It's the Little Things

      So I work at the Scoreboard Grill in the Cougar Eat. Today in our store it was 90 degrees. Yes, 90 degrees. At one point, my awesome co-worker Brook goes,"I just opened the freezer and it changed my life." To which I replied, "It's the little things, right?" I realized that this week has been really great, not because of anything huge, just a bunch of little things!

-The weather has been BEAUTIFUL. Like, it's been in the 60's and sunny all week long.
-My ward went snow tubing at Soldier Hollow, which probably sounds crazy after that last sentence, but it was a blast!
-I got to talk to both of my parents.
-I did really well on three midterms, and got my first 100 on a test in all of college! It was the greatest moment of my life.
-I got two e-mails from my cousin Matthew and a letter from my friend Aaron who are both serving missions!
-I made the most delicious chicken and it changed my life.
-I got to wear sundresses to school two days in a row.
-One of my classes yesterday got cancelled, and my 3 hour Thursday night class got out 40 minutes early.
Life is so good!

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?

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. In my mind, these have always been two of my most glaring weaknesses. I've always wanted to become that person who can walk into a room filled with people and make everyone feel like a best friend. 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...
