Day 204: Striking my funny bone

I pushed the button. No sabotage ensued, unfortunately. It's been a crazy, busy, full and wonderful day! Mom gets here in an hour!!!! :) 

Day 203: I am so little, but I'm not small

These are situated all over the hospital to prevent accidents and traffic jams. I love them. They have helped me a time or two or eighteen. 

Day 202: Volleyball time!

Sunset pictures never do them justice. Especially one snapped from my iPhone camera while walking, but it is important nevertheless to take time to enjoy beautiful things. 

Day 201: Together Again

Christie came to snuggle with me before they left for church today. I love this woman. I think I'm coming out of my slump! I need to feel better and my mantra has been "I wanna get better" spending time with lots of good friends throughout the day today really helped. 

Day 200: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

This little slice of heaven was all I needed to believe in life again. I had a heart to heart with Heavenly Father on the way to Abby's moms funeral and I feel so much better. I can do this, it'll be fine! This life is a gift and I'm so thankful to be able to use mine. I hope I can bless others as much as I've been blessed. Grandma Michele loves me all the time and we spent the afternoon together in this magical place. I love that woman with all my heart. 

Day 199: The poor quality is maddening

Distraction is the key. If you don't think about the problems do the cease being so? 

Writing to Elder Milstead (Christopher) was wonderful and terrible. I am loved, I just miss those that love me most fervently. Dear Devon, 10 months feels like forever. 

Day 198: Biscuits.

Mycahs new nickname for me is wearing off on some of the other staff. It's going to be a fun long while. I love my job! 

Day 197: I grow where I land

Out of place? No problem. Stubborn? You betcha. This flower is me. 

Day 196: In light of recent events

I love these women. I'll never understand their facination with this place though. Cracker Barrel again. 

Day 195: After the gym there is only the water tower

Day 194: In the stillness

I played for the first time in a long long while, it's beautiful and a suffering art. I want to get better, that's my mantra these days. 

Day 193: Apricots aplenty

Today we picked apricots. A "butt-ton" if you will. 

Day 192: the fam.

Here mom, this is how you use your smart phone :) what a fun evening with the women of my family! 

Day 191: Boys.

This is the lovely Mary Lyman and myself :) completely drenched and loving life at Janine's Soccer game! The things friends do is astounding to me. The date went well, he's not the one though. 

Day 190: He's a Mexi-Can! Dear Briggham, I miss you

Jess in the break room with the Mexi-Can! :) we have so much fun at work :) institute was fun and I got to chat with Kirsta for a good long while. She's such a sweetheart. I'm thankful she's my visiting Teachee :) The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the kingdom of God on earth! To learn more visit Mormon.org, trust me, you'll want to learn more. 

Day 189: friends know.

This interaction made the picture of the day because how could it not? Asian invasion is a real thing. Also visiting teaching is fun! 

Day 188: The National Parks

We don't ask why, we just sing along and enjoy :) these musicians are amazing. I hope to one day inspire someone the way they inspire me. Also, I love running into divine comedy members around town. 

Day 187: Bromance. Nothing really gay about it.

Complete with the precious look at each other. I love it. So manly. That's Golden on the right and Landon his roommate on the left. So so much love. It was a day of ups and downs, but mostly ups :) going to bed feeling accomplished and loved and cared for. What I learned in church and life today, Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives. 

Day 186: A house! A house! My kingdom for a house!

This is going to be our house!! I got to be with this fantastic and wonderful lady most of the day today and I just love her to pieces! And this will be our house!!! :) newly renovated, in my price range, washer and dryer, close to campus, plenty of parking, storage, porch-ish, brand new inside :) 

Day 185: 'Merica!

Traditions are alive and well. We made breakfast and watched Independence Day and took naps and made dinner and hiked above rock canyon park to watch fireworks. It has been a glorious day and I love this lady a lot! 

Day 184: my favorite day of the year

The day where utahns gather in mass quantities to await the freedom festival parade that goes all through Provo. I drove up and down that road many times laughing all the while today. I just love the atmosphere and the fact that after I've enjoyed it I can go home to my nice warm bed and sleep. 

Day 183: falling in love as he's walking away

I have friends. I even have some who offer to take me home when I am very alone. I have some who invite me to things and others whose homes I stop by on my way home and even some who I chat with on line for hours into the evening. Friends come from all over and when I move in with Christie then she moves out to get married I will still have her as a friend and make other friends. It's going to be a great time! 

Day 182: hawd things

Working out is hawd. Looking for housing is hawd. Being friends with Christie is not :)
