The beginning of the week came and went and here I am on Saturday night sitting in the living room with two of my roommates. We don't always get times like this. I had a lot to do this week and have a lot to do in the following week.
This week it started with church. Always a good place for me to start my week. And after that time I got some homework done ahead of time (which rarely happens) and cooked roommate dinner! And I made tater tot casserole, thanks to Debbie's recipe! So yummy, I ate leftovers for a couple different meals. As the week went on I was finding myself in a bit of a daze. And you know what, not each week is perfect and my week got turned around into a good one! I did the things I needed to this week and God answered prayers.
Thursday was Valentine's Day. "Extra" holiday's just aren't my thing. Not that I don't celebrate them, but I get a little frustrated with the fact that there are days devoted to loving people. Why can't we love on people everyday?! Or if I want to do something special for someone why not do it when that person is least expecting it. It should be more of an appreciation of everyday for that person. That is my little rant on it.
Yesterday I went to math class, then to the library and scanned a bunch of papers. Little bit of a frustrating job because I was on a Mac and didn't understand how to use it. But I finally survived that. I went and saw Safe Haven finally! So yeah, I loved it! I really want to watch it again and can not wait till it comes out on DVD, then to the cheap bin so I can buy it :) Later Friday night I went to Kelsey's to do some math homework. Well whenever I get together with her and Jamie a lot gets done ;). It was nice to hang out. I had a really good long talk with Kelsey which put me home late, but it was way worth it! Love to see how God works in peoples lives and can talk to people about how he is working in mine. It was time to have that "good" cry and am still waiting for the rest. Eventually it will come.
Today, I worked on my third art project for class. It is due Monday so I wanted to get it done so I didn't have to worry about it any more. I ended up really liking how it looked. Not perfect and hopefully will stand up for the Professor, but either way I am proud of it. In that time I watch A Goofy Movie, Harry Potter 3, and Angels in the Outfield. All great movies and I don't get a lot of time to sit and watch movies. I am pretty sure the paint started getting to my head and am glad that is done for today.
The end of my week has come and a new one begins tomorrow. (Yes my week starts on Sunday)! I am so so so excited for this week. I finally have quizzes in my classes, those I am not excited for, but that is ok. In my education class we are working in an elementary school for a few hours, and I am waiting for another week to sign up for classes. But this week I get to focus on the fact that life is good. What is there really to complain about. Overall I am healthy, have loved ones in my life, have food on my table (or usually just in the fridge) a nice warm bed to sleep in and good books to read. I am more then content with life and others should be too. We have so much more then other people. My roommate showed me a video that I will one day figure out how to post, but it opens you eyes. The things we say, complain about and consume our minds with is nothing in the big picture. Be thankful for what you have and that we get so much. This upcoming weekend I get to go to Washington Family Ranch and serve middle school students with a friend and friends from back home. Man am I looking forward to that. Kids get to hear the gospel and I get quality time with people. Thank you Jesus for who you are and what you stand for. You stand for love and so much more!
This week was mostly thoughts going on in my head. Know that what I think is crazy stuff and I am ok with that. Also know that you are loved and deserve so much for yourself. Be content with the state you are in because things could always be so much worse. I pray everyone had a great week and this week to come will be filled with many blessing and amazing opportunities!
Random exciting fact for the week, my Grandma got married! Go Grandma. Miss you lots and hope to see you sometime soon :)
Love you guys!

Here is my sweet motif I did for class. It is not in the right position, but you can at least take a look!
