The Scottish Games

My last weekend home I was able to go to the Scottish games for the first time since 3 years. My parents where married there so every summer after that it was our family tradition to go. I loved it growing up! Tons of music, food, shopping and crazy Americans wishing they were really in Scotland. The P's and I really enjoy this band called Wicked tinkers (weird I know). Anyways we knew we couldn't miss their show so at last I was able to enjoy one of their concerts again. One thing that sucked about the games though, was not dancing. My legs yearned to move as I was watching my friends compete; I really miss dancing. Hmm it was a great weekend, and man do I already miss my mom and dad. But im sure they miss me more ;D

I lost one of my bestfriends, but to a great man.

One of my best friends got married last month( so weird to think) but hes SUCH a good guy. Heck I wonder how he's going to deal with her she can be a little (i lied ALOT) crazy. Sabrina has been a close friend of mine since I've joined the church, and I have been able to talk to her about almost everything good and bad. Although I have been her best friend forever; she found someone better (that's hard to find), that is so kind and loving to replace me. I'm so happy for her and I am so glad that I was able to be there on their big day. I wish so much happiness to them. "while marriage is difficult, and discordant and frustrated marriages are common, yet real, lasting happiness is possible, and marriage can be more an exultant ecstasy than the human mind can conceive.

I live for projects

So being in school its kinda hard to have projects and be crafty but since I've been home I've been making up for it. My parents just moved to a bigger apartment (hello guest bedroom!) so there walls look bare. You would think they have no kids or something. so.... since my mom knows I have an obsession with photo collages she gave me the project. HECK YES! I'm sure she passed it to me so she wouldn't have to but hey, ill take it. Anyways, I finished this beauty today and will be working on the rest of the hallway after all the wedding mumbo jumbo. The home life is good, why did I even leave to go to college? Oh ya! to get "Tmart"

This New Journey

I have been home for a day and a have and man has it been GREAT! I seriously have missed this California sun!!!!! (and the P's of course!) Today I got an e-mail from my bishop WOOHOO and my papers are officially opened!!!!!!! I really can't believe this is happening. I have seriously been so emotional all day, on the verge of crying over the stupidest things. story time: Earlier I was petting willie (my cute pooch) and I was thinking "man he is like the best dog EVER". I swear there was like a little montage of the years we had him and then my eyes got watery... One word...PATHETIC I have been keeping my composure though because my mom thinks I am a pansy. She called me emotional (hmm...ill show you!)

Sweet Serendipity

This weekend i was able to visit my brothers for Easter. It was seriously so fun and so relaxing. One thing i hate about visiting them is I realize how much I have missed them when I am with them. I tend to get a little sappy, giving lots of hugs and kisses. Can i just say that my brothers are seriously wonderful. Actually my family in general is just wonderful. My parents have seriously raised us to love each other and to be there for support. Its crazy looking at life and thinking how grown up we are. I think back and wonder how it is we got here? I am so grateful for my family and how much I have been blessed.

Temple Marriage

"If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by." In my developmental psychology class we have been talking about divorce and one thing my teacher share with us was this.
