Happenings

God is good! In the right place at the right time today. Just what I needed, and I hope it helped.
Loved seeing Susie at Smith's today. Made me happy. :D

Recent(ish) happenings in the land of Provo:

I love Bishop and Sister Nelson!!!!!

With much regret, finally retired my trusty backpack this semester. It served Sister Lehmann her entire mission, she then bequeathed it to me, it served me my whole mission, then I came home and it served me for nearly 2 years for school. With a broken zipper, tearing at the top, and holes in the bottom, I reluctantly consented to buy a new one. Bought the same brand. 

 Kerry Sjoberg, my wee little Scottish companion came to visit in August!!! Had a party! Soooo good to see her and meet her family.

Blue skies and rolling clouds

First live BYU game EVER! Actually, first college football game EVER! BYU vs. Hawaii. Won 47-0. Booyah! Probably won't go to another game...unless a cute boy is paying. Too long and too stop and go. Soccer & basketball are more my thing. BUT I loved going with Cathryn!!!! We danced, ate kettle corn, drank juice (which we snuck in), ran into a couple friends (Holli, Hannah & smiley baby), and enjoyed the bike ride there and back.

We found Waldo!!! We also found Jesus! Seriously, we found the actor playing Jesus in the New Testament films!!! Long hair, beard, t-shirt & jeans. Wanted to take a picture, but decided against it. So we got a pic with Waldo instead.

Pretty much my favorite thing!!!!

 Double rainbow. Healing.

Rain

Rode my bike home in the rain today. It's refreshing to see the world get washed clean again. Sometimes I need that feeling in my life.

Bicycles and Life

 

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving."

-Albert Einstein

This is how I feel sometimes about my life!!! It can definitely be a balancing act, and sometimes I don't know how I' can do everything that needs to be done!

Sometimes...

"Solitude" by Helenka Wierzbicki

Sometimes life feels very lonely. I have lots of great friends, interests, responsibilities, roommates....but sometimes no matter how full my day is, no matter how many friends I've seen, I come home at the end of the day and feel alone. I feel a little bit guilty about feeling that way, because I really have no right or reason to, but sometimes I do. Life just rolls on by, and sometimes I feel small and insignificant. Yeah sure, I would be missed if I wasn't here--for a little while. But then life would continue on and people would move on quickly filling the empty space I once filled with other things....
I guess everyone moves on...
But sometimes it makes me sad. Especially when they're still here in body but they've built a wall around themselves and I don't know how to get back in.
They say time heals all things. But it doesn't always make it better the way you imagine, want, or hope.
Well, tomorrow is a new day for me to try again.

Time for a really cheesy, crappy movie and hot chocolate!!!! If only Kim were here to enjoy with me... :)
