Good Days!

Temple Thursday! I'm pretty sure this is turning into my FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK!
Why?
 
 
1. Obviously attending the temple. Even though the amount of time you have to sacrifice stresses me out a little, I know I am being blessed!
 
Can you find my shoes???
 
2. Thursday means its almost Friday>>>The weekend!
 
On the way home we got a call from our good friend Austin.  He announced received his mission call to... Atlanta, Georgia. Good luck out there:)
 
 
When we finally got home we were greeted by the sister missionaries and joined in on their guacamole fest! YUM!
 
 
I went to yoga and struggled.  My knee hurt bad!  On the ride home I began to get discouraged thinking," I'm never going to be able to dance again."
 
Then I turned on some music, the song playing was I will rest in you by Mindy Gledhill.  Some lyrics touched me: Lord I need to know, my mind is playing games again, your right where you have always been.   
 
  
While listening, the spirit came over me and I felt the love God has for me- for all of us!  I cried in gratitude towards him.  He blesses me everyday and brings me tender mercies.
 
Ironically, as I tried to fall asleep I saw this picture of my friend with MINDY GLEDHILL after attending her concert!!! She was in Boise and I missed it.  I was and am so mad at myself:(
 
But it gets worse.  I found out she did a workshop with Fresco Arts Academy. Should've gone there when I had the chance!  So not only was she in Boise, but she was like 200 yards from me! CRAZY!
 
 
I immediately looked up her concert schedule and found out her next concert was in Idaho too.  I asked mom if Preston and I could take a road trip after school (being spontaneous) to see her concert!  She agreed as long as she could convince dad. 
 
 All day I was SO EXCITED, confident that one of my dreams was about to be fulfilled.
 
But mother, being older and wiser, researched the concert and found out I had mis-read (that seems to happened often).  I thought she was performing in Twin Falls rather than Idaho Falls, a 2 hr drive vs. a 5 hr drive.  TOO BAD:(
 
 
Last night, instead of a spontaneous road trip, it was a night of homework.  Ollie sat next to me as I read and studied, but it didn't last long because his stench was horrible.  I gave him a bath and a good blow dry^^^ (he didn't like that too much)
 
 
Scared of the blow dryer
 
                      ^^^ me
This morn mom and I went to a kick boxing class at Studio C.  I only made it through half of it before my knees started aching.  Afterwards, I couldn't help but reminisce about my dancing days.

 
Hot air balloons filled the sky today. They looked so magical!  I kept telling mom it'd be so CUTE and ROMANTIC if someone proposed in a hot air balloon!
 
- Except there's gonna be a random instructor dude there 
- And if the girl said no then your stuck:) AWKWARD...

 
 
One of many interesting things I came home to this week. Preston and Tanner^^^
 
Happy weekend!
