School's for fools

 Summer school was made to be a punishment. 

A punishment to those kids that the teachers didn't like (or so I always thought in my naive days). 

Now I am in summer school. This feels like a punishment. 

In Utah, the weather is beautiful right now. 

(I'm sure in a day or two the snow will come back. I have trust issues with Utah weather, I am still skeptical that its going to have an angry moment and change my beautiful blue skies to gray frigid snow)

But in the past few days, the sun has been shining on my soul. It has been shining enough to melt my frozen blood vessels! I honestly haven't said "I'm cold" in 2 weeks! 

This weather makes the birds sing "oh how lovely is the morning" to me.

 I see flowers blooming, practically right before my eyes.

 I see couples being twitter-pated and getting engaged because the heart-warming weather is confusing them for the spirit. 

(not always true, but you'd be surprised what happens on some picnic blankets around here) 

Worst/best of all is that everyday I see people buying shaved ice treats at the Hokulia (Bahama bucks of Utah) on my way to campus and I long to join them....

 But oh wait. I am being punished by my responsibility of adulthood that is driving me to graduate from college. This same adulthood responsibility somehow convinced me to sign up for classes till June. 

I might as well be in jail. 

Only 31 more days... 

  

Wishin' and Hopin'

When I was younger my siblings and I would sing a rather annoying chant during long car rides. It goes as so:

 "Ding Dong! Hi there! Wanna buy a cookiieeeeeee!?!?" 

Although I still don't understand the point of this chant, I now realize this was my first experience of door-to-door sales. 

Now Adam is doing Vivint security system sales in Arkansas. 

We have skype dates and we talk on the phone way too much, but ya. Still miss him like crazy. 

Whilst watching TV at way too late of an hour, this adorable nike commercial came on. 

I now have a huge desire to buy pink nike shoes and I'm possibly obsessed with seeing adam ASAP... 

Those in the same city as your significant other, be grateful. 

Those peeps missing someone, 

Enjoy :)

Changes

"People are always saying that change is a good thing. But all they're really saying is that something you didn't want to happen at all... has happened."

~You've Got Mail

This is a good quote of exactly how I feel recently. Lots of big changes have happened in the past few weeks and they aren't what I especially want to happen. But, I am happy because these changes are all for the best :)

First of all: new calling. 

I have been called as the Relief Society President of my ward. Ya, this is a scary calling. Two of my past roomies have been amazing relief society presidents and so I'm scared to try and fill their shoes. I know that this must've been inspired by the Lord though so I am just going to do my best and leave the rest up to him! 

Second Change: New roomies. 

They seem super awesome, But I am having withdrawals from "old roomies".

 Yeah, seriously missing Rachel and Becca. 

 Third Change: My Goo is marrying her Boo!

 Rachel Allen, My Goo, is marrying Andy the Nard-Dog. They make each other giggle and so he bought her an expensive ring and she became a girl and squealed yes. 

They are to be sealed in the temple on May 5th :)

Super happy for her, but super sad we can't have pillow talk every night..

Fourth Change: My Boo is in Arkansas... 

Adam is doing summer sales till August. Yes, 4 months... 

He has been gone for 4 days and I am already missing him like crazy.

The good news, he is going to rock at doing sales, and make bank!

The bad news, I am awfully lonely without him. 

Fifth Change: Meghan Ryan is going back to her roots..

Meghan my BFF since birth Ryan, has been called to serve in the Scotland Ireland Mission. She reports on June 27. 

Yeah, I am going to miss her so much.. can't even really talk about this one yet.  

Sixth Change: Bye Bye Becca

Becca Allen, my other ex-roomie, is going on a mission to Indianapolis, Indiana On August 1! 

So excited for her, but i'm really gonna miss her..

Seventh Change: Hello Haiti!
I am signed up to go on a service trip to Haiti In July till August. I am super excited but very nervous about this one! 


I'm kinda overwhelmed that all of these changes are happening at  once, but with change comes growth, right? 

Bring it on.
