My Simple, Happy, Beautiful Life

I have interacted with kids more than people my age sometimes in the last couple of months. I love kids. They really do say the funniest things. The one thing I don't like about working with kids is their inability to  not cough at you. They love to touch you and share your germs with you.  But, nonetheless, they are adorable. So, I will tell you some of my funny conversations I have had with children. Me (after seeing a kid crying): What's wrong? Boy: I am sad. Me: Why? Boy: My girlfriend just broke up with me (he is 4 years old, how do you even have a boyfriend/girlfriend?) Me: Do you want a hug? Boy: Yeah ( I give him a hug). She is right there. She moved on and likes another boy. Me: I am sorry. Boy: She only likes him for his lego shirt. So, lesson learned...sometimes lego shirts are the way to go when you are trying to catch someone's eye? Another conversation, Boy 1: Do you have any allergies? Me: Yes, I am allergic to some fruit.  Boy 1: Are you...

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 ...
