California, Illinois, or Canada

So it looks like in November we might be moving to

Vancouver, Canada,

Chicago, Illinois, or

San Francisco, California

The project Landi is working on will be ending in November and if they don't have a project here in Utah than he either gets layed off or he gets moved to a project in one of these three locations. Hopefully it is the second part of what I just said.

Love

Falling in love is a powerful thing. There have doubtless been more books written, more movies made, more songs sung about love and falling in love than about any other topic. Finding a person to love is the ultimate treasure hunt. Falling in love, one person reflected, is finding "someone just right, someone you loved like the best pal you ever had and the worst crush you ever had." It can be so consuming that the desire to be with another becomes unrelenting, occupying your every thought, your every desire, your every minute of the day. It's intense. It's exhilarating. To fully portray the feeling on paper has always been elusive to even the most adept poets. To comprehend it, love has to be experienced. And oh, what a wonderful experience! He captures her heart, she captures his; there ia a mutual victory and surrendering for both.

"The Lord has ordained that we should marry," said President Gordon B. Hinckley, "that we shall love together in love and peace and harmony.... The time will come when you will fall in love. It will occupy all of your thoughts and be the stuff of which your dreams are made...You will know no greater happiness than that found in your home...The truest mark of your success in life will the quality of your marriage....This choice [of a companion] will be the most important of all the choices you make in your life."
