Monday, Blessed Monday!

I love Mondays...I always have some reason to rejoice and be wicked happy!!!  Since May 4, 2010, Monday has always been email day....in the mission it was Pday, and even when Pday was moved, Monday was still email day....so that was wonderful.  Since I got home from the mission, Monday is still email day, because I get emails from some friends who are still in the mission, which makes it basically the highlight of my email week! :)  Mondays are also a chance to begin a new week on a clean slate, and my weeks are always full of goals and high hopes and Mondays give me a renewed motivation to work hard.  This week I've got a couple tests to take, which I am actually excited about...tests mean we are making progress in the semester!!!!

I'm flying, high as a kite, and and floating on happiness!!!!!!!  I sure do love Mondays!

On another note, this Monday is actually a bittersweet Monday.  I've had all the usual highs of a Monday, but also, it is January 23, which makes me think more than usual about Stanford Larsen.  Michael commented last night that today marks 5 years since he passed away, and this morning I received John Larsen's email about this.  I want everyone out there to know....5 years may seem like a long time, though at the same time feels like the blink of an eye.  Stanford Larsen marked and changed my life, and will always be a part of my life as my hero, someone I still look up to.  I have never before nor since met someone like him.  So on this day, January 23 2012, Stanford, you are still being remembered, and I know it's not just by me, but by thousands of lives you touched!

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

The end of an era

So in about an hour and a half, I'll take my last final at BYU until after my mission! Exciting! Bittersweet. This week has had a lot of ups and downs already. It's never easy saying goodbye, but it's harder knowing I won't just come back in September and see everyone again. Today was my last day on the job at Heritage Halls. Thursday will be my last day on the job at BYUB. Tiff and James both leave tomorrow, and Hilary and Courtney both left today. Alex left yesterday, so...after tomorrow I need to find people to play with that I don't normally play with. Oh well. On Sunday, I went over to Courtney's and Hilary's place, and we had a last hurrah before Steph left for home on Monday. She goes to Jerusalem next week! Saturday evening, I went to Salt Lake and met up with Emma Koller there, one of my good friends that I met at EFY when I was 14, and haven't seen her since...4 or 5 years ago! So it was awesome to see her and meet her boyfriend! ...
