So today I would consider excellent. I feel I got a lot done, aced a quiz and a test, had a few prayers answered and remembered how thankful I need to be. So number one part of my good day, I had terrible luck figuring out my classes and I wasn't sure how I was going to finish up my schooling by July. Everything just seemed to go wrong, then today I got a lovely email from BYU-I that said my fast grad application had been re-approved, 2 of my classes could be substituted and everything would be great. Great start to the day right?
Well, after my success with my schooling, my roommate Katie and I went on our scheduled temple adventure; just the two of us. We've been looking forward to this day for weeks and every time something has went wrong. Well today we made it and it was wonderful. I regret to say that I easily forget the the wonderful everything that attending the temple has to offer. As I let go of all my other worries I was able to focus on the Lord and worship in His house, something we both decided to make more time for.
After our lovely visit, Katie and I ventured to Idaho Falls :) Her mommy so nicely cut my hair and we ate dinner. It is so nice to have roommate's that live so close to school. I love getting out of Rexburg and spending time with families, it really is a home away from home. New do, nice dinner and girl time.
So luckily Katie also lives close to our old bishop and his wife, Bishop and Sister Neider. You know those people that you look up to and seem to love you always with a love you don't understand? Kinda like your parents or grandparents? Well....these are 2 more of my people :) We also ventured over to their house today to catch up on some life events and everything else in between. They are just great and I hope they know we miss them so.
To top off my great day, I stole the Elliott family's hymns made easy book to practice my much in need piano skills. A little bit of stress relief, some somewhat pretty noises and it is all coming together.
If only I would make as much out of all my days. I seemed to fit the important stuff into my day and really take time for the things in life that really matter. I guess that is what I wanted from this post. Hopefully it will help me remember the things that are important: The Gospel, friends, family, worship, school, trying to develop talents, and taking time for the little things. I love everything that I have and I feel so blessed and fortunate to be attending this university; blessed to have the devotionals, caring teachers, roommates and friends that are close as family and everything so close to me. I guess I just realized I need to make the most of it while I can and maybe count my blessings.
Love you Katie!
