Joys

My insides and I are battling again.  But, I don't want to dwell on it.  Because that just makes me weepy.  So, instead, I am going to come up with my joys instead.

  • I went and visited my dear friend Robin today, who I visit teach.  Which really means that I get to be best friends with her because someone asked me to.  Seriously, I am addicted to visiting teaching...it is a joy that I cannot get over.  Ah I love it!!
  • Manicures by sweet ladies.  I went and got a manicure a couple weeks ago over by Smiths here in Provo.  The ladies there were just darling and made me realize that I have so much in my life.  That I have so much to be grateful for and that I am fabulous.  Seriously, love them.
  • Swimming with my sisters.  I went to Seven Peaks on Saturday with a few of my sisters.  By the end we were all kind of cranky and the like.  But boy oh boy did we have a blast.  I got to giggle and be silly and just...be joyful.  And get sunburned...oops.
  • Talking to Miss Abigail Lauren Holt.  She is a life changer and I don't know what I would do without her.  She just fills my heart with joy and reminds me that I can conquer all.
  • Lovely friends in my P-town ward who just...bring joy.  Seriously, just seeing them is joyful.  Being around them fills my heart to the brim with joy.
  • Escaping in a good book.  Oh, so good.
hmmm...that's all for now.  I'll think of more another day I bet.

it has been too long.

You guys, I am sorry.  I really am. I feel connected to you in some way.  I get all excited when you read my blog.  And then I go and let you down by not actually blogging. My bad, guys, my bad. I still don't know what I am doing with my life.  No, scratch that.  I know that I am graduating sometime in the next year.  Now I just need to find full time employment so that I can pay for said semesters, for housing, for "The Cranberry" as Psych so inspired me to call my car. Oh, life.  Sometimes I wish that you had a pause button.  So that I could go on more Sunday Springtime Frolics through the meadows of life.  So that I could write on my blog more.  So that I could be a better friend, roommate, sister, and daughter. But, you don't.  It's like...crappy that you don't.  Life keeps moving forward.  People keep moving on.  And I am left here wondering what I am going to do next. Fortunately, there is music. ...

My Gethsemane

Yesterday was an oh-so-sickly day for me.  My and my stomach waged an epic war which left me laying in my bed for most of the morning and wishing I understood more about why this whole gastroparesis thing (or as I like to call it sometimes, Goob Jr., but I'll explain that more another day) is happening to me. Then i had to put on my grin and bear it face and go to a class that I knew that I just could not miss.  And then haul my sorry sickly body to my favorite place in the world, Divine Comedy rehearsal.  These people just make my life so much more awesome.  And so, I went feeling so gross but knowing that they needed me there with all the props that I had in my car. And somehow I survived. Today, I woke up.  And surprisingly felt much better.  And then I went to my all time favorite class and got to learn more about this talk right here.  And I remembered the way I felt when I first heard this talk, sitting in a lonely LDS chapel in Virginia ...

It is the little things

This has been an exhausting weekend.  Springhaven=joy.  Springhaven=exhaustion.  Springhaven=not going to bed until 4am. I love my DC peeps. In other news, I am so grateful for some very inspired friends who have been there for me this week.  Just so in tune to what I needed this week, whether it was a movie night with three different kinds of ice cream, or home teachers who just knew that drop by visits were what I needed this week.  I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for my Father in Heaven and the inspiration that He gives to others to help me out in my life.  Thanks friends. Watch for some big changes in my future.  Like, big.  We'll see what happens, but I am hoping for some new and exciting opportunities to start coming my way soonish.  :) Also, I love sweatshirt weather. And leg warmers on Sundays. And hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls and halloween costumes. Man, I should sleep more.  Then you poor soul...
