I love my life! I mean, I could leave it at that, but that would be unfair to all of you! :P Haha! :) I am in such a great mood! I just love this school, the people on this campus, the Gospel! I just can't get enough of it! I just love it all! Today, I walked to school and made a plethora of new friends just walking to class! :) I had fun! I have been running a lot and I have lost quite a bit of weight and I feel sooooo great! :) I don't even know how to express it. I am just sooooo happy! I just got back inside from playing in the rain with Kayla, Emily, Aaron, Rachael! :) We even ran into Lane and Megan! :) Yaahhhh trick yahhhh!! :) It was raining really hard and I was just smiling and so happy! I think it is so funny how much happier I am after it rains! :) I am always sooooo happy afterwards, during, and even when you smell it coming :) I love the rain! It just makes me feel so refreshed, clean, and man... just happy! :) When you are doing the right things, nothing else tends to matter. I don't have a boyfriend? No matter! I freaking love it! This little life of mine, I'm gonna let it shine! :) I don't really have a plan for next semester? Ain't no thawng! I know the Lord knows what I am supposed to do, and I am living on faith right now, there isn't really much else I can do! :) I have been having the best few weeks! Ever since I went to Utah for my family reunion, I feel more like myself again then I ever have in my life! :) Like serious! I have been insanely happy and nothing can get me down! Until yesterday when I got some sickness when I couldn't keep ANYTHING down! It was terrible! I put on a good face for the day tho! Yesterday was a FABULOUS day! :) Okay, I will start at the beginning of this weekend! :) This Friday, I went down to Shelley and went to my best friends, Katelyn Ovard's, bridal shower and it was sooooo much fun! :) I just love her and her fiance and her family! I think I could even claim them as my second family! Or third, since Kayla's is in there too! :P Haha! :) But, I went there and looked around her house and her backyard where the reception will be! OH MY GOSH! It is freaking GORGEOUS!!! I am really bummed I can't go to her wedding.... :( But hey! It's gonna be okay! We are going to be such great friends anyways! :) I hung out with her at her house and I went on a run! Man, I miss running out in the country! I never was really into running or anything, but it just reminds me of over that one Spud Harvest when me and Julie went jogging every night around the country block and we would haffta run far enough to run past Luke's house! :) Man, hahhaha! That was so much fun! But, after I got back from my run, it started POURING RAIN!!! As I was running down a hill to get a banner, I slid down the hill, like my own personal slip and slide :P haha! It hurt really bad, but it was tons of fun! :) Haha! :) Then, on Saturday, I came back up to Rexburg to donate plasma and stuff and then I had to run up to Island Park on an errand for my momma! It was pretty fun driving with my Christian Rock blastin' ;)! It was great! :) Then, when we got back we headed to Utah! :) We got to go see my grandparents before they left! Which they left today! :) To West Virginia! They are going to the all famous "We Are Marshall" school! :) To take over the institute program! YEAH YEAH! :) I am so blessed to have them in my life! :) They are soooooo great! :) We had fun, ate pie and turned around and came home! I got back to Rexburg around 3:30 AM! YAYY! :D I was super tired! I then woke up the next morning, and I got up and got all prettied up for the fabulous Sunday and then I started feeling super crumby! But, I still pushed forward! :) I finally went to Stake Conference, which was phenomenal! :) Then, me, Kayla, Megan, and Jake (Megan's Boy), headed down to Shelley! :) We got there with about 30 minutes to spare, so we explored Shelley, which of course only took a few minutes to see the main attractions ;) It was great! Then we went to Brooks Browning's Homecoming! Geewallacurrs! During that entire meeting, I felt the spirit SOOO strong! First, little miss Archibald gave a talk about sharing your light even though we aren't on missions! FREAK! :) I loved it soooo much! She was this cute girl and just talked about how we all can't serve missions and share the Gospel on other continents, but we CAN share our lights right here, right where we are! :) I love that! It reminds me of the quote I heard in RS about a month ago, "you might not be able to change the world, but you can change SOMEONE'S world."
:) True Doctrine my friends! :) Then, Brooks got up to talk! Wowzzaarrss! He talked about his mission, but of course, and also talked about something he learned on his mission, FLOW, Faith, Love, Obedience, and Work! But he mostly talked about Obedience and Work, but substituted Work for Sacrifice! Wow! What a great testimony of Sacrifice and Obedience! I really just loved hearing the missionary stories, as I always do, and also just hearing him bear witness of the work at hand that honestly, we can all participate in and just love the Gospel by sharing it! :)
Then, one of the high counsel men got up to speak and he talked a lot about missionary work as well, (go figure, right) ;) But it was a great talk about just loving the Gospel and sharing with the people around us! :) It was a great sacrament meeting that I wouldn't have missed for the world! :) Afterwards, I went home to be with the fam for a bit then I headed over to Kayla's. We went to her home teachers tree house, which TOTALLY reminded me of Swiss Family Robinson tree house! :) It was LEGIT! :) Hahaha! :) Then I went and slept some sickness off at Kayla's house and then we went to Brownings house with some brownies :P clever right?? :) Haha! :) It was really fun! We finally got home after riding home with Elise and it was sooooo great! :) I just love my life! :) It is so great! I am getting ready for my trip and it is going to be life changing! :) I am SOOOOOOOOOOO excited! :)
Peace out Peeps! :)
