Some weeks .. end with Sunday.

This week was very, very hard for me. I seemed to have a lot of trials, and most all of them were my fault. Which did not help make me feel better about them. But, then, I was very blessed with a very wonderful Sunday. Can I just say, I love Sundays? I really do. I think they're my favorite day of the week. Yesterday was an especially great one!

It started off with church, of course. I am one of the most blessed girls I know. One of my huge blessings is my ward. The ward we live in is so full of love, it chokes me up at times. The lessons were great, just what I needed and I felt the renewed sense of motivation to be better this week than I was this past one.

Then, I came home and spent time with my family. My family is another one of those huge blessings I have. It was wonderful to be with them for that time.

I had an appointment with the stake president as well. I am finished with my papers now! All I have to do now is ... wait. Hopefully not for too long. But the meeting with President Baer was wonderful. He taught me a lot about the scriptures and church history that I didn't know before and I felt light as air coming out of his office.

And then, I had a date. It was actually the first date that I had planned (as opposed to just being asked out) since my break up with Ben. I was so excited all week for it! And, it proved to be as great as I was hoping it would be. The people there were so great, all of them, and we had a BLAST. We just goofed off basically the whole time. We went to my grandparent's basement, where we had dinner, played games, made brownies (hooray!) and watched the Joseph Smith movie. We really had so much fun. I haven't been on a date that fun for a very long time.

We're cute. These girls, they're just my best friends at work. They're crazy. I'm not kidding. But I love them anyways. 

Poor Ashley got pushed over and fell off her chair. Hahaha. 

Aaaaww. 

Sometimes, Quinn just likes to sit on people. And Taylor, apparently.

Here we are, just chilling on the floor.

This picture. Oh my. 

We're just being fat. From all the brownies. Of course.

When I got home, I sat down to email Jeremy and it was late enough that he was on!! And I got to talk to my cousin. That was probably the best blessing of the whole day. I sure miss him, but he is doing wonderful things in Finland and soon, I'll be out too. That thought fills me with so much excitement! 

I love my family, I love Jeremy. I am so grateful for all the wonderful people the Lord has blessed me with, and for the Gospel. This week was hard, but it ended with a most beautiful Sunday. My heart is full.
