Practice What You Teach

I don't really know why exactly, but I am just SO happy today! Well, I went to church which always makes me happy. Then I came home and Skyped with my mom and Amy, with a brief appearance from my dad before he had to leave to go home teaching. I then broke my fast with some leftover Cafe Rio, I mean what could be better right?! I then lay down to take a nap for the first time in ages. I had been asleep for about an hour when I was awakened by my phone ringing. It was a call from my lovely sister Jenn who had been asleep while I had been Skyping the rest of the family. So, I lay in bed and talked to Jenn for another hour. She was cracking me up by explaining to me how she was becoming a "Directioner" which is apparently the cool clique on Twitter for One Direction fans, and explained to me that Amy was copying everything about her love of One Direction. Not 20 minutes later, my dad called to tell me about an AWESOME job he had found that I should apply for and we talked fo

Well here we go. This week wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be! I had something that I've always known reconfirmed to me without the course of this week: Heavenly Father has placed some pretty amazing people in my life. I've felt so much love and support from so many people this week! My mom sent me a letter and a care package, Becky sent me a letter, Sister Hatch sent me the sweetest e-mail ever, and my friends are just plain awesome. I am so blessed! My friend Sam and my roommate Alexis and I were talking last night about how it will be so interesting to see how this setback fits into the plan that Heavenly Father has for me. Someday it will all make sense. As much as I want to understand everything right now and know exactly what my future is going to be, that's not how Heavenly Father works. So, things are improving on that front. This week I've been pretty much studying nonstop for tests. WOO. it's a blast really. This weekend I managed to sq

I'm kinda forcing myself to type this blog post, but just because the week was bad doesn't mean I should give up on my goal! Not every week can be a good one! Well I can't deny the fact that this week did have some highlights! I got to sing at Devotional on Tuesday, which was an incredible experience! We sang a gorgeous arrangement of "Come Unto Jesus!" I even got a few close-ups on BYU TV according to my mom! I'm pretty much a celebrity! :) The devotional itself was incredible, and I'm so glad that I was able to contribute to the spirit that was present there! It was an amazing experience! I also was able to go to Divine Comedy's Tech show on Wednesday night with a huge group of friends! It's free, and they give each person a ballet to rate each of their skits so that they can decide which ones to use in their performance! They were hilarious and it was so much fun! Oh my goodness. I loved it. Other positive things: the weather was GORGEOUS this w

This has been a pretty good week! After a stressful week last week, I didn't have a ton of homework which was awesome. Now I have at least one test every week for the rest of March though, WOOHOO. But not really. I'm not very excited. Such is college life... Seriously though, college is a blast, I am a HUGE fan of college, but there's no denying the fact that it is REALLY hard. I really have to work hard to get grades that I am content with it, and it's really frustrating sometimes. Nothing feels better though than studying really hard for a test, taking it, and then seeing a score on that (wretched) T.V. screen in the Testing Center that makes you so happy that you can't help but smile! So that is school in a nutshell. Good times, good times. My new healthy/nutritious lifestyle is going quite well so far! Not to toot my own horn or anything. I'm just so lucky to have my awesome friend Sam to work out with! We have the same goals, work out in similar ways (eve
