good 'ol sunday.
i truly look forward to sundays.
time to unwind, relax and prepare to wind back up again.
church was lovely. my sunday school teacher is awesome and does so well at teaching us each week! today we talked about grace. the ability to receive strength and assistance. i love that! i love knowing i have my savior there to help me in all things, and that when i do fall short, he is there. i love the boost i get each sunday and the feeling of the spirit when i am there.
today i am feeling especially grateful.
my brother landy got his mission call in the mail and will be opening it in ONE HOUR!
ah.
if any of you know landy, you know how truly great of a missionary he will make. i am beyond proud of him and his decision to do so. its crazy to think in just an hour, a new road in his life will begin.
i've been pondering a lot today about him and missions in general. i admire his patience as he has waited for the time until he was ready to go. i'm so lucky to have had him as my older brother growing up. assuming he will leave this summer, we will be out on our missions at the same time& be getting home around the same time! how exciting huh?
golly the future is sooo exciting!
anyways-
yesterday was a party! actually everyday is really a party!
but yesterday dallin, braden, emma, jake and i all headed down to kaysville to watch
The Cronies (a super rad band from our school) compete in battle of the bands! THEY WON so holler to them! it was way fun and we headed down to farmington station after and that was a party cuz shopping- yay.
i also had this lovely burger with grilled pineapple and i felt like i was eating at kuiaina on the north shore- it made me really happy. i also had some delish pineapple for lunch and went hot tubbing in my pineapple swimsuit so that was awesome.
emily's parents were out of town so i slept over two nights in a row. the first night we were supposed to read fifty-five pages from our history book, so thats kinda the main reason i slept over, but that didn't happen. so we just had fun. then friday we went to a school event and it was a color festival! golly gee that was a PARTY, even if i thought i was going to suffocate from inhaling all the chalk. still fun. after, emily, katie (emilys sister) and i headed to first dam. its this little dam at the opening of logan canyon. other people were there to jump in and get the chalk outta our hair, noses and ears! side note- the water is all snow runoff from the mountains so you can imagine how cold it was. i got peer pressured by my friend jake into jumping off the bridge...so we did (sorry parentals). it was darn cold, but soooo fun wow. after freezing our bums off, emily katie and i headed back to their house, showered off more and ate pizza. then we just plopped down on the couch and had fun and talked while some other friends came and went. then i slept over again and we fell asleep watching the cheetah girls. lolol.
also i have an awful case of senioritis... and its probably not a good idea that I'm taking four college classes. at least i have seminary to balance me out! ps my sem class rocks& brother heywood is so rad!
ok well i probably have more of my boring and uneventful life to write about, but its 7:13 and landy is supposed to open his call at 8 SO I GOTTAH GO AHHH!!!!!!!!!!
also! I'm going to junior prom with my good pal eyan! don't know if i mentioned that or not but super stoked!!
OH PS-

AND ILL MAKE SURE AND POST WHERE LANDY IS HEADED FOR TWO YEARS!! AHHH wajgpoweGHPOwhrjh!!!!!!!!!
