Finding Hope: My Story

I realized today, after I didn't do my homework assignment in favor of taking a much needed nap, that I have a sassy walk. I do not pull this out often, mostly because most days I stumble around this campus like the sleep-deprived zombie that I am, but I do have it. It is probably the most powerful weapon in my man-catching arsenal...I learned that today. Here I was, wearing my sassy pants, and decidedly more awake and well fed than I have been in a long while, walking from work to my last class of the day.  Sassy walking, to be honest.  I was in the groove, loving the weather and knowing that nothing could get me down today. And then, out of nowhere, a BOY starts TALKING TO ME!!  This is unheard of on campus!  You do not talk to complete strangers unless you are a weirdo...but no, this was a perfectly normal boy who happened to want to flirt with me and my sassy walk.  He wants to be a pediatrician.  I want him to find me on campus again and ask me...

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...

So, once upon a time I decided that I was going to not buy pants anymore.  I had a very passionate view of how awful my body looked in my denims.  And I still stick to my guns that girls look good in skirts and should wear them more often than on Sundays. However, I have had a change of mind.  Utah gets really cold...and I need pants to keep me warm. I have had a change of heart.  One good pair of jeans really does make all the difference. And so, I have had a change of pants. Plus, now I have a good reason to wear heels on campus again...my bum looks fabulous in my new jeans with heels on!
