after a 5 day weekend, i'm back to work tomorrow. you know how i know i like my job? let me explain. do you remember in high school or college (idk, maybe you're still in high school or college) but after a three day weekend or a vacation of some sort, you DREADED going back to classes. you didn't get all our homework done because you were too busy doing all sorts of rad things with your break. well. i dont have that feeling of dread or un-easy-ness in the pit of my stomach. i'm ready to wake up (at a decent hour) and go to work! and yes, i work at a school, and no, i DONT have homework! how rad is that!? yeah. i love it! school holidays.. minus the homework. heaven! (if only i could work an extra 20 hours a week and get benefits this job would be perfect.)
alright, enough about how much i love my job. Today was such a weird sunday to me! i have never. in my LIFE had church as late as 3:30 in the afternoon. but today, i did! the Bountiful YSA stake conference was today. and boy was it AMAZING. i loved the talks. i loved the spirit. i LOVED that they didn't focus solely on marriage. i loved the motivation to be a better person, to do my visiting teaching, to go ask bishop (and maybe marcia) for a calling, and to try harder to do my daily prayer and scripture study.
the two girls sitting next to me were talking and laughing the whole time. and i am SO proud of myself, because i didn't even get upset! it was more difficult for me to feel the spirit because i couldn't concentrate very well. but during the intermediate hymn when we stood up and i told them that their talking and laughing was a distraction to those sitting around them. they laughed at me, but i did what i could. and i don't think they shut up anymore, but i was able to concentrate better and glean a ton from conference.
since we didn't have church till 3:30 i had an amazingly lazy morning. i woke up early this morning with a migraine. i fell back asleep and woke up with just a headache. and that headache has stayed around all day. as a wise man always tells me "tylenol doesn't do anything" and it didn't for me today. but i did take a nice relaxing shower. i straightened my hair! i painted my toes and fingers. looking at my toes, i feel like a middle schooler. i painted them green and blue (because i couldn't decide on a color) and then put white crackle over them. they look rad. i painted my fingers yellow. and i just took it off. i'm having a hard time with color on my fingers *gasp* i blame 8 months of working at the hospital for that. and then we went to stake conference.
after conference we had a party at the house! OH i almost convinced tony to come to stake conference (to meet girls of course :-P) but he decided he'd rather go to an FHE activity instead or something. so he can talk to people. BUT tony, zac, and wyatt all came to dinner tonight! and erics friend came over too. we had a FULL house. it was great. i loved having so much of my family there. it's such a blessing to be sitting at a table full of people. I loved being able to see two of my brothers in the same room with me. i can't wait till i can see my sister at thanksgiving.
we played a couple rounds of Canasta (sorry i'm a terrible partner Ash!) and no, canasta is not an old person game. it is wicked AWESOME. one day.. i'm gonna be partners with sid. and i'll win. haha
OH remember the Canvas i told you about?
i'm sorry it's backward. and i'm sorry i look terrible. it was pj's and no makeup time. the quote says
"face trouble with courage,
disappointment
with
cheerfulness
and triumph
with humility."
it's by president Monson. and i love it. it's sitting on my speakers in my bathroom. to motivate me to be courageous, cheerful, and humble. <3
FHE tomorrow night. at the Crooks house? i have no idea where that is. and liz has to work. i hope i can still go though. and i'm day late on my running, i was due to run today. but it's the sabbath. guess tomorrow will have to work.
alright world. i'm updating/adding a few songs to my blog playlist. but i need to get going to sleep. lets all pray this headache that's morphing into a migraine will go away while i sleep. AND lets pray i find my waterbottle before i leave for work tomorrow.
kk. sweet dreams world.
you. are. amazing.
