Today (well yesterday technically) I discovered that it is National Peanut Butter Appreciation Day via someone's thoughtful post on the Book. I had been feeling guilty about consuming large amounts of peanut butter the last couple of days but now I know it was for a good cause. It was all leading up to today. And then I had the desire for some peanut butter cookies. Luckily I have a roommate who is a peanut butter cookie maker extraordinaire and she quickly whipped up a batch ... at 11:40 pm. If you're jealous that is understandable. But don't be too jealous because I am currently sitting here with a queasy stomach filled with delicious (or it was delicious at the time) peanut butter cookie dough. So here's to a fabulous National Peanut Butter Appreciation Day.
P.S.
Today Utah decided to become an ice rink. Walking to and from different classes was the most entertaining thing of my life. Even being yelled at by a formidable man in a trench coat for walking on an unsalted piece of sidewalk was comical.
The university thought to send out an email out warning us about the severe conditions. However I didn't get the email until 10:00 tonight while everyone else received it in the morning. I'm glad technology works so well for me. Hopefully when a real disaster hits I will get important emails like this one real quick since they are so helpful. The email went a little something like this, "This morning's freezing rain has created very slippery conditions on parts of campus. Please use caution as you make your way to and from classes." ..... I would've appreciated an email much more that went a little something like this, "Since people are tripping, getting hurt, and essentially looking like idiots every five seconds... class has been cancelled."

Just a Few Thoughts
What do I desire? To love and be loved by everyone. That….. is one very difficult, heart wrenching, beautiful, trying, happy, depressing, and exhilarating task. I can’t make someone love me. And to truly love someone takes more effort than I feel I have sometimes. There are those that are easy to love. Because they love me back and it is apparent in their every word and action. And then there are those that do not love me back, and if they do it is nowhere close to apparent. But I want to love everyone. The Savior did and I am to follow His example. The only feasible way to do this that I can see is to continually become more like the Savior. As this occurs I will be able to find a true, heavenly love for every person. Every single person. What a beautiful picture that is. And one I never want to forget.
