Yesterday

Oh my goodness yesterday was amazing! Why you may ask . . . I can't pinpoint one reason because it was just a REALLY good day - which Tuesdays are my least favorite school days but not yesterday. Here are some things that contributed to my day:

1. We made aspirin in O-chem and things went relatively well.
2. I had a whisper conversation with my friend Alex as we passed each other on campus
3. I ran into Cyri and we got lunch and had a walk in between my firs two classes
4. I went on a walk through the cemetery with my friend Michelle
5. Physics lab was a hoot because Michelle is my partner and stuff just happened - at one point we were talking about phi (fee fi) and I just had to say fo fum. So great.
6. I didn't have any further obligations and it was a beautiful fall day.

7. I drank Gossner's milk several times
8. I went grocery shopping with Alaura and Amy at Maceys
9. We got internet again! AND in the process visited the relatives of our landlord trying to find our landlord's house - yes a great mistake.
10. It was just a GREATLY STUPENDOUS DAY!

I love my life!

I feel like it has been forever since I have posted! Wow life is crazy! Today I had two mid-terms: Culinary Basics and Physics. I had to know how to cook each type and cut of meat as well as a bunch of things about gravity, drag forces, and simple harmonic oscillation. It was hard and intense and the minutes walking to my Physics test I really just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. Now it's over and all I can hope for is an ok score or better. My friend Cyri sent me the talk cited below to read and I found this:

"The solutions to life's problems are always gospel solutions. Not only are the answers found in Christ, but so is the power, the gift, the bestowal, the miracle of giving and receiving those answers."

-Jefferey R Holland "How Do I Love Thee"
They did a Mormon Messages with it that you can check out here.

Also today I want to share this because it looks hilarious and I am excited. Enjoy!

My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee

Some songs are just REALLY beautiful and touching. I remember when this fireside happened and I love this song and the talk. Enjoy and have a great day.

Follow the prophet . . .s

Oh how I LOVE General Conference!

I love getting to hear from the amazing men that lead the church and the women that lead too.

I love getting answers to prayers and direction through the direction and counsel they give!

I love all these men: Every single one! They speak the truth and are truly called of God.

One more reason

I love POST-IT notes.

Last night my old roommate and best friends Kyle and Tiffany came up for an Ag banquet and dropped by to grab the tickets I had picked up for them earlier in the month. Sadly this meant a hello and a goodbye but lots of good hugs. I got to see them one more time that night when they stopped by the apartment where I was upstairs for a party and they said goodbye. It was super sad to only see them for like three minutes total but it was definitely better than no time at all.

So I said goodbye to them with tears and hugs and then I said goodbye to the party. When I walked into my bedroom there were post-its on my wall with memories and just words of joy ALL over! It made me cry again but it was so HAPPY! :) Happy notes are my favorite.

Cloudy with a Chance . . .

Today it rained and SNOWED - yup in September and after it was done snowing (none stayed on the ground)it was SUPER cold! Anyway this weather reminded me that last Friday night I went on a blind date with my friend Amy so the guy that asked her could bring a friend . . . Anyway it was all good because we got ice cream and then watched . . .

which I was unsure of how I felt about it from the previews but it was super cute and funny and in 3D (I am not a fan of this but LOVED it) So I would give a movie review but I am off work now! :) SO there was a picture . . . look up the previews - know that it's better than those and if you go ENJOY! :)

Gratitude

Just a word but one that has a profound impact on lives: yours and the person you tell. Today this was posted by a friend on facebook. I thought that it's pretty good AND should not only apply to those men and women serving our country but also to those who impact life daily.

Thank You!
