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!

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....

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 ...
