Ice Skating

It is my favorite thing to do now. I am in beginning ice skating and seriously it is amazing. I learned how to spin. I am not very good at it. The thing I am good at is stopping. I know that sounds ridiculous. It is a good skill to have in ice skating. Most people can stroke pretty well. They increase in their speed, but they can't stop so they run into the wall and hurt themselves  So, there is technique to stopping and it is difficult. But I was stroking and increasing speed and stopped without hitting the wall. This my friends, is my accomplishment for the day. I stopped without hitting a wall in the ice skating arena. I screamed with delight and had my classmates look at me weird. 

I scream at delight at weird things. I went to a free chocolate making class and was so excited to win things in the raffle. I have never won anything in a raffle and want to badly. It is one of my bucket list items for sure. They were giving away a pineapple corer and I wanted it so bad. When they didn't call my name, I sighed very loudly and people laughed. A 21 year old wanting a pineapple corer? That is ridiculous, right? Well...they are awesome and who wouldn't want one?

Well, my friends, it is officially bed time. I am exhausted. This whole being a senior thing isn't working out for going to bed early. One day I will go to bed early. and One day I will learn how to spin on the ice. It WILL happen.

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 ...
