I absolutely love those ordinary days, where life is good, and you are content with how things are. The days where nothing out of the ordinary happens, they are just good and normal and you don't think anything of them...until that one moment...when something special happens....and from then on your ordinary good day turns into a spectacular memory, all in the blink of an eye. Well that is today! And I think it is fantastic. It has gone like this...I got up and went to my first class and then left after about 5 minutes cause I didn't feel great and I just wanted to sleep...so I did. I went and took a nap and then got up and went to my second class. After that I went to one of my education classes where I had to share a slightly embarrassing essay I had written about a very good friend of mine (the essay was on your most important learning experience) in response to which I was surprisingly met with love and support and it just made me feel good. Next I went to my last class of the day and I left a little early to go to the LDS Temple to do baptisms for the dead with a good friend, which I love doing!:) After that I went up to campus to workout in the field house. I rode the bus like usual, got my id scanned like usual, had trouble with the first bike I tried to use (sadly, like usual haha) and then settled in for a nice ride on the bike. On the bus I had called my Mom to talk to my little brother and she didn't answer so I left her a message. So I am just sitting on my bike listening to music on my phone when the music stops and it starts to ring. I had just called my mom so I thought it was her but when I grabbed my phone and looked down, it was my very good friend (the one from the paper...)! He doesn't live here anymore and he doesn't call me ever so I was almost nervous when I answered, but it was great! He had just received his call to serve a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and he was calling to tell me where he was going to serve for the next two years. I couldn't contain my excitement! And I have been grinning like a fool ever since! I know he is going to be an amazing missionary and I am just so dang excited for him, and all the adventures that he is going to have! Anyways we talked for a few minutes about it and somethings and then he had to go cause he had other people to call, but it didn't even bother me. DAY OFFICIALLY MADE!!!
Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday". Someday when I have more money, or
