Hello! Where did you come from?!

I always thought it was ironic when people said that a month had just snuck up on them and they didn't even see it coming and this is how it has felt with me with February.  In running to doctor appointments, going to my ultrasound, J running to class, and I running to class it has just been crazy.  I can't believe it but it is good.  January was a month full of stress and heartache and I hope sometime this year that I will be able to know what I can do to keep from being affected my petty people and snide remarks.

February came with a bang because poor mr hubbins who is never sick, is!  He has been running a fever the last two days and had a midterm tonight so it has been hard for him.  I think it is so funny that men are like little kids when they get sick and definitely need to be babied.  I know J has been more cuddly and need hugs and wants me to be everywhere he is (not that I mind because it is cute) but I feel like it prepares me all the more for motherhood :)  Oh funny mr hubbins makes me laugh!

I felt like this post was really lame so after studying I had a thought that I wanted to share.  Sometimes I have a really hard time in university because I feel like with all these professors who have this life time of knowledge about the world, they lack the most important type of knowledge that could be obtained on this earth.  One class that I had to take to get my teaching degree was a university science so I found one that didn't seem relatively boring and took it.  It is Environmental Conservation Science.  What I have found though is that my professor is really pushing everyone to accept the idea that we have evolved from monkey, and since we have brains like Apes we are allowing technology to take over and ruin the natural environment we have.  It is an interesting theory but I know it is not true.

 But in this class, we were assigned to watch a video from a professor at the UCLA who explains why societies collapse.  The professor from UCLA explained that because we live beyond our means and resources that there will come a time in a couple of decades where society will be forced to correct itself. He said this could be done in two ways, either as a society we will decide to correct our behaviour and live under our means so we will have enough to live on to correct our actions OR there will come a time where there will be wars, pestilence,  disease, and starvation.  This became an "AHA!" moment for me because it is so interesting how we have been taught in the scriptures that in the last days there will be wars, rumours of wars, and disease and pestilence will occur on the earth.  I think lots of times we think here in the Western world we will be saved because we do not have the same problems that are occurring in other parts of the world but they will.  We definitely are seeing people living beyond their means and doing everything in their power to get above and beyond anyone else.  I am just grateful to know that we have been taught what we can do to be prepared for the times that are being foretold of by the world by those who do not have the gospel background we do.  Again I think how wonderful the gospel is and am thankful that I can raise my family in protection and righteousness.
