whelmed. still over it.

why is my life so great right now, honestly?

dancing was bliss.
these girls are hilarious- so fun.

and then, hows about a 3 for 3 sunday?
sitting next to some of my most favorite people in the world,
(i.e. parentals, sister, tom & gail earl...)
those ones that never cease to inspire me with their optimism through all the mud,
a girl can't help but sob a few hours thinking of how seriouslysoblessed life is.
a cathartic day already...

oh- and happy super bowl day!
(aka "the-only-day-for-many-that-we-will-all-pretend-to-care-about-NFL")

ps. uncle tom, you can come play with me anytime you want.
you make my heart happy.
and we are praying for you...

tom leaned over after the meeting and asked,
"you wouldn't happen to have 3.5 million dollars would you?"
i about wet my new dress...

Happy Sabbath Ron!

Why is today already such a fanfreakintastic day?

Well, maybe it is because the high councilman that spoke was completely hilarious and random. I took notes for you that missed out:

"I would like to issue a challenge to those of you who think you know something about the gospel... which would be the brethren..."

"I was in Mexico last week, and it felt like a reception line— meeting 100 people I will never see again— and we really didn't care about each other.... so lets care about each other!"

"I couldn't go to the devotional last week because I was in a hole in Mexico looking for dead people."

(about his 19-yr-old at home) "...he is trying his hardest to be as useless a possible..."

(about his 31-yr-old) "...we are still trying to give him a spinal transplant to ask one of the girls out that God keeps sending his way."

"I thought I would take a high-risk option in closing my talk"

"I hope that you all can find your spine and ask each other out and get married. Amen."

My inner monologue: Did that just happen? Yes, yes I think it did.


On a sadder note, I guess they decided that 16 months is a long time to have a calling and so they released me. I taught for the last time... oh well- I guess I can make it ;)
