HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I love you!

I found a little friend on the way to breakfast.

On this episode of "The Adorableness of Children":

"The sun is tickling me today."

"I went fish picking!"

"My water well broke when I went to the beach. It hurt my feelings."

"Can you pretend your a dog?"

"You can take a nap! Its been a lucky day!"

"Would you like to come to my house on Christmas Day?"

I LOVE THEM

Here is Kaylee's little hello. This is what you get for leaving your phone at the table while you go get food.

Tuesday was a very important day. Flash Season Three Started. The dilemma came when I realized I wouldn't be able to stream it till Wednesday. So I called Will and Camille and the skyped me in to watch the first episode. It was so worth it!

My life at Montessori consists of children and mulch. Mulch is everywhere!

This made my day.

This year is the first time we have an actual men's volleyball team. They had a scrimmage game against a team that was essentially a D1 school. They won every set! I was sitting in the seats right on the court and it was a party! A new tradition started at our sporting events. Two words. Animal Onesies. It is hilarious. We have 4 cows running around giving the teams volleyballs, giraffes and other animals cheering in the crowd. Its super entertaining.

Opera Roanoke puts on quite a bit of shows. Turns out that students get in free. Our main music professor was one of the leads in South Pacific. A ton of SVU students decided to go support him! It was a fun adventure in the car, consisting of a lot of dancing to Camp Rock.

The show was.... good.... Its an interesting show in general. The orchestra sounded awesome and so did Professor Hansen. But overall, not my favorite.

Saturday was temple day!!!!! AHH! Sarah and I left bright and early and drove to DC. I love the temple. It amazes me how the world just stops, as it should when you are in the Lord's house.

We walked around the visitors center and there is a statue of Christ when he is resurrected. I stared at the wounds in his hands and feet and I was so grateful. I was so grateful for my Savior and what he did for me. I loved that peace I felt and all I wanted to do was crawl in a ball at Christ's feet and live and relish in that peace. That's when I realized I can do that. Christ is calling to me, and to all of us, to come and feel his peace and to come to him and be strengthened and healed at his feet.

We went to Cafe Rio, Old Navy, and the Garfields house. Three of my favorite places! It was a much needed adventure.
