.  Life is pretty calm and normal.  We have been going snowboarding on Saturdays.  It is so nice when the sun warms up the snow and makes it easier to control.  So now we reserved Saturdays for that and do not go at night after it becomes icy again.  But we have made excellent progress this season and have not really fallen for the last few times we have gone.  I am totally surprised that I can get down the hill at all.

Spring is coming and that is the most exciting thing.  We are both just working and I am going to start getting organized for school soon.  Something I want to do sooo bad but am having a hard time working on.  The thing I am most excited about is the first meeting of the book group I organized at church.  I am just looking forward to getting to know the other women and have some time just to talk.

I hope that my gloomy blog has not brought your day down.  I just gave a lesson on discouragement two weeks ago in church. Nephi gets discouraged in 2nd Nephi after his father passed away.  A talk on the subject interpreted him to say “I know its wrong but I still sin.  I am so blessed but I am not happy.”  That is a rough quote  but it seems to encompass my feelings lately.  But I know from his example I can feel better.
