Studying.

This is how I feel about studying. And the library. And college.

The Best Two Times of the Year.

So I know I’m a week late but I can’t let Conference pass by without saying something because the first week of April and October definitely qualify as two of my most favorite times of the year Ever.  Nothing beats the combination of good friends, mommy made food, and sitting on a couch for hours but not feeling guilty because you’re getting a constant stream of inspirational goodness :)

On Saturday some of my roommates, my momma, and me went downtown and watched a couple AWESOME sessions of conference and ate at the Garden.  I branched out from my usual Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken and Sundried Tomatoes and got Lasagna, which could possibly become a very memorable moment of my life.   And after Conference I had a much needed shopping trip with my roommates, along with a movie night where we watched 17 Miracles. Watch it. Love it.

So then I wake up on Sunday morning…the best feeling in the world has got to be waking up to the smell of hot pull apart rolls coming out of the oven :) And eating endless food and watching conference with my roommates and family is just exactly the sort of break any hard working college student needs (which ya know makes sense because that DEFINITELY describes me and my roommates to a tee. Ha.).  But basically laying there made me realize this thing I’m living called life is pretty great.

Also, more importantly, I had a good reminder that I am part of a REALLY neat church.  I am addicted to that incredible feeling I get every time President Monson stands up and bears his testimony of the Savior and the truthfulness of this church.  And the incredible love that I feel from the prophet and each of the apostles for me individually is something that is incomparable.  Moral of the story there is a church that is growing every day and is spreading to the every corner of the world and I get to be a part of it.  I definitely have moments sometimes where I feel small or insignificant, but remembering the immensity of the work that goes on in this church and the purpose I have here on earth just changes everything around. And THAT is why every day that I’m living now is really so beautiful and full of sunshine and love. And I really hope I can become the sort of person that doesn’t let a day pass by without being grateful for it :)
