Thanksgiving Break! Nov 19-26

Sunday was so good! All my meetings were on serving others. I felt uplifted and peaceful. It was so good! That night my friend Rachel made us dinner :) I feel so blessed for all the friends that have made me yummy food this semester. 

That night there was the YSA Face to Face with Elder Oaks and Elder Ballard. It was inspiring and funny! Take an hour and watch it!!

Monday I was thinking about this picture from two years ago. I am so grateful for Kadee and Emma. I miss them dearly!! I feel so blessed to know them and grow from them.

Tuesday I only had lab at 7am and then the rest of the day free! I came home and finished a book, took a nap, and then drove two of my friends to the airport. I took a little pit stop at Barnes and Noble and Chick-fil-a!

Also Alayna has taken up making quiche. Its delicious!

Tuesday night Sarah and Chalae stayed over because I had the house to myself. We cuddled and laughed and laughed. And Wednesday we all basically stayed in bed in my house all day. It was so relaxing! Late afternoon I drove up to DC.

Thanksgiving was so fun! There was some cuddle time, delicious food, fun company, games, and more pie than you can imagine!
 
 

"Lets go up stairs and cuddle!" Okay Davis! Clearly you can see that cuddling was the activity of the week! HAHA. What isn't pictured below is the constant laughing that was taking place. Im grateful for these two goofballs!

Also look at this pretty tree!

Friday we all went black Friday shopping. Actually we all went Thursday night too. It was exhausting but fun :)

I drove back home Friday night and cuddled with Chalae in Tara's bed. We just sat and laughed and cried and talked. We also watched a Christmas movie at 1am. #BacktoChristmas. I love her so much! 

Saturday I sat on my couch and just relaxed. It was perfect. I am very grateful for time off from work, school, and life for a minute. I had a long scripture study and journal writing session. I pondered a lot about our hearts. Hearts are truly matters of eternity. They are amazing and are the very thing that allows us to let Christ in. We must let him in. He is the only one with the power to help give us the strength to share our love and hearts with others.

Sunday we had combined meetings with all the 1pm wards. It was fun having different people. My ward was in charge and we had a great Relief Society lesson reminding us that the Lord is working wonders for us!

This quote sums up my semester. I am the biggest over thinker. I overthink even the smallest decision and it is something that I haven been working on for the past few months. I have turned to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ so much. I pray fervently, hourly. I had a rough night Sunday night. I was overthinking, and crying, and frustrated. As I pleaded to Heavenly Father I received answers and peace. I felt him near me, guiding me. I was able to go to sleep and breathe. There are so many moments everyday where I pray for peace. I hope everyone knows that if they are struggling or feel anxiety, stop and talk to God. HE is the one that can help. HE is the one that can calm and strengthen your heart. I am so grateful for prayer and to know I can talk to my Heavenly Father through his son Jesus Christ always.
