it's just one of those days,

 i went to the temple this morning. usually i go on wednesdays but i just was soooo tired yesterday and decided that since my early class is cancelled this week (yes!)  that i would just go on thursday. It was a slightly longer wait than usual but i won't complain because extra time in the temple is a blessing, not a burden.

as i dragged myself out of bed this morning, i couldn't fight thoughts about how excited i was to get back into it after i got home from the temple. but while i was waiting to go into the baptistry, i decided that since tuesday's devotional was talking about how the early morning is when we can receive the revelation/invigoration that we need throughout the day and therefore we should wake up and start our day as soon as possible...i should stay awake when i got home and be "productive". i made eggs and cut my finger open while trying to cut an avocado (not alvacodo like how i used to pronounce it till an unspeakable age...) to go with my toasted tortilla and eggs. OW! but now i have a princess bandaid which is a lot better than the gross rag i used after the initial slicing. i couldn't find any bandaids right away. thanks to Ashley with the magical fairy-tale bandages! holla!

but as i was driving to school, i heard that 'you're gonna miss this' song (Darius Rucker?) and almost got emotional. weird. i think i just am sentimental about the fact that i'm significantly older than the 18 year old in that song. i can still relate to her, but it's weird to think that i was 18 almost 4 years ago, that i'm past that "i wish i was old enough...blah blah" stuff, because now i AM old enough. though, i still feel kinda young in the sense that the future still seems far away. will it always feel that way? probably...

then i started to think about how i want to be a mom that is friends with her daughters and protected/loved by her sons (three boys, two girls...ideally). but realistically, i'm sure they will find me crazy, overbearing and embarrassing. but i hope that there is a chance that i can still be a 'cool' mom. (slim chance since i'm already crazy and i'm nowhere close to being a mom).

and in honor of the (almost) one year anniversary of our spring break in Cancun last year, here are a few photos.

can you tell that i'm vacation-sick?!

so i couldn't have any possible readers thinking that i don't love my dad, and that i am always lookin' as fly as i do in the previous photos (haha yeah right!
so here is a lovely gem from a night around the hotel with my dad. gotta love our sunburnt cheeks! 
(the visible ones!) 
it was just a good morning, especially because i love the sunshine! now i need to stop blogging and write  up my BFA stuff! oy!

  2. You are such a great person and wonderful daughter. I know you will also be a great mom. You have everything you need and more because you trust in god and have a strong testimony because you feed it daily. That is the most important thing to learn in this life, to stay close to god and to live the best you can. I'm so proud of you and what you have become. I love you so much!
