One of the Seven

Well, I just moved home to my parents house after living in Bozeman for the last five and a half years.  I'll be here for another couple weeks before I make the final move (it's been a long process with many steps!) out to Indiana for grad school. 

These last few weeks have been kind of a bittersweet process of saying "see you later" (I refuse to say goodbye!) and just tying up loose ends.  It has been hard, but there have been some amazing experiences that came out of it all.  One example is a friendship I had that went through a lot of ups and downs over the last year.  I've know the whole time that it was worth it to me, but this last week I had the opportunity to see that our friendship had meant something to this other individual as well, which was kind of really cool to see.

Also along the lines of tying up loose ends, I had a chance to see one of my best friends this weekend who I don't get to see all that often anymore since she moved out of state.  We were visiting, and she told me about an idea that she had. 

In Bozeman, our stake president had asked us to do 7 Simple Things: 1. Personal prayer morning and night 2. Family prayer morning and night 3. Personal scripture study daily 4. Family scripture study at least 5 times a week 5. FHE weekly 6. Attend church weekly 7. Attend the temple monthly

Anyhow, my friend was talking about how, where she lives now, it's sometimes hard to have family scripture study because she and her roommates were never around at the same time, so she decided to start a blog (called One of the Seven) and invite a couple other people to join and contribute.  We share our thoughts from our personal scripture study for the day, and kind of count that as our family scripture study.  I LOVE IT!!!!  Such an amazing idea, but then again, she's amazing, which is why I'm friends with her! :)  I'm so exited for this because I am moving to Indiana and will no longer have roommates to scripture study with, so I'm glad that my friend had this idea.  I'm not gonna lie, it pretty much made my day!  Huzzah! :)
