Currently.


It's March today? Seriously?
I feel like time is whizing by at lightning speed, and there is just nothing I can do about it. 
Perhaps it is because there are so many changes on the horizon or maybe it is just hormones,
but for whatever reason I have been feeling QUITE sentimental lately.

Yes, my blog is turning into a goodbye book lately,
and no it probably won't end anytime soon with graduation right around the corner.

Regardless, I wanted to capture a few feelings i have been having lately.

Shortly after I was married, my Nana shared a little piece of advice with me.
She said, "Courtney, Life is perfectly imperfect.
 What matters is that you enjoy the journey 
and find the happiness Heavenly Father intends for you."

She is a wise, wise woman.

Even though she shared this me years ago, 
I can still find truth in it every day.

With only 4 months left before we pack up and head to the sunny south, 
I have been thinking about Brett and my experiences over the past 3 years.

As I drive around, I see so many places that will always hold a special memory in our hearts.

OUR FIRST APARTMENT 
BYU CAMPUS.
NIELSONS GROVE PARK
THE TIMPANOGOS TEMPLE
MOUNTAIN VIEW HIGH SCHOOL.


These places hold such great significance and meaning to us.
In these places we learned that minimal steak seasoning goes a long way.
We learned I make piles and Brett is perfectly clean.
We learned how to share a bathroom (I guess still learning is a better way of putting it).
We learned how to lean on each other in times of heartache.
We learned how to fight.
We learned how to manage homework, laundry, callings, work, and still spending time together.
We learned how to compromise.
And more than anything, we learned how to serve one another and love.



I am definitely going to miss this stage of our lives. 
I'll admit, at times it seemed like it would never end and we were anxious for the next step.
But at the end of the day, I know I am going to look back and think
If only I would have realized that those years will be some of the best of your life...


So as we start the next chapter of our lives I hope we can remember what we've learned
and most importantly recognize that 

Life is perfectly imperfect.
 What matters is that you enjoy the journey 
and find the happiness Heavenly Father intends for you.
