I'm SOOOOOOO grateful for the many "friends" who have been placed in my life this week to remind me that I am not alone in being single, and having desires that have not yet been fulfilled in my life! It seems as though there has been one almost every single day of the past week, and it has been really good to be reminded that others know how I am feeling!!
-- Lindsey Jackson invited me to celebrate pi day by going out and eating pie together. It was some really delicious pie, but even more delicious was our conversation... It was sooo good to know and feel that there was a person who I could relate to on almost every level. Lindsey and I have been trying to get together and do something with each other for over 6 months now! Coincidence that it finally worked out?!!? It think not!
-- I spent the weekend in Salt Lake with Adje! She has always been a great example to me of making the most out of your life, when you have the unexpected life! It was soo nice to get away for a couple of days, relax and lounge most of the day Saturday, go out to dinner and a movie, have a good laugh and just once again feel like the person I'm talking to actually gets what it is I'm saying! =) Adrien has been an incredible example to me in my life... I'm sooo grateful for her love, her friendship, and her belief in me! Thanks for an amazing weekend of lounging!!!
-- Sunday evening was spent with Racheal, who also is a blessed friend who is there when I need a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, or just someone who can put a smile back on my face when I'm feeling sad. We are quite the travel buddies, and spent our evening together planning out the more finite details of our trip to Europe!!! Yep, that's right... we are headed to Europe May 11th. We are hitting 8 countries in 28 days. I'm sure we'll be spent, but I'm grateful for an amazing friend to travel through Europe with! Love you Rach!
-- Tonight, was even a tender mercy from the Lord. I was not super excited to be going to Home Evening... feeling a bit bogged down with the calling, and even more so feeling that I had to attend, I'm so glad I went. Jenn Weiss is incredible and a wonderful listening ear who gets it! Home Evening actually ended up being a good time, where I met some fun new people. (Not expected). Jon and some of his friends cooked for us and it was just fun. We laughed and goofed around a bit. Then after home evening, Jenn and I spent the evening chatting about life! She has such a positive outlook on life, and I'm grateful for her shining optimism! She shared some awesome literature with me, that I'm ecstatic to delve into a bit further.
There really are soooo many more blessings that I would love to write all about but, it is soon midnight, and I have to get up at 5:40 to go exercising with Mandy, so I'm thinking I must call it a night for now, but look forward to expounding on the blessings of tomorrow! It's amazing how much a slight attitude adjustment can really boost your mood! =) Although, I'm still grateful for those harder days because they make the amazing days that much more amazing!!!
