what a wonderful day...

Today was absolutly wonderful. It was great. I bought my ticket for my trip to Denver in a couple of weeks. It should be really fun. I am soo excited. I have never flown before though so that should be a little interesting, but i know that it will be great and that I am going to have an absolutly fanstastic time. I also found out some great news at work today that we are going to be taking a more proactive approach to becoming a single company. I have thought that this is something that we should have done a little while ago, but everything happens in its own time. When it is suppose to happen is when it does not a minute before. :) It was a little cold today but that is ok. It really is great. Life is looking soo good right now. We will have to see what tomorrow brings. :)

Wonderful Performance

Over the weekend I got the opportunity to go to a performance that the missionaries from the Boise, Idaho mission were putting on. It was really pretty amazing. I really was unsure that I wanted to be there after I got there but decided that I would stay around and see what it was. When I first got there it was just like Sr. Citizen date night. :) It was really great and fantastic once it got started. They were extremely talented. There were about five missionaries that just rotated through and sang and there were others that would come up and say a few words between the songs. They had some beautiful songs that they sang. The theme of the evening was: Christ The Light, the Life, and the Way. They were very creative and did a fanstatic job.

purchase

I got an iPod touch yesterday. It is pretty sweet. :)

Todays Task....

Today I am working on editing my paper for Monday. I will be so super excited to be done with school and be able to PARTY! This is the final essay that we have to write for English 102, and then all we have to do is edit the research paper and one of our choice to turn in for the final portfolio. So needless to say, I am just making this On essay so that it flows better then I will turn in and really edit it for the final portfolio. I really like my topics but just have the hardest times sitting down and writing papers on it. I guess that I have such a hard time because of the simple fact that I want everything to be perfect and I just constantly worry that it isn’t perfect. I guess I should know that I have to work to have the best. I guess that everything will work out the way that it is suppose to because EVERYTHING happens for a reason.

weather

Wow the weather here is so stupid. It was so nice earlier this week, and now it is cold and nasty again. It is gross. The weather needs to get figured out. Haha :)

what a week

Thank goodness it is the weekend. Sometimes it is so wonderful to get to Friday! Like I don't know why exactly I am so glad that and tired from this week, but I am. I am really looking forward to just do some relaxing. :)

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day, saying… “I will try again tomorrow.”

Taking Hard Steps In Life

It has been an interesting weekend so far. Well actually I guess it is more, an interesting day. I learned a very valuable lesson today. It is something that I thought I have known for a long time, but it really set in today and this quote lines it out wonderfully.

Walk by faith NOT by sight

Today we did a service for a 16 year old young man that suddenly passed away. I have known his sister since i think like 7th grade. He also played football with my brother. It has been extremely hard thing for them as a family, as it would be. They do not know for sure what the cause of death is which makes it even harder on them. The medical examiner has ruled out many things that it was not, but that doesn't really help.

Anyway, as I mentioned, the service today and I really learned some wonderful lessons from the speakers and those who participated today. Overal the lesson that I feel was being taught today was that we truly walk by faith, NOT by sight. It is hard to accept that a child has died. It really is a hard thing for families to go through. In my time working in the funeral home I have always known this and have learned in every service. Sometimes there are just services that really reaffirm in my mind and heart it.

I really liked the quote that the family put on the folder. I guess it is something that the young man really and honestly lived by. It is:

Live each day as if it is a gift, not a free ride.

I really liked it as well. It is something that we all as a human population needs to learn and impliment in our lives. We need to take the time to enjoy every moment that we are given because we really don't know how much time we have left to live.
