Monday was Presidents Day which meant no school!
..But I still had work.
I went a few hours earlier than normal and they had me help Heidi with the older kids. Let me tell ya, life with the 5-9 year olds is COMPLETELY different than life with my 1-3 year olds. We walked over to the gym on the W&L campus and they played around. There was a little girl named Claire who was sitting by herself on the side. That was totally me in school, so I went and sat down next to her. She told me all about her life and it was the cutest :) One of my favorite quotes, "I eat at Wendy's a lot especially with my dad because he cannot cook."
The worst part? Having to read a book that was all about a little boy that learns to whistle... it made me self conscious. No matter how much I practice I still cannot whistle.
I think one of the cutest parts were my little children smiling and waving and calling to me from their lower playground to the upper playground I was on. Oh man. My children are cute!
I have been fighting a sickness for a few weeks now. It was pretty bad when I was in Utah and then it kind of went away, but Tuesday night it came back strong. I went with Sarah to the end of the Mens Volleyball game and then assumed my library position to study for hours.
I have really enjoyed going to the library almost every night this semester. Except when days like Wednesday night happen. Everyone in the world was at the library! I finally escaped to one of my favorite places on campus. It was nice and quiet and warm. I finally walked home around 11pm and ran into John John so we sat and talked for a while. Again, our weather has been so nice that it wasn't cold even at 11pm.
Sometimes you don't see Sarah...and something happened that you NEED to tell her. So you blow up her phone.
It was 74 degrees on Thursday! We were HOT. Like...complaining that it was hot. HAHA! Studying outside is one of the best things ever!
I got back from work and after dinner I made Sarah set up her hammock so we could night hammock for 20 minutes till my meeting. Than 20 minutes after my meeting until I had to go to a choir rehearsal. It was some of the greatest 40 minutes of my life.
One thing that I really like to do is edit essays. Sometimes I feel like I can't edit or even form a complete thought when it comes to writing my own papers, but I like reading and helping others! Especially when its in a google doc and you can type messages to each other.
The Library is a crazy place! And this is Charles.
Some of my friends have a hammocking spot. I walked out of class and laid in the empty hammock. :) So delightful!
Also, THIS.
Friday was our choir concert. And I completely failed at taking one picture... I don't think i've ever done that before. It turned out well though! It was Dr. Carters last concert that she will conduct before she retires. It was emotional for a lot of the choir members and the audience. Hopefully we did all the music justice!
The weekend was filled with a lacrosse game, studying, hanging out. Nothing too exciting.
Sunday was absolutely crazy! It was Ward Conference. I was in the church building from 7:30am-3:30pm. I had ward conference, church, 2 stake meetings, and 8 individual meetings with girls. It was busy but I was so empowered by the strength of women all day.
We have to make decisions in this life and sometimes, I think usually, they are hard decisions and decisions that might not be what you were expecting. But God has a plan. And goodness and righteousness bring about goodness and righteousness. So I can't see what the future holds. But what I can see and hold on to is hope.
Its so not easy. I think trusting in the Lord is one of the greatest challenges in this life. I want to know what is next and I want control of my situations, and that is just not how life works. We need to learn to trust and keep going. By doing that we place ourselves in God's hands and are ready for his will. But when we talk about this we cannot separate it from Agency. God knows our desires and he will never take away our choices. Thats why we do have to make decisions everyday. And sometimes you have a decision that is going to effect another person and maybe their decision is opposite of what you think your decision is. But clarity will come. We just have to keep going.
