Deep Roots are Not Reached by the Frost

Today I took my roommates to the grocery store (Ger-O-SHER-EE Stor) and decided I didn't really need anything so I stayed in the car and read some text for my Family Processes class. I read this line: Families who are better able to meet goals, maintain longer and more fulfilling relationships, and meet crisis are those families who have a capacity for tolerating intimacy and individuality.

You'll get even warmer that way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of my FHE sisters, Moriah, came over late one night. I was really tired and not making much sense half the time. We were talking about being excluded from ward games going across the dorms and how we should do something to someone's kitchen....
