Hey there friends! So today's post is just for funsies, because I feel a little bad that I'm not completely consistent when it comes to blogging. So...here is a little insight to my awesome weekend!
First of all I got to go home for the 3 day weekend! My ride left Thursday afternoon (which meant I TOTALLY skipped my Friday classes. I don't really feel too bad because I never skipped any classes last semester so I thought I could get away with it this one time).
Friday I worked at home for grocery money-thank you mom!-and got a lot of stuff done! THEN I got to meet up with the Immies and we had an India night! Curry and mangoes and Bollywood music! Oh SO fun! And of course we stayed up until the wee hours of the night gabbing and talking. SO MUCH FUN!
Saturday Tuima went through the Provo Temple for herself and her grandpa was the officiator. Dilly and I were able to attend. It was SO neat to see her beaming from ear to ear after wards! Congrats Tuima!
Later that evening my family went to see the Young Ambassador's performance at BYU-Provo. It was charming. One special guest blew me out of the water with his rendition of Les Miserable's Bring Him Home. As he came on stage I kind of slumped back in my chair and thought, "Geez. I have already heard this song 10,000 times already." Then he began to sing. Halfway into the song I noticed I had teardrops on my hands and realized I was crying. He sang with such emotion! I just sat there, in awe and shock as I continued to cry through the rest of the song. His music touched my soul and left a lasting impression. It completely blew me away.
Sunday found me at a mission companion's homecoming talk-Sister Allgaier-. It was GREAT to see her again! She looked awesome and did such a good job! There were two other sisters from THE Mission there. (The Texas Houston East Mission-THE mission of the church! Bwa-ha ha!) Sister Olsen and Sister Hill (now known as Sister Davis). It was so good to see past friends from Texas and be reminded yet again that I really did serve a mission. Sometimes it all seems just like a dream.
Monday came all too soon and I had to return back to school. I crammed all my homework into those few hours before bedtime (because honestly, who does homework over a holiday?) and slept like a rock.
Tuesday I was ready to get back to school until I suddenly lost my breakfast 15 minutes before I was heading out the door. Back to bed for me, where I watched Chuck and Heroes until I got a pounding migraine. It just wasn't my day. I thankfully feel better today, but I'm still being careful with my migraine. It's lurking.
Anyway, like I said, this post is just for fun. I'll try to come up with something a little more enlightening for next time. Keep smiling everyone. Life is good!
