The week before finals is the worst week of the whole year. And this semester's last week of classes was ROUGH.
But,
I am just full of love for the people around me. I LOVE these people. I love my friends and their support and amazing ability to make me laugh till it hurts. Let me give you some examples...
Cody Rogers
I was sitting in the library attempting to study when I get this text.
Thats right folks. I got handed pizza. It was the best!
Colby, Jessica, John John, Chalae
I was studying on my own...but like I said, I have some of the greatest friends ever. So of course I moved by them when they came in.
Lucy, Mariah, Anton
These three were my pilate partners in crime. Our mats were by each other everyday! And I mean everyday. We never missed once! (Except Mariah because she was dying one day). I love them and made them take a picture with me because I was going to miss working out with them twice a week! Also congrats Lucy on your pregnancy and Mariah and Anton getting married! Love these guys!
Raspberry Moosetrack Ice Cream
Yes. This is also one of my closest friends.
Lauren, Lauren, and Kamila
These girls rock! Heavenly Father knows who needs to be called to help keep a ward going. And in this case one Lauren wasn't enough. These girls were one step ahead always. I relied on them so much and grew from their testimonies, service, and examples. Thank you for being the best presidency members EVER!
Sarah Foster
This girl is great. She is wicked talented with a camera, has grown so much spiritually, one of my residents, and great friends. We are experts in the quick rant department. Love ya Sarah!
Leilani
This girl is one of the funniest people ever. I am going to miss her and her huge smile, but she is going to be one amazing missionary! Love ya Lei!
Jessica
I have learned so much from Jess this year. I work with her and she's in my ward. She is so aware of those around her, an amazing listener, and never fails to make me smile and laugh!
These are just a handful of the amazing people here at SVU that I get to call my friends and family.
This notification pops up every night. I don't think I could tell you the last time I listened to it...
Wednesday was the lip sync battle.
Highlight: The one man Beauty and the Beast duet.
At one point I had to escape to the side of a building on campus to cram a little bit more for a test. You got to do what you got to do.
Other notable week activities:
Accolade concert and our pilates teacher taking the three of us that hadn't missed a class out to lunch where we found out we had a flat tire and had to get it fixed before we could return back to school haha!
It was the last Sunday as the 4th ward. I would be lying if I said I wasn't relieved...but it was also sad. I loved serving as Relief Society President. I feel like I could have done a lot more, but I think we always feel that way. I had an opportunity to really see the Lords work unfolding around me.
I learned that Gods work moves forward and that he is always there to help make up the difference when we are trying but come up a little short. Which we all do because we are human! I love these women. They taught and shared their testimonies endlessly.
I had the impression that I needed to write a note to every sister in my Relief Society. Even though it was an absolutely crazy week I did it! 47 notes later. Everyone is important and God knows us each individually. I loved writing those notes! They helped me think about each sister personally and how amazing they are!
"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal."
-C.S Lewis
It was an absolutely hectic week, but I loved it. I smiled and laughed. I love my life. Its amazing!
