Success thus far!!

So, I'm sure you all have been waiting in great anticipation to find out how our cleaning goal is coming. This is day 5 and our apartment is still clean! There are NO clothes on our bedroom floor, it's amazing! Our hampers are fulfilling their calling in life and filled with clothes. Our kitchen has clean counters and the garbage isn't overflowing. The kitchen table is clean enough we can eat dinner there, it's fabulous. I used to think being a neat freak was overrated, but I take it back, it's amazing! We love being home and it really is so worth it to just keep it clean as you go. I mostly think of Tessa for my example as I go along and her cleaning skills, along with her numchuck(sp?) skills, bowstaff skills....I've been really into quoting Napoleon Dynamite this week, don't ask me why.
Today was our final for Med/Surg nursing, I passed! Yay! Nursing school has taken over my life, but it is going good, at the end of it all, I love learning all these new things and then putting them into practice at clinical. Aren't brains amazing? I have no idea how that mushy thing with all the wiggly lines and being the color of silly putty can actually enable me to learn and remember all this information. Fascinating. I love learning about our bodies, they're amazing! The more I learn about the human body, the more it proves to me that Heavenly Father is real. No way could amoebas mutate into us!? It just works out too perfectly. Scientists say that Creationism is far-fetched, but thinking about a single organism becoming all the creatures on the earth, including us? I find that much harder to explain.
On a different note, we had a neat experience last month. Tanner and I had talked about doing something to help someone out, but we weren't sure about it. Then Tanner got a prompting a few days later that we should do it. He talked to me that night and I knew it was right, so we did it and the people we helped out told us that they had been praying for a miracle that day and then we called them that night! We never would have if it weren't for the Spirit telling Tanner over and over again to do it. It was a wonderful experience, I'm not telling it to brag, I'm sharing it because it made me realize just how aware of us our Heavenly Father really is and that if we're willing, He will answer prayers through us. I felt so blessed that we were able to have that experience and feel His love for us. I'm so grateful for the gospel, it truly is amazing. I was talking to a friend the other day about how wicked the world has become and all the horrible things happening around us. Sometimes it makes me wonder, how can I bring a child into this? But talking we came to the conclusion that having the Lord and his Spirit in our lives is what will get us through. We need faith to do it and it won't be easy, but He will help us know the right things to do to help them through life and hopefully they'll be protected from the bad things in the world and when things do happen, He will help us cope, that is what the Atonement is for. This is a random bunch of thoughts, but I really am so grateful for how blessed I am!
