A day of adventure.

Well let's start out with The Amazing Spiderman shall we??
Can you say dreeeamy?
I know I can.
I enjoyed seeing it with my lovely old friend from freshman year,
Kristin Groner.
She's a doll, so for any of you that attend BYU,
seek her out for a long lasting
non-superficial friendship.

 Oh one more thing about Mr. Spidey,
WHY DOES UNLCE BEN ALWAYS HAVE TO DIE????
My heart is never prepared.

The next thing on my list was to
go visit a boy
and work on my car!!

I'll tell you what really made me feel special.
When he had seven dollars to his name
and five of it was spent on my soup at
Chile's where he didn't eat anything.
The other two was spent for our
admission to the junkyard.
What a gent.

After visiting this boy,
It was off to go play with Sadie!!
Yaaaaaay!!

Now originally the plan
was to go to the Joshua Radin concert.
But things fell through.

It's ok though because when Sadie and I get
together, it's always fun and laughs no matter
what we are doing.

We bought some cute paper to work on our
"vintage friend photo albums"
Adorable right?
I thought so.

I even had time that night to watch
one of my abc family shows.

Now that's an adventure if I've ever heard of one.

Forever touched.

Yesterday I taught the lesson in relief society.
I was needless to say nervous.
There are so many older girls (there's about 50 girls in the class)
who have been on missions, or a actual teachers, etc. who are
more qualified to be teaching than me.

But when a girl came up to me after crying,
telling me how much she truly loved the lesson,
and how I am one of the best  relief society teachers
of all time, how she said it was meant to be that I had
this calling,

I can't describe the warmth that filled my heart.
The lesson was how to effectively share the Gospel.
What I mostly focussed on, was truly loving others.
 It is so important to sincerely care about the needs
and fears of others, and then find a way to reach out
and help.

When she gave me praise for my lesson,
she reached our her hand and touched my heart.

Go find someone who could use an uplift,
and find out how much you will feel lifted up.

He's back

My good friend is back!

I saw him for the first time yesterday.
I can't tell you in the slightest where things are going,
But I can tell you that I woke up with butterflies.

Smelling the roses

Today at work, things started out rough for me.
I had this lady in the drive through upset at me.
She was asking a lot of pointed questions, and my
A.D.D. was getting in the way.
I was trying so hard to work with her,
but I'd start stuttering and losing moments
in time and she was just upset.
She asked me for my name.
I looked up forgetting where I
was and muttered the worst response,
"Why?"
She was even more upset, and I had to give my name.
I really didn't want my bosses to have complaints about me.

I started feeling really upset inside,
I felt bitter and defeated.
I lost track of the big picture until...

My friend walked in
and pointed out something,
a mini miracle.

Rainbow, or a rainband
It was just a strip of
Color in the sky that
happened to be viewable
from the small window view
from inside the store.
It hadn't even rained.

This mini miracle was a comfort
from God reminding me
that he's here with me;
every step of the way.

 



 

Day 17: The Something I wish I was great at

Well, being human, there are lots of things I wish I could be greater at.

Personality wise, I wish I was better at exercising patience.

Physically, I just wish I was better in sports in general.
Or I wish I was greater at trying them out.
I'm more afraid of sports and looking silly, than actually sucking at them.
I played my very first game of soccer with friends last year after a quick
one on one session of the basics.
For having never played, I honestly wasn't terrible.
I had never tried soccer before because I was scared to try.

All in all I wish I was great at Taking Chances.

Miss Sally

So this is a few weeks late, but...







I bought a car :).
She's a 1996 Saturn.
I paid 700$.
Yes that's right only 7.
After 20 years of not knowing
what it is like to have a car of my
own, It's still pretty shocking.

I feel so blessed.
I still catch myself
walking to the passenger's side
not realizing I'm the driver.
