Some Thoughts From Something Inside My Cranial Cavity

Lately I have been missing pageant A LOT. Like my heart would just ache whenever I even heard the word 'hill' haha. I would automatically think of the pageant.

So the other day I was going through some of my stuff and I found the note that Brother & Sister Gonda (our housing parents, I guess you would call them) gave us on the last day of pageant. In Sister Gonda's note was a scripture, which made me feel so good about my time at the pageant.

"Behold I say unto you, how grreat reason have we to rejoice; for could we have supposed when we started that God would have granted unto us such great blessings?... we have been made instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work.  Blessed be the name of our God; let us sing to his praise...for he doth work righteousness forever." (Alma 26:1-8)

I was so luck to have been part of the Pageant, and I will treasure my time there for the rest of my life!!

Okay now onto other things.

This summer I have realized two things that I want to write about:

Money is not  that important. I have always felt like I needed to have a lot of money, like large amounts when I grow up. But this past year at school and this summer I realized that I can live on so little and still be happy. Seriously, as long as our needs are met and I have a happy family, husband, and comfortable jeans on I will be fine! I just want to be happy!

This is speaking of the future by the way, the very very distant future. Realizing this has made me more excited than nervous about my future. Weird, but that's just how it is!

I have learned how valuable good friendships are. And how you need different types of friendships! You have those friends who agree with you, and are always encouraging you, even if you are wrong, or being dumb and irrational. Sometimes you need those friends!

Then there are those friends who bring you back to reality. Sometimes it really STINKS to have reality thrown in your face, but sometimes you need it so you don't go babblilng your psycho ideas to other people.I love friends I can laugh with about anything. l love sitting there and laughing my guts out, throwing jokes at each other. Such a good time!

Anyways this past weekend I went to IDAHO!! It was a grand weekend. I had to go home to speak in my home ward : / Lovely. I think it went okay except I went over like 3 minutes! I could have died.

Kellan Riggs homecoming was also on Sunday! Kellan has been one of my dearest friends since High School and I am excited he is home so we can be real life friends again! His talk was awesome, he loved his mission SO much. I think it's awesome these young men go out and teach the gospel for two years! How crazy. And they love it! I really admire all those handsome young men.

So Monday night we went to the pier and chewed gumballs! We each had four, and it was disgusting. Each gumball had 11 grams of sugar. After we were done chewing we spit them into the River! How exciting.  I loved being with my friends this weekend, they are fun, hott, and exciting. And I always miss them when I leave :(

Anyway this was kind of a random post but it's all good.
