Good Things

 

Its been awhile since I've done a good things post so I think it is much over due. 

First off I'm glad to know I have tons and tons of people who care about me. I love my roommates. I love how the are determined that I will be married someday, despite what I say other wise. They want me to find somebody. I have many friends who were willing to help me out with my computer situation. Advice.

Prayer. I relish in the fact that I know I have a Heavenly Father and He wants to hear from me. And He will speak to me as well. I was able to figure out what to do with my computer situation. It was really hard, and quite frustrating to make the decision for myself.  A big decision.  Wether or not to buy a new hard drive or a new computer.  I prayed, had my mom talk to my computer engineer uncle, and talked to the Help Desk about a computer that would help my needs the best as a graphic designer. So my prayer was answered and I now have a new computer. 

I have a new computer. Yes, I choose a mac and it has been the best fit for me!

I'm getting a car soon. I'll be glad to have a car, not excited about gas prices. All I know is it'll be a Toyota of some kind. 

My FHE group is quite spectacular. I am FHE mom and that has made things interesting. But I do love my group and how my groups gets a long so well. 

My family. I love talking to them and texting them! I sure do miss them and I can't wait to visit them! And the dog of course, really miss her! 

Priesthood blessings. I got one last week and it really strengthened my testimony. It was hard enough asking some one who was not my father but just asking is hard. I hate asking. But I guess thats something important to learn that sometimes we need to ask for help. I look forward to the day to when I'm sealed to my eternal companion who is a worthy priesthood holder.  

I forgot to mention my YSA word is amazing this semester! I love it so much! I really feel included in this ward and the Bishopric is fantastic! I don't know why it's taken me this long to get in an awesome ward. 

Good Things

Besides the sad note that I have been a terrible blogger lately lots of great things have been happening. Hopefully I'll get use to the busy lifestyle I'm living. And have my camera with me more. Anyways I have been truly blessed.

So I've been writing this missionary for a good long while now and things have exciting to say the least. I've never met this missionary in real life...but I'm writing him and its kind of, sort of a long story so I won't be sharing that one anytime soon. Well today after getting back from my trip I had a written letter with a surprise. The surprise you ask...well it was Argentinean pesos. How did this boy know I loved foreign money? 

I got to go home for the weekend. Despirte feeling crummy at the start, I slowly felt better after doing homework and eating food cooked by my mother. It was just good to be home with people that love me for who I am and they let me complain about anything...well maybe they limit my number of complaints about wedding announcements. 

Haunted Mansions with the sisters. Enough said besides the awkward moment when the 15 year old tried to make a move by holding my hand. 

Mom making my favorite meal. Cube steak and mashed potatoes with gravy. Y-u-m-m-y. Mmmmm!

Working. It's such a blessing to have the ability work and to have an opportunity to work. 

The most wonderful friends that took care of me when I was sick with a mild version of the flu I'm sure. It wasn't fun. Let's say I had a steady diet of ginger ale and soda crackers. Hey I lost weight...the only good thing about being sick. 

Being sent back to school with lots of goodies. Pumpkins, apples, potatoes, and rolls. 

Good Things

Already start working. I'm so lucky to have a a job for this awkward break of seven weeks. What can I say I'm good at what I do and its really not that hard to be a scale operator. 

I found out I'll receive I nice big pell grant this coming school year which will allow me the option to stay and take classes winter semester. Huge blessing! 

My single ward bishopric back home. They are simply amazing and I'm so glad I know they love me!

I quick girls night with Josi. Complete with Sherlock Holmes and fun dip. Just like high school. Really happy she is Provo already but pretty bummed she left so early. That girl is destined for greatness. 

New clothes. What girl isn't excited about new clothes?! Really?

Olympics. I love it. Love watching it and seeing the drive of all the athletes! Gabby Douglus is super cute and I love watching her compete. And I have anew favorite swimmer Nathan Adrian. I'm starting to notice I have a thing for swimmer. They are tall, gorgeous, and have got the muscles. I can't wait for track events to start. 

My new goal. It surprised me. I am going to read the entire Book of Mormon by the time I move back up to school. I figured it out and since starting it on Tuesday I'm schedule.  Read about 6 to 7 chapters a day I'll make. I think I will. I really want to do this.

Reading Lectures on Faith. In a way its mind blowing because I never thought of faith like the book describes and yet it makes sense. Another favorite read right now is However long and hard the road by Elder Jeffery R. Holland. 

Good Things

Going home for the weekend. Family treated me like a princess. Brother picked me a rose and my father gave me a blessing. 

Seeing the first missionary in my class home. Its amazing how fast 2 years have gone by. 

Maroon 5. Got some of their new music and I love it! 

Oreo Truffles. I made them one night and my sister ate most of the truffles I brought for my family. I wish they weren't so expensive to make. 

Seeing one of my best friends Sharla. I'm glad things have worked out for that girl. Love her so much. 

Riding to Oakley and back to Rexburg with Hanna. That girl is so sweet and super honest and our discussions are hilarious. 

Life in Technicolor. Let's just say Coldplay is amazing and their music is clean and makes me feel better! Doesn't the music video make you smile!

Two weeks of the semester. I hope I survive. Its going to be crazy busy and I just want to be able to handle it in all of its glory. Don't want to shut down. 

Sleep. It does a person good!

Good Things

Getting to see Mr. Cosby! Probably one the greatest moments in my life. 

Girls night with Miss Katrea! I almost wanted to ball my eyes out during a Walk to Remember. 

Sorbet. I've become quite addicted to the stuff and I need to stop buying it! 

French music thats taking over my iPod. Really trying to submerse myself in the langue. I'm slowly getting there. Not fluent. But at least I can do greetings, give descriptions of people, count to a trillion(yes be jealous), I can say I don't know and I'm lost. Le Prince Charmant probably my favorite right now. 

I was quite okay going out in public with no makeup on. It felt refreshing. But your not getting a picture of the experience. 

I'm going home for Father's Day! I'm so ready for a visit home and be with ma famille! 

Catching myself starting to spell words in french in a text :)

Deciding to push for zero dates this semester. Trust me it is possible and no don't tell me I shouldn't think like that. I want to and you can't stop me. Don't give me that look I've made up my mind. 

Finally deciding that most guys for the most part don't mean to hurt you. They just don't know. And if they seem like jerk they really aren't. It just means they aren't meant for you but are perfect for some other girl that really needs him. 

This really isn't good but its weird. The two guys that I've kissed were both named Dallin. Bizarre I know and your wondering how that could even happen. We will save those two stories for another day and time. Which probably means never on this blog.

Talking to my mom on the phone! Some may say I call her to much but she's my best friend and I need her when no one else understands! 

Owning  up to how I feel and accepting things as they are. 

Finding out from the doctor all my thyroid levels are fine but one. Most of that is good but good grief thyroid why does one need to be low! 

And I leave you with two favorite songs write now:

cause really I want is to be free!
