My Cuddling Weekend

Yes, I cuddled lots this weekend. Although you may think that it was with a boy, I will tell you that it was with my best friend who is not a boy. We had a fun filled weekend of laughter, bonding, swimming, not sleeping, and talking. Let me start with the beginning, I went with some friends and we went to my best friends house in Rexburg, ID. When me and my friends ( I don't care about the grammar) get together we are loud. We are loud and we know it. We ended up talking late that night. The next day we went to the lava hot springs. I have never been there, but It was a blast. The sign said 50% chance of rain and that there were was no refund. It did end up raining, but we waited until the rain ended. It is funny how small things can make you so happy. They had these high platforms, slides and rock climbing wall. They had lots of "fancy" toys, but our favorite toy was this floating turtle. We played lots of games on this turtle including: how many people can we fit on the turtle, how long can you stay on the turtle as we spin it and do "illegal" things on the turtle and try to avoid the lifeguard. We had a blast playing these games. Also, when it was raining, we had to wait for a while. While we were waiting, we ate food and played loud group games. It was funny to see people's reactions to us. Some would laugh and some would be annoyed. My best friend's mom said that "we are making memories" as we waited in the rain. Why, yes we were making memories.

The next day, we went to church and visited the BYUI campus. The campus is beautiful. It always has been really pretty to me, but the construction is done. The quad was done and the outdoor ampitheatre was finished as well. I do love the BYUI campus as it is beautiful and warm. You can definitely feel the spirit just by walking on the campus. Each building is dedicated by the prophet, so we can be guided by the spirit as we learn academically. I love the feeling of walking around campus. I had a great conversation with my grandpa. Sometimes, I worry about graduating and not having a sure plan. He told me that I should enjoy this time while I am young. It was really good to just talk to him and gain a new perspective about facing my fears with the future. I love talking with my grandpa. He always reassures my fears. Later on, I hung out with my best friend's family. We played horse on the basketball court. We later went to my grandpa's and played games way too late. We passed the point where we were making sense. So, that was my weekend. A fun roadtrip, lots of friends, food, wonderful memories and laughter all are included in my fabulous weekend in Rexburg.

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
