50 word "mini-saga" for Katie!

Ok Katie this is for you, this is the first one that I have made so here it is............

"What's wrong?" I said with concern. "Nothing that you or anyone else can help me with, it's something that I have to work out on my own." He said to me.
I sigh and touch his arm with concern and frustration, and wonder will he ever tare down this wall?

So there you go, and just to let y'all know that was a real conversation that I had. I will post more of the 50 word mini-sagas when I can have long time to think again!

Bring It On!

So I did go to my class like the good girl that I am and it wasn't so bad as I thought it would be. I then went to my institute class and we talked about General Conference. It was really uplifting to here what other people in my class thought of General Conference; since it was so uplifting for me. I then stopped by the nail salon to get the gel fixed on my thumb nail since it was coming off, and I went to the Distribution Center to get April Ensigns and the manual for Relief Society; since I left my other one in my sunday school class and I didn't go back to get it, so who knows if it's still at church. So I just bought me a new one!

I finally got home and I was so hungry that I made me something to eat. I had dinner with my parents for once since I had the night off Tuesday, which was nice. It was good to have a evening to do what I wanted. So I went up to the U of U institute to surprise a good friend of mine that I hadn't seen in about a month. But then I ran into a good friend from high school and we got talking about a whole bunch of things, and it was good to catch up, and I ended up sitting next to her in the institute class and I did see my other friend for like a few seconds; and I was hoping to catch her after the class to see if she wanted to get something to eat. But she called me and said that she had to leave since she was falling asleep, and wanted to get home before she fell asleep at the wheel. But then a few of the boys in my ward showed up cause they had a church ball game, and so I stayed and watched them play. I haven't watched a basketball game in while, so it was a lot of fun watching the boys play.

Ok so I am still not over this boy that I like. So I am thinking that even though it is stressing, freaking, and weirding me out a little I know that this is just one of my trails or tests that I have to go through; and so I say bring it on, let the rain come down and the waves crash on top of me; cause I know that I will come out on top standing tall and firm not matter what life throws at me; I am ready for it because I know who I am, I know what I want, I know what I stand for, I am stronger than I seem! But don't get me wrong I know I am nothing without my Heavenly Father he blesses my life so much, that even though sometimes I don't realize it, my cup is always full. I know that the Savior gave his life for us that so that we would be able to return and live with Christ and God the Father. I love Sunday's even though they are the craziest days. I love being able to attend all 3 meetings and then going home and being able to see all of my family, and I am so thankful for all the friends that I have in my life.

Running Through My Head!

I slept in on Monday which was so nice; then I went to work then again I went to the bowling alley and watched while some of my friends bowled; only 5 of us went to Dee's and so it was a good night over all. Today I have school and I really don't want to go my laziness is kicking in again about school anyway; I would just like to sleep in and just go to my institute class at noon, but I probably won't I will be a good girl and wake up and go to school like I always do. I do need to start waking up earlier so that I can be on time for school and so that I can at least have my hair done before I walk out the door. Also I have no work today so I don't really quite know what I am going to do after school and institute; I may pop in my friends institute class and surprise her cause I haven't seen her for a while. If nothing else turns up I may just go and surprise my friend.

So another thing I really like a guy friend of mine but he doesn't like me, and even though I know he doesn't like me, I still like him more than a friend and I can't shake this feeling. This has never happened to me before and it is freaking me out a little; and I don't know what to do about it. So that is why I really would like to get away, and go on a vacation again. So that maybe if I can get away from this boy then maybe just maybe I will no longer like him more than a friend. Why do I have to like him so much and why won't it go away. Usually I can tell when a boy doesn't like me, so I stop liking him and then when I find out for sure that he doesn't like me more than a friend I don't get hurt. But now that I am no longer hurt by the fact that he doesn't like me the same way that I like him. For some reason that I can't figure out, I still like him and this feeling is not going away.

I am loving my life, I am so blessed. I know I would be nothing without my Heavenly Father I am so thankful for all that he does and gives me. I am so thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ and that he bled and died for me to take away my sins, I know that he lives. There is a line in one of the hyms that I really love that is how I feel about my Savior, "I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine, That he should extend his great love unto such as I, Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify. Oh it is wonderful that he should care for me Enough to die for me! Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me!" I know the Book of Mormon is true and that it was written for our day. I know that Priesdent Monson is the Prophet of the Church, I am so thankful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I would be lost if I didn't have the gospel in my life it has brought me so much happiness, even though sometimes life is hard; the Lord has to bring us low before he can lift us higher, and the Lord is not just building the church he is also building us. The lord will also never abandon us, so we should not abandon him. The Lord will also aid, strengthen us, help us, and cause us to stand. And I am truely blessed to have family and friends that love and support me!

Content!!

Friday I didn't go to a friends house instead I went to work and then the gym! I am happy that I did because when I got home I found out that I had lost another pound! So now all together I have lost 12lbs I am so stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then Saturday I watched General Conference both sessions which was very excellent. Then I went with my mom, aunt and my two sisters and we got pedicures and then went out to eat. That was a lot of fun mostly because I got to see my little sister. It was so good to see her; cause I don't see her that much anymore since she got married. I honestly love my little sister! I would do anything for her....well within reason of course!

Also for the past 2 nights I have been staying up until like 2am chatting with my friend Angela (that lives in Texas) on facebook! It has been nice being able to catch up on a lot of things with her! I miss her, I wish she was still here in Utah, and still in my ward! She may also come visit this summer; which is another thing that I am stoked about!!! I may also go see her this summer if everything works out! If not there is always next year!

So today I got to watch both sessions which was very nice; and over all General Conference was wonderful, amazing and now my cup is overflowing!! I took the time to write down a couple of my favorite quotes from Conference......"Choose to live by faith, not fear!" and "You can't be a life saver if you look like everyone else on the beach." Ya Conference was awesome, I really enjoyed every bit of it!! Then I went to work and it wasn't too bad it was actually nice because we got to work with another person so things didn't get too boring. I am just happy that I didn't have to work during conference! Also one of the great things about working while it's Conference is that there is always food that they let us eat!

So the other day I was telling a good friend of mine that I feel I am content and a lot more confident now than I ever have been, even though it's kind of weirding me out a little; and I am way different now, I guess it's because I am not used to the new me yet. So maybe it's also because of me finally losing weight and because I like everyone in my ward, and I feel like I could just go up to anyone in my ward and strike up a conversation without them looking at me like I am weird or that I shouldn't be talking to them; and then she said to me "You are starting to realize how absolutely amazing you are, and how you have nothing to worry about. Everyone likes you and gets along with you so well!! I'm glad that you are able to carry that now." Then I said to her "yes I have come to that realizion! I am content with who I am now!" Wow can I just say that I have one really absolutely amazing true friend; I can't believe that she said that about me.

So that brings me to my next topic, friends. A few of my friends have still been on my mind a lot, first one that comes to mind is one I haven't seen or heard from in quite a while, but yesterday we did chat a little on facebook. So now I am not so concerned about her. The next one I haven't heard or seen her for about a month almost, but tonight she finally sent me a text, so thank goodness I was starting to wonder if something had happened to her, cause it's not like her to not answer my calls or texts. Another friend is still going through a hard time, I have been trying to help cause I know that life is hard; we have to go through hard things in order to become strong and to be able to stand tall; because that is how we learn and grow and then we are better prepared for eternal life.

Work is not fun!

Monday was alright I wasn't as sad as I was on Sunday, I went to work which was no fun again. Then after work I went and just chilled and watched while some of my friends bowled, only 4 of us went to Dees, and it was nice with a small group. Tuesday went to school and institute. I am not looking forward to going to class tomorrow I would like to sleep in and just go to my institute class, and also not go to work for the rest of this week as well!

Well today I got to sleep in which was nice, then since my parents were coming back; from out of town, my aunt came up stairs to ask me if I was going to leave a note for my mom (cause on Saturday I broke my moms stone pan) like I am that stupid and irresponsible, that I wouldn't tell my mom about what I had done; that was my plan all along if they came home after I left for work then I was going to leave a note; but if they came back before I went to work then I was just going to tell my mom about it! But oh well I guess she didn't mean any harm by it, but sometimes I wonder why she has to treat me like am a kid; when I am perfectly able to take care of things on my own.

Well I wish it was Friday I may go over to a friends house after work, and hopefully tonight I can get enough sleep so I can go to the gym on Thursday after work. I really hope it doesn't snow anymore in the valley; it can snow all it wants in the mountains, because that is where we need it. I am sick of the snow I wish we could have some nice weather for a change, rather it being cold and snowy. This weekend should be good though since it's conference I get to watch both sessions on Saturday then go out with my mom, aunt and both of my sisters for girls night out while the boys go to priesthood meeting. Then sunday I get to watch both sessions again then I have to go to work. Also I have lost 11lbs now I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!
