I suppose I can keep this going...

I really should not be updating this right now, seeing as I have two extensive research papers that need to be finished by thursday night... Oh well. I will just give a quick update for any of you who care! Jerusalem was amazing, and now I am moving on with my life... (yet still missing it every day!) Life is going well, I'm still going to school at BYU (excited to finish up the semester in 17 days) and now I am working for the Women's Research Institute as a research assistant working on projects specifically dealing with combating the violence that is spreading throughout the world through peace programs aimed at teaching children important higher-order skills needed for building peaceful relationships - i.e. kindness, forgiveness, compassion, and a deep respect for self and others, (rather than simply anti-violence or conflict-resolution programs). I think I'm really going to enjoy this job!

Another exciting event that transpired a week ago is that Michael Killen returned from his mission to El Salvador! I got to go to the airport to see him arrive and awkwardly shake his hand, haha, after which, we then spent the rest of the week together which was awesome. It was fun getting him caught up on movies and music a little bit, though he still has a long way to go. I sure did miss him. It's so good to have him back. Two years really is a long time!

Anyways, so those are the things that are going on in my life right now. Hopefully everything will continue to go well! I have a lot of decisions to make now... Graduate? Work? Graduate school? Internships? Marriage? Mission? It will be interesting to see what happens. :)

Love you all! Thanks for all of your support!
