Lot's of great goodness!

So it's crazy sometimes when you step back and kind of reevaluate things in life. But it sure can do you a lot of great goodness in your life, especially if it's as crazy as mine! For instance my trip to Idaho created in me a desire to take more advantage of what I do have and not try to just put more into my life. I am beginning to see how beneficial this can be to oneself. :) I had such a wonderful experience in Idaho and I was able to spend it with a wonderful family for the majority of the time. They welcomed me with warm hearts and loving arms!! Also I was able to trek to Idaho Falls and see the temple. One with which I have just fallen in love with since attending for the first time last summer. It had begun to snow when we got there and it made it that much more beautiful. I look forward to seeing it again next month!!

Wes and I were going to go for the whole Where's Waldo thing but I just wasn't diggin it no more. So now I got an excuse to wear my grill!!

I have such a desire to share the gospel and just the other day I met a guy who I invited to learn and he's been honestly interested and has a desire :) I love it-he's been a light in my life!! I am grateful for how the Lord blesses us and sometimes without any ryhme or reason he does it! How great is that? I know i'm way lame for saying that but actually no I'm not I just am really happy!

Roadtrip!!

Oh my holy cow really now?! I can't believe it but I went to Idaho!! I know right? Who does that when first you don't even attend school up there and secondly you never did!! But ha I did it anyways and now I remember why I don't miss college that much or even at all. I haven't the slightest clue as to how I was ever able to stay up past 11 and justify it. I hardly stay up past 1030 and even than I'm already in bed just reading or something lame like that. So I honestly don't understand how when I told my sisters roomies and friends I was heading to bed they all gasped; well it was only 930 but com'n people I was tired!!! If I'm going to take time to get work off and travel I'm going to take advantage of getting to bed early and waking up early without having to go INTO work. I LOVE it! Also how do they live off of "hmm i'm hungry so let's make a pan full of brownies and scarf it down for dinner" motto? I mean maybe it looks good on blog but no not really. And then ah I know we should make some pizza in the oven to wash the brownies down with while we invite every girlfriend we know (who's not out with their boy-toys) to come over and veg with us!! Seriously people I love being able to NOT go do these kinds of things. I enjoy being able to avoid it actually. So than I have some absolutely amazing friends that attend school up in this undisclosed area of Idaho in the middle of nowhere and I found it so hard to believe that since I was there for I don't know five days they all felt the need to tell me they wanted to see me every day. Weird, right? Well so I actually tried to do that and allow it and yeah it was fun I never got sick of them they always were like "wow that two hour lunch to [insert name of food joint here] was great but I gotta hit the books now Steph. But hey let's say in two hours we hit the road and take a trip to the mall?! (which I should mention is not even in the same vicinity so it is a road trip) Okay great pick you up then!" So no time to even say oh sure i'd love to or nah actually I'm good. Gotta love college eh? OH and then let's talk about the freezing cold. I swear I was actually screaming when I arrived and got out of the car. Let's just say I was NOT pleased with the bitter cold. But then I warmed up to the idea and feel in love and now I want to move there. People please is there some kind of AA but maybe we can call it IAA (idahoian addicts anoymous) I think that's what I need. Because I'm heading back in another few weeks and I wouldn't be surprised if I all of a sudden feel the need to go sign a contract somewhere. Anyways all in all it was a great weekend. And then last but not least I loved meeting the Porter famdeezy!! But that's another story within itself so I'll save that for another day! Loves!
