Quotes, plus some other thoughts.

So I've been told to update my blog more often...I promise I think about it. I just don't do it. Haha.

So tonight one of my very dearest friends is getting set apart for his mission, and I just realized that I didn't get his address...and now it's too late to talk to him! This will be the 48th missionary that I write to...because I will get his address somehow. Haha. It's kind of an obsession I have...writing missionaries. This is a random side note.

Anyway, apparently when I signed up for my phone plan, I also signed up for a daily quote message, because I've been getting them every day. And some of them are actually pretty sweet, so I want to document them and I figured why not on my blog, since this is a great place to document random thoughts. So here they are:
