Of criminal minds marathons.

Of job offers.

Yup. They rock.

Of my Mom.

She is awesome.
She is cooler than you're mom.
She puts Nutella on a graham cracker for me and then tells me if I want more I'll have to do it my own darn self cuz she raised me to be self sufficient.
She dyes my hair.
She listens to me rant.
She lets me steal her clothes.
She supports me financially when times are hard.
She encourages me to travel and experience life.
She taught me so much about patience and hard work and perseverance and forgiveness.
She stays up late to hang out with me when I come over.
She makes me corn casserole.
She gives the best hugs ever. They could cure cancer.
She loves me.
She worries about me because she loves me... And cuz she's a worrier.
Basically she is the best ever.
And you should be jealous she isn't your mom.

Of Ryan Gosling.

Movie marathon with Sarah. Weekends don't start off much better than this!

Of beautiful snow storms.

I hate the cold but I love how beautiful the snow is and can be. Seriously gorgeous. We got around 30 cm in ten hours or so. It is ridiculously beautiful. It was stay inside and watch movies beautiful. And that is exactly what I did.

Of clean sheets.

I had free time. Enough to change and wash my sheets and take out the garbage. That's a good day.

Of endless laughter and giggling.

I have some awesome friends. They get my sense of humour. We have fun. Oh so very much fun

Of analogies.

Today in RS we were talking about being childlike. We talked about how children are small and how they grow and learn sooooo much sooooo fast. Then we moved on to discuss the parallels to the gospel in this and a thought hit me.

When a child is learning to walk it often spends more time on its face than on its feet and we are no different as we go through this life and build our testimonies and are tried. We will probably spend more time on our face than on our feet. In spite of all this there is constantly my Father there and the minute I fall on my face and begin to cry He is right there picking me up and plopping me right back on my feet (whether I want to or not) with every confidence that I will get it this time. He holds me and comforts me and puts band aids on my wounds when I fall really hard. And even more often than that when I am about to fall He is there to catch me and balance me before I hit the ground. Oh man. Love it.

Ahh!! THE CHURCH IS SO AWESOME!!!

Of friends.

I feel like I have friends and I like it. It is hard sometimes cuz I don't quite feel like I have that group of friends that I could call up and know they'd come over and hang out and we could have a jolly good time. I have friends scattered all over but they aren't connected and they're not that one group that I really wish I could have and rely on.

This weekend was really good though. I spent time with people that normally wouldn't and we bonded. And I felt loved. And comfortable. Maybe that's the difference. I haven't felt comfortable in a group for awhile. I don't know what it is that changed and I don't care. I have friends. And I am grateful for them and they made today awesome.

I have a plan.

My life has been in shambles lately. It has been killing me. I don't know what to do or how to do it. I don't know what I want to do with my life or what industry I want to be in or anything. I feel so ridiculously lost all the time. I had a breakdown and my fantastically awesome home teachers came over and gave me a blessing. I didn't tell me exactly what I should be doing step by step like I secretly hope it will every time but it was a blessing of comfort and affirmation that things will did a way to work out, that He does have a plan for me, and things are happening for a reason. At work yesterday a plan started to formulate. Doesn't mean that's what's going to happen or that it'll work out unit I am finding great comfort in at least having a direction to work towards. So, we will see.

Also, today, well yesterday truthfully, was awesome because of great friends. One old. One new. The new friend invited me out for dinner and we sat and bonded. We chatted for hours and it was great to open up to someone and have them open up to me too. It was fantastic. Then the old came over and we did makeovers and partied.

It seriously an awesome day. And ended it with cactus cut potatoes at BPs. Awwwesome.

Of late night Chinese.

Mmm.... Ginger beef.

And getting that message, note, text right when you need it.

And friends who are willing to listen to your crap.

Of super long naps.

Yup. Five hours later. Feeling awesome. Sooooooo needed.

Life kinda sucks right now and yet I am still loving it!

So, my job is falling apart and my car is 100% dead and I have to move next month. A lot of things are seriously falling apart and yet I am still just loving life. Many things could contribute to that but doesn't matter what those are. I am just grateful I'm feeling so positive. I'm just loving it! Woot!

The roadshow.

Acting and singing. I love it.

Of butterflies in my stomach.

Giddy. Excited. Butterflies.

Love them all.
