Pretty good Sunday

Today has been a pretty good Sunday! I finally slept well, as many of you know I've been terribly sick for just over a month. So, to sleep well is a blessing! In our Sacrament meeting today, we had a sister who is leaving on a mission to Colorado Springs, on Wednesday. She had the sweetest disposition while sharing her love for the Lord. Today was actually the first Sunday since being in this new ward that I felt confident and comfortable. It's most likely, because my second mom, Lois, was there to do a special musical number, our neighbors were there that I've never seen at church, and mom and I got sustained in new callings. I get to teach primary, again, just to the age younger than I had in the old ward. I'm excited, but miss my kids so much! We then went to a homecoming in our old ward, and he was so soft spoken, but so in tune. It was great!

I've been working on a project that a company that I interviewed with gave me. They want to see what I can do. It's been a while since I have actually hand drafted, so it's been a sort of a challenge. I had to remind myself that I really could do it, by looking at old projects. Now that I've had some energy to do it, I have totally enjoyed it!

Once I'm totally done with this project, I'll scan it and post it!

Today I was at work listening to the girls talking about how mothers are supposed to be the person that always supports a child and has faith in them, but how they seem to be the ones that are the least supportive. I was sad to hear this, and at the same time grateful that my mom wasn't like that. Of course, my mom wasn't one of those that gave you false hope. She's always been so supportive, down to earth, and knows the right time to give you reality checks. I'm so lucky!

I really enjoyed the article in August 2008's Ensign, Love, Limits, and Latitude. I suggest everyone check it out.

I was talking to my cute grandma today, and we were talking about how sad it is that everyone always is sure to talk about all of the sadness in the world, dwell on the sadness. How often do people call to tell someone something that has happened, that's been wonderful? Unless it's an occassion like a wedding or a baby, people rarely do it. Except for my brother, Collin. He's so cute to call to say that Everett is tall enough that he can flush the toilet or that Ford saw a picture of Nancy Pelosi and said, "She's scary!" (I completely agree with that statement!)

Heavenly Father put us on this earth to be tested and to be happy and joyous! We need to share that and live for the happiness. Granted everyone has trials, that was the plan, as well! It's how we get through those trials, the optimism rather than the pessimism. Smile, laugh, it's a great time of life!

I've decided that I could share bits and pieces of the going ons of my life. I live in Layton, I work in Salt Lake. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't know where I'd be without that in my life! I'm a daughter of a great mother, whom I hope to be like, when I grow up. I'm, also, the daughter of a great man, whom I hope that I can live worthy to be with him in the eternities and know him well, since I was only with him until he passed away when I was seven.
