Andrew sent me this picture a little bit ago. I just think that it is beautiful. I have always been impressed with how amazing this world is. I am so thankful that I get to live on this earth that our Father in Heaven created for us. Yesterday in primary we were singing that song that starts: "Whenever I hear the song of a bird..." I just love that song. I love pretty much all of the primary songs, with the exception of Nephi's Courage simply because when my brother Seth was little we had to sing that song as opening and closing for FHE every single week! The message in the song is good, but man oh man. Anyways, as I have been thinking about all of the things that are happening to people I know (most of them bad) I have been trying to think of blessings that could come as a result of those hard times. I know that may sound a little too happy, cheery, whatever, but it is true. Although I am still young I have lived through enough to know that dwelling on the negative will never lead to a positive outcome. And so I think back about my attitude of late and I must apologize for it has been somewhat negative. I am sorry about that. There are so many things I have been blessed with it seems selfish of me to ask for more. So, my new goal is to try to think positive thoughts in every situation and see how that works. I know it will be hard, but in the end I am sure that it will be worth it. I want to see the beauty in each sunrise and sunset, knowing that eventually Andrew and I will enjoy them together rather than on opposite sides of the earth.

Aww, so sweet! You have a great outlook on things right now. I know it must be hard to be away from him (seriously, not sure I would be coping as well as you!) but I think you are doing great with all that you have on your plate right now. Hang in there, and soon enough you will be together again.
btw, that IS a beautiful picture!
What a beautiful picture. You are one strong woman being away from your new husband for such a lengthy time. Jamie was gone for a week and I complained. Give yourself a break :)
I was just thinking the same thing about the earth and how many different types of landscape, scenery, etc there are...Heavenly Father is one creative guy! That song is hands-down my favorite primary song. I still remember the poster my primary chorister made to help us learn it! I'm with Shannon, I think you are doing great as far as being away from your husband for so long. I wouldn't be doing as well as you!
