Deep Roots are Not Reached by the Frost

I can't go to bed. Why? Too lazy to get up and wash my face and brush my teeth. Can't sleep with an oily face and unbrushed teeth. I can't go to bed.

I drove the stick shift today. And. I. Didn't. Stall. Once. :) Take that world.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amazed. This week has been....haha, shall we say, so exciting. I've been on a hyper streak or something. I don't know. It's just really hard to not be happy and laugh at myself every half hour. Glory in the beauty around you. Life can't get much better if you do that. Let things glide down your back. Life will be lighter to carry. Smile at people when you're walking around. Life will become grander! Laugh at little mistakes you make. Life becomes happier. Be spontaneous! Life will be so much more exciting! I was myself this week, and the moods and words of others had little effect on how I saw and acted in my world. And guess what? Life. Is. Wonderful. Serve and you'll be blessed. The Lord blesses those who sacrifice time for His children so long as they put Him first.

I haven't really been looking for good, wonderful blessings in my life recently so I've felt like nothing has been really good. Tonight I almost collapsed and died, but right before I did I remembered I have to go home and do homework. So then I cried a little teeny tiny bit, forced myself to stop because there was no reason to cry, then held my head high, marched home, took deep breaths, then calmed down. Did you know that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the ability to fully use all 5 of my senses? He's also blessed me with endurance to get through a few hours at a time. And the ability to think rationally. And the opportunity to learn about the world around me. And a job that can help me financially in the future. As well as parents who taught me how to use money (for the most part). And dedication to others. They come before me (usually....) And patient supervisors and managers. And a warm place to live. And happy people to surround me. And an open mind to see and...

This one is short, but I thought it was time to post another one so here it is. Talking about how children either look somewhat like their parents or not at all like their parents..... Morgan: I don't want my kids looking like my husband. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morgan and I were at my Aunt's house, taking care of her dogs and they were kind of fighting. All of a sudden, one dog bites the other dog's leg. Morgan and I are a bit perplexed. Morgan: That's a good tactic. Me: What? Morgan: If you ever do something I don't like, I'm going to bite you on the leg. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talking about one of my textbooks..... Me: This makes me so excited!! Morgan: About your major? Me: Yeah! Morgan: What is your major now? Me: I don't know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After learning about the 4 ways we gain information (authority, reason, intuition, and sensory data) physical science: Me: Math just comes to me intuitively. ...

Last week was rather exciting because I signed a contract for housing during Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter semesters. I'm stayin' here in Provo probably until next Spring/Summer 2012 because I just want to keep going! I have a job that I should keep through the summer so I can keep getting money to pay for food. Kind of important, no? I also learned how to drive a stick-shift car that has a sticky clutch! My cousin left on his mission last week and his car needed a master, so my aunt gave it to me and Laurel. My uncle graciously spent about 3 hours teaching us how to drive it. I haven't driven it anywhere since then because I've had no reason to, but I do need to keep practicing if I'm going to become efficient with that car. It's a valuable skill to know! Also! I've registered for spring and summer classes! This spring I'll be taking 2 classes: Human Development and Greek&Roman Mythology. Human Development is for my Family Life major, and G...
