Life's been full lately. Interesting, good, happy, sad, busy...you name it, it's probably happened or happening. I finished Winter Semester, and am in the middle of my second week of Spring Term. I made the wonderful decision to take SFL 290- Critical Inquiry and Research Methods so I can take all of my other classes in the fall. I'm taking a break from studying for our first unit exam tomorrow, and getting ready for the next one that starts Friday. This class is intense. Fun, but intense.
Anyhow. A little while back my good friend Kayla and I (I haven't come up with an alias for her yet) did a photo-shoot. So. Much. Fun!!! I loved it. Here's some of the pics......I love them all. :)
Thanks Kayla. You're the best. :)
Also, I think I have failed to introduce you to my best friend, Cupcake. (Aka...Becca.) We do pretty much everything together- talk, eat, play, study, talk, adventure, console, congratulate, talk, play...you name it. Here's us after a much needed temple visit before Finals:
Through the good times and the bad, we have each other. We even match outfits and hairdo's without planning! People say they think we could even look related. Funny thing is...we're so different, but so much the same, too. Like that song on Tarzan (You'll be in My Heart)..."we're not that different at all". I love my best friend Becca, she's helped me through SO MUCH this past semester. :)
Way back in January after FHE one night a group of us went and lit lanterns for the Chinese New Year. Oh. My. Wow. Loved it. I absolutely love Tangled, and this was amazing. And the company was fantastic, too. :)
"The Wardies"...thanks guys. :) And my lantern. Sigh.
The Lanterns marked the beginning of a remarkably wonderful and tough time. I suppose they are a representation of letting a part of me grow (and go), and making room for the next stage of learning and growing to come in. Interesting when you get what you wish for. This was at the beginning of the semester, and also the catalyst for Becca and I meeting. I'm kind of going out of order here, and skipping quite a bit, but...all you need to know is that Orem 8th Ward is the coolest Single's Ward you'll ever come across. Commander, Cupcake, "Blink", Co-chair, Zion Sis, Organ Buddy, and everyone else....thank you for the experiences we've shared. You are really the best. :)
One last thing.
For FHE (Ps. I'm a Co-Chair FHE leader. In case you didn't know.) last week we made 1,000 paper cranes.
Yes, 1,000.
That's a lot of paper cranes. That's a lot of folding, hours, and care. We started a couple weeks in advance and had 500 before that night, but still. 500 is a lot! We did it for a friend in our ward that's been very sick. We believe in the Atonement with everything we have, but it was also fun to create a "good luck wish/charm" for him to show how much we care.
The group you see are the faithful that stayed til 10:30 folding. We actually by happy chance ended up with 1,022 paper cranes, and after the efforts of some 40 people, we had this.....
Love it.
Yep. I can hardly believe how fast time is flying, and it is really flying. This has been a brief overview of some of my favorite highlights. I've started a more in-depth post probably 5 times, but I doubt those will ever surface. For now, things are going amiably. I still get lonely at times, still sometimes get frustrated, but those are being outweighed by the times of peace and joy. Also, prayers have been answered.
That's all I can say.
Love you all, I wish you the best whoever and where ever you may be. Truly. A phrase that is shared whenever we feel low (please apply to yourself):
"Chin up, princess (prince). Things'll work out. You need to have your eyes up to see what God wants you to see."
I Seek The Kingdom.
Love, Me.
