So I just finished Love Walked In and surprise, surprise, I LOVED it. Just reading about some of her old movie references inspired me to turn on the Turner Classic Movie channel. I think Cornelia is a much stronger woman than me, but I definitely identified with her. And let's be honest, I wish I had a gorgeous childhood friend to fall in love with. Oh, and this entry is helping me avoid figuring out "what color is my parachute".
Which explains why I identified with Cornelia's discovery: As she learned that prior to Martin's entrance into her life she was "...one who spent her days skirting around the edges of adulthood, commitment, responsibility, accomplishment". After Martin, she learned that real life is not "going after what you want and getting it" but "knowing what you love and why".
I'm not sure exactly why this week has been different, maybe because I've been praying to understand the Lord's mission for me on earth and here in Arizona, but I've become especially grateful for close friends and family. I think sometimes I get so caught up in the need to have everyone like me, that I forget to revel in the friendships I already have.
So, I want to tell each of you how much I love you. I love you for your goodness and your testimonies. I love you for our shared experiences: girls camp, weekend parties, "Made in the USA", making movies, etc, etc. And I love you for being a part of my life.

I love you all! Really I do and I'm so glad we have this little book club blog. You're all invited to my house this weekend for General Conference and lots of comfort food. Any takers?
Ditto to the loving all of you! I just finished "Love is Eternal". I really don't know how to describe my feeling about this book in one statement. There were parts I loved, parts that were totally cheesy, parts that were boring, and I could go on and on. Overall I liked it and I'm glad that I read it.
