today i was briskly walking to work when something on the ground stole my attention. people often write chalk announcements of events on the ground, so it didn't take me too much by surprise, but i do usually stop to read them. this one, however was a bit different. spread in front of me was a scripture found in D&C, something about turning unto the Lord and He will lift your burdens. this made me smile. as i continued down the sidewalk, i ran into at least 4 more scriptures, written on the sidewalk, just like that. for the gloomy monday this was, it was definitely something i needed to see. so, thanks, random people that wrote chalk scriptures on the ground today!
yesterday it was simply gorgeous outside! really gave me hope that spring just might, maybe finally be on its way :) kellen, melissa, and i spent the afternoon on a lovely walk, then in the backyard playing football. it made my day to see so many people out walking, biking, throwing baseballs, and reading on the lawn. i heart spring! best season of the year. plus, the ducks in the creepy canal are back, and make my day, everyday.
extreme sports night tonight was a smashing success! props to christian, melinda, renae, michon, christian, andrew, andrew, brett, and mallorie! it was a pleasure working with all of you! go big or go home, foo.
last week was kind of a bummer, what, with reality about everything settling in... but last night was happy and gave me hope that things aren't as bad as they seem and are definitely going to get better, which was something that was pretty uncertain for the past month. turns out when a heart breaks, it don't break even, just like that song by the script says. but one miraculous thing about relationships is that after you've been through so much with a person, even when that person all the sudden seems to want nothing to do with you, there are glimpses of hope, like yesterday, that someday things really will be the way they were, but pleasantly different. and i really believe that's just how it will be. daddy always says "time heals" and "this too shall pass" and i believe him now more than ever. . .
who knew getting mail from sister missionaries could be just as exciting as mail from elders? love you, liska, em, and sar!
jake plays the piano like a master! jon can improv like a master! last night was so great... i really miss playing piano everyday! thanks for reminding me, guys, let's do that again sometime :)
tomorrow night coleman is playing in concerto night! i'm so proud of you, lil bro, even though you'll never read this... ha ha. but seriously. i look up to you in so many ways! (literally and figuratively). wish i could be there! <3
this blog post is so long because i've been lacking lately, apologies.
lately, like, everyday, i always look at the clock or at my phone right at 11:11. coincidence? i think not.
the other day when kara, rebecca, melissa k and i went to panda, melissa k ate half of her fortune. does that mean it will only come half true?! (she was really upset about this.)
i've decided life is no fun with nothing to countdown till. so, here you go. my new countdowns. cali and one of my favorite holidays - 2 days. conference - 5 days. FRUITCAKE in happy valley - 11 days. glee - 15 days. #21 birthday and end of school - 37 days. katie's wedding - 81 days. venture - 82 days. LEAP - 137 days.
the new LEAP promo video made me cry today. 137 days can't come soon enough... except that'll mean summer is over, so it can take its time... but seriously. missin' the LEAP fam hardcore still! and to think alex will be out of here in just one month breaks my heart!
i've been to provo way too many times for my quota this year. but alas, 2 more to go before the years out. woot woot happy valley extravaganzas!
our fridge smells like onions WAY bad... and it's reminding me of freshman year when katie put onions in our little fridge and our butter and everything else always tasted like onions the rest of the year. oh yeah, and she tried to remedy the onion smell by putting a freshener in the fridge, but that just made it all taste like raspberry goodness... nasty. miss you, katie!
finally saw "princess and the frog" this week. ahhdorable.
alright. this is getting ridiculously lengthy. so i shall shut up. stoked for second spring break, even if i do have to fly alll alonnne :D see you in disneyland, famdamily!
