Lucky I'm in love with my best friend!

Sometimes I really think I'm the luckiest girl alive. But actually, that's a word I don't like... I am so blessed! Haha it may sound molly-mormon-ish, but it's true. In January 2011, I met someone who would change my life forever, though I never in my wildest dreams imagined that back then.

At a baptismal interview of some of my investigators in Suzano, I met my district leader's new companion, Elder R. Araújo. This is a picture from the very beginning. Who knew THAT DAY would lead to...

...this kind of happiness and love!!!!!

Renato entered my life when I least expected it, and he is now in my life and I don't plan on letting him go, ever!!! I got to go see him in Bahia, Brazil this summer, and those are 17 days I will never forget, that I spent with him and with his family.

I have so many thoughts about all this, but it's all good stuff. In short, the Lord works in mysterious ways. In talking about how we met and became friends on the mission, we realize it was all unexpected for us and yet perfectly planned on the Lord's part. And what has happened since the mission is just better and better!

And now when I think about him and talk to him, I'm like a giddy schoolgirl. :D Teehee!!!!

Só alegria!!!!

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

Rocks Rock

Every rock tells a story. Sometimes it is obvious what that story is: Over time, sediment built up and created this huge sedimentary rock. This is typical of basically all the rocks in the west. Look at the Grand Canyon for example...that's a perfect picture of sedimentary rock eroded over time and through water and such. Sometimes the story is a little harder to find, and you have you dig deeper and know some background info about that rock or rock system: In the Rocky Mountains, specifically the Wasatch range, the rocks started as sedimentary rocks. Layers built up over time. As faults formed and gave out, these layers were bent, twisted, uplifted, and changed. The layers are not horizontal anymore, and some are twisted around like this one. It takes more time to explain this than just looking at it and knowing which layer came first. Sometimes unless you know more about the type of rock, the climate, and erosion processes, you c...
