Happy Birfday James!

Yay today is James' birfday, and he's 22 and OLD. Good thing he's engaged. Or else I'd start to worry about him being the oldest person at BYU who isn't married! :p

Last night was a fireside with Elder Bednar. It was an awesome fireside, and his talk was so good! I watched it at the Belnaps', actually, which was enjoyable. They're like another family, kinda likethe Grays. Even though it was only Sister and Bro Belnap, it was still enjoyable. We watched the fireside together, then had ice cream. I also saw some of Carolee's wedding pictures from last summer...she looked so gorgeous! And I talked to her on the phone briefly, which was awesome, as I haven't talked to her in almost a year! ALso yesterday, I went to church in the Nashua 2nd ward, where Papa Gray is the Bishop now, and I don't know about half the ward. But hey,it's all good! It was really good to be back. And to see old friends. And make new ones. Life is good! I'm goign to camp with our ward in July, which I think will be fun.

Another thing about being home... I forgot about the adjustment it is to move! I started working at Hannaford again, the day after I got home, and they've given me a ton of hours...way more than I thoughut I'd have. So having that job is really a blessing. And I've got a couple options for work in the fall, too. THat's good. But yeah, the adjustment. At work, I keep seeing people who look like people I know from Utah. Then I realize that and get excited for a split second until I realize that they aren't, because I'm not in Provo anymore. Another thing is that I can't just drive 10 minutes out of Nashua and be in the middle of nowhere. I actually miss that. It never crossed my mind that I would, but I do. I was driving yesterday, just aroud town, and thinking about this, realizing that I miss the "wide open spaces"! I love the trees though. I guess you can't have it both ways. But it is a big adjustment this summer to driving from city to city in southern NH and Massachusetts, and not being out of a populated area. Tomorrow I'm going up to Laconia with Steven,though, and that's in the middle of nowhere. So that will be good I think. I will get to see Lake Winnepesaukee!!

Well, back to cleaning my room. And de-cat-ifying it.

    ok karen, it's 10:30 pm here and I just about jumped out of my seat. The first part of your blog must be a joke, because we are like family and don't know anything about any girl in James life. I was just visiting your house Monday night and didn't smell any whiff of engagements. Please tell me it was a joke! I mean, we would be happy and all for James but we'd better find out straight from the horses mouth and not via little sista's blog!

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....

Summertime is...over?!

Today is one of my last few days at my parents' house before I head back to BYU for my senior year.  The long road of college finally has a light at the end of the tunnel, and it looks reachable!  But this time next year, if all goes according to plan, I will be married and living in Brazil.  The last couple days have made me look back on my summer and think about all that has happened... So, this is going to be a long post, mostly because of pictures that are going to help me tell my summer 2013 story.  I came back to NH in April after winter semester ended, stayed for about a week and a half, and then I went to Brazil for 5 1/2 weeks.  And while I was there, some wonderful things happened..... Renato proposed to me at the Recife Temple the day I got to Brazil (the first time we'd seen each other in over 9 months), and I said yes!  So (finally) we are officially engaged and planning a wedding for July 22 2014, in Brazil! Our rings :) We ...
