I'm sure all of you know I am pretty obsessed with The Bachelorette this season. I'm getting Matt pretty addicted, too. Although some would say there is a lot of "trash" on the show, tonight's episode has hit some emotional cords inside of me. There are three guys left for Jillian to choose from. Tonight she was trying to get Reid to open up and tell her how he felt about her. Out of all the guys he's probably had the hardest time expressing to her his feelings. He said something tonight like, "Just because I don't say how I feel, doesn't mean I don't feel it for you." I thought that was a very interesting statement. It's totally a valid statement and probably completely true. BUT, I've thought to myself, "What good are those feelings if you don't tell her?" How will a relationship or friendship ever progress and grow if you don't tell that person how you feel? How will your children know that you love them unless you verbally say it? There are countless times throughout each day when I think to myself, "She looks really awesome in that outfit", or "My mom is the best mom in the world." But if I don't say it or show it, then what is the point of thinking it? One of my favorite songs lately is "Please Don't Leave Me" by Pink. There is a part towards the end where she says, "I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me". I really need to work harder at telling my husband and family how much I love them and think the world of them. I have the best husband and family. Ever.
I'm sorry if I haven't told you (any of you) that I think you're GREAT! Sometimes I forget to say it outloud. i LoVE yOu!
Some of you might've heard about the seminary president who was arrested last week. I've been really sad about it. I know some of his family pretty well and know that they are an incredible, outstanding family. I can't help but be grateful at this time for repentance and forgiveness, for the sake of both sides. Okay should I jump off my soap box yet? P.S. GIRLS CAMP ROCKS! I had a blast last week. The Young Women are AMAZING!
