Back to that...again.

Well, here I am. Sitting in my apartment in Provo, enjoying my last day of freedom. Tomorrow I begin school again, except this time..it's my last fall semester here. It has been a REALLY long haul up til now, but I finally feel like it might be coming to an end. Supposedly I'll be graduating in April, but there will be a LOT of work between now and then! BUT, after graduation and one more field camp, I will be moving permanently to Brazil and I will marry the love of my life, and THAT my friends, has been a long time coming and I am more excited about that than I have been about anything in my life (and you all remember how excited I was before I went left to serve a mission!)!!!!

Yes, obviously I had to put another picture of us on here, because I think we are just so great together! :)

So since I last wrote, I moved back to Provo from my parents' house, and while I wasn't happy about it, it is something I have to do. Since being back in Provo (it's only been a few days), I got all settled into my new place, met my roommate, bought my books and got everything ready for the new semester and....not much else! I went to the Jordan River Temple for the first time on Saturday, actually, with Carli, and it was just wonderful! It was a beautiful day, a beautiful temple, and great to be there with my dear friend who is pretty much my non-blood-related sister! I'll miss her while she's on her mission, but I am so thrilled for her to go!! You North Carolinans, you will be so blessed to have her!

So, really, I have nothing terribly profound to say today. I should start thinking more deeply and maybe I will have something more interesting for all you people out there! :)

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....

Jetsetting

So once again I am blogging from somewhere new. Well, it's not really new to me...this is somewhere I've been far too many times, but I've never blogged from here! I'm in the Salt Lake airport, heading home for Christmas! And the best part...I get almost MONTH at home with my parents! I even get to spend my birthday with them! So, finals are behind me, stress is behind me, and now it's time to relax. I'm on freedom time right now, and can do whatever I want! I've got a list of miscellaneous things I want to do while at home, people I want to see, projects to finish with Mom, walls to paint with Pops, movies to watch, books to read, and obviously probably the biggest chunk of my time: lots of Skype time with Renato! It'll be nice to just relax. This last semester was all kinda of crazy with all kinda of stress in unexpected places and times. Surprisingly, it wasn't even all about school. It was a lot of learning that as much as I pl...
