Happy Things!

Since my last blog post was a bit of a downer, I thought I'd ya know... write about some happy things that have happened recently!

-I actually got mail TWICE this week (we college kids really really love mail, we faithfully check our mailboxes every night after dinner) from my mom and my grandparents!
-Grandma called me this week to tell me that she and Grandpa are going to be here for Conference and that she wants to take Matthew and I to go see the Sunday Morning session with VIP tickets!!! That means that we are also going to get to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast!! I'm seriously SO excited! We are also gonna go to Joseph where Grandpa was raised! I am so excited to see the place where all of the amazing stories he tells actually happened! I'm super excited that they decided to come visit!
-my dad sent me beautiful flowers on Valentine's Day!
-I set a New Year's Resolution to be healthier, both with eating habits and exercising and it's going really well! I've been eating so much healthier and working out on a regular basis and I feel great!!
-signed a contract on my first ever apartment!! I'm going to be living at Liberty Square with two of my best friends, Alyssa and Kaylee! Two of our other super close friends, Sam and Mallory are living in the same complex! I can't WAIT for next year and to try out all of the recipes I've found on Pinterest!
-I TURNED IN MY MUSIC ED APPLICATION! I was so SO stressed about everything and I'm so relieved that it's done! I really could not have done it without the support of my family, friends, Mrs. Van Slyke, and above all my Heavenly Father!
-Chimichanga night is only two weeks away (I really hope Sam and Mallory read this)
-It's $5 footlong month at Subway. What more could anyone want?! My friends and I declared tonight 5 dolla footlong night since there was nothing good at the Cannon. It was quite delicious.
-We don't have classes on Monday!!

Well, time for bed since I'm getting up to go to the gym tomorrow morning! WOOHOO! Peace out homies.

A Birthday Shoutout to my Favorite Missionary Cousin!

What better way to return from my unintentional blogging hiatus, than to write a birthday blog in honor of my favorite cousin? Whenever I describe Matthew to my friends I refer to him as, "my cousin who's kind of more like my brother." In honor of his birthday, this weekend I was reading through some of our e-mails that we've written to each other while he's been on his mission and selected my top 10 favorite quotes that encapsulate ten of my favorite things about Matthew. 1. He will forever be a matchmaker.  "So a guy in my ward sent you a message on Facebook. He was going to say that he's single and looking for a girl to take to the temple. I said that would probably be a little strange." Side note: He sent it to the wrong Sarah Freeman, so I never got it.  2. He appreciates good television.  "So I've been e-mailing Michael Scott. I thought you would appreciate that he's been working in the mission office. Please think about th...

Can Weaknesses be Strengths in Disguise?

    One of my favorite scriptures from the Book of Mormon is Ether 12:27. I've loved this scripture for a long time, but this week it took on a whole new meaning for me. It reads: "And if men come unto me, I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."     I've always been a very reserved and sensitive person.

Instead, I walk into a room filled with people, and feel instantly overwhelmed. I've always wanted to be the person that can shake things off, truly embrace imperfection, and just move on. Instead, my mind goes in relentless circles...
