You are never too old to have fun

Lately I have been doing some posts about my school. This one will be about my ridiculousness that has happened this last weekend.

So, this weekend was my fun, not worry about school at all weekend. It was great. Very much needed. Now I will pay for it this week as I have to do so much work. This weekend can be my catch up weekend. I had some funny moments though.

Tonight, I went to a fireside with a friend and then came home and played monopoly deal with my brother and sister in law. I hate playing games with my brother. He is the kind of person who will complain about the game if he is loosing. If he is winning, he will explain why he is winning. Once he wins, he will apologize and not mean it about how he feels so bad about us losers. Then he will drag on about how he was the winner. Who wants to be around him?

So, we are playing this game and making chicken noises. Let me explain why we are making chicken noises. I know that not many people make chicken noises while playing board games unless that is a requirement. We have a very playful relationship and he will tickle me alot. I have learned to never trust him if he wants to hug me. When he hugs me, he will trap me and then tickle me until I fall onto the ground and squeal. This is his way to show that he loves me. We were playing the game of intimidation. We would give each other looks that would scare each of us of until he started acting like a chicken. I started to act like a chicken then until we were doing various types of chicken dances. It lead to us watching a Arrested Development clip about chickens. Then we just started doing chicken noises.

Yes I am 23. Yes I can be mature at some moments but sometimes you just have to make chicken noises with your brother on a sunday night. Right? It's healthy. That is my claim. That is our strange way of bonding with each other.

My nephew also gave me a hug today. I love his hugs but today was a not so lovely hug. They like to play in the backyard, preferably naked. They play with the hose, dirt and sand. One of their favorite activities is to pull out flowers or the dirt from plants.

My nephew came over to me with his drool mixed with snot and dirt. It was gross but I accepted the hug. I got it all over my clothes but it was worth it.

These are my moments of ridiculousness this weekend. It was a good weekend. Sometimes simple is the best.

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...

Its all about me.

I am currently taking a class called LDS Perspectives and Psychology. I have a good feeling about this class. Number one, we don't have final exams. We only have papers. Number two, I love his teaching style. I just love how his main objective is to make us think instead of think only with the textbook's point of view. I think the hardest thing about teaching is encouraging students to think but giving students textbooks to think. Think outside the textbook! This teacher makes you do that. We had a good discussion about altruism in the classroom. I have always heard about altruism and thought about being 100% altruistic. Is it possible to do everything for everyone else? A lot of theorist say that you do things for yourself but have altruistic moments. Is that true? I kinda believe that. Only Christ has had the power to do everything for everyone else on this earth. Ultimately, we will become like Christ and become completely altruistic. On this earth, I don't think it is...

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 ...
