Quote of the Week

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Jung

Lesson for 11/23

Hey Ladies!
I'll post next week's lesson as soon as I know what it is. For the moment, all I know is that it's a Teachings for Our Times lesson. =)

Spotlight: Michelle Curtis

Michelle grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  SHe has been in the ward almost 2 1/2 years.  Wow.  She is married to Daniel Curtis and Has a 16 month old daughter, Cosette.  Michelle is studying Dietetics at BYU and will graduate in April.  Daniel will then go to graduate school and perhaps when he is done she will go to grad school also.  Her favorite foods are Bombay House and dark chocolate (the really dark stuff.)  

Michelle and Daniel grew up in the same stake but didn't really hang out until they came to BYU when one of her good guy friends from home was roommates with Daniel.  Daniel would come with her friend to hang out with her.  Eventually Daniel asked Michelle out.  Then his roommate hooked up with Michelle's roommate.  Both couples ended up getting married--roommates to roommates!

Met her husband in bowling class. Played together a few times and then discovered they were in the same BYU ward a week or so later.  She was dating another boy at the time, and had been over at Chris' apartment sharing her opinions about dating and being good friends first.  Chris and his roommate planned a double date, but Michelle thought she was being asked out as a pity date. She was really sick the day of the date, but didn't want to canceled and send the impression that she didn't want to go.  On the date, Chris thought she was having a miserable time, not knowing how sick she was.  She decided she needed to invite him for dinner the next week to make sure he knew she was still interested.  They hung out every day after that and were married a year and a half later.
