 There are sooo many things I've been meaning to post about for so long.  So now I'm just going put up a bunch of pictures of some of the things I've missed.  Mostly they are from Christmas or earlier!

Julia and I have always been really different in a lot of ways.  Our tastes, goals, styles- most of it is very very different.  I love Audrey Hepburn.  She loves Marilyn Monroe.  Those kinds of things.  But two things that we do have in common are that we love everything about being home and that we have testimonies of the church.  I can understand how she is feeling in my own Hillary way.  Recently, I found this video and it has comforted me.  So even though we are different, and even though Elder Holland is not her favorite speaker (another way we are different), I hope that some of his words and the words of this song might speak to her heart the way it has spoken to mine.  Maybe it won't comfort her in the same way at all, and that's okay.  I just wanted to share it and tell her that she is loved.
