Happy Valentine's Day!

How are you going to spread the love today?

For FHE (Family Home Evening) tonight we are doing a service project. We will attempt to make cookies and then deliver them to people in need of some lovin'.

I have the best butter cream icing recipe here.

And banana bread one here.

{ Have a Happy Valentine's Day! }

Love,

Awkward AND Awesome

{ The awesome and awkward me }

Sometimes you just need to appreciate those awesome and awkward moments of your week.

Awkward:
- Choking on water in the quiet section of the Library... I seem to do this a lot
- Feeling really dumb in Book of Mormon class because we are talking about the teachings of Isaiah
- I went running, and this kid tried to hold a conversation while running... yeah that doesn't really work for me
- Finding my underwear in our apartment's bathroom because I forgot to take it back to my room after showering


Awesome:
* My granny sent me a Valentines Day package :)
* All of my valentines were successfully mailed yesterday
* The banana bread I made for English class was DELICIOUS
* I went to the cupcake factory and had a Cupcake Brownie (yuummm...) in celebration of doing well on a test that didn't even matter
* We are learning an AWESOME tap routine in tap - I'm beast at it.
* Playing Harry Potter UNO with cool people!
* Crashing a Stake Dance
* Eating a bowl of brownies and ice cream, even though you know you shouldn't

{ Happy Valentines Day! }

I am having an awesome/awkward week, and I hope you are too!

Listen

Today in band we talked about the importance of listening to one another, in order to balance and produce the correct sound. Listening is SO IMPORTANT. When I listen to the Spirit, my heart and mind are more in-tune to the things the Lord wants me to do. This morning I prayed for opportunities to serve and be where the Lord would want me to be. While walking to the testing center, I was approached by a lady who needed help finding the Clark building. I led her right to the room she needed to be in, and when she thanked me, my heart began to swell. I've been paying more attention to little moments like that. Moments where the Spirit touches me because of the good things I have done. 

Right now I'm in the quiet section of the library eating All Natural Dried Cranberries. yummm.

SO much sugar in these things..

Today Morgan and I went Valentine Card shopping. I got some pretty sweet ones. Have you ever seen Hoops and YoYo? They are the cutest green and pink things you will ever see. Check them out here.

Well, I never got my homework done over the weekend.. But what's new? I'm in the process of finishing up a paper for Monday. I think it's my best work yet.

Have you ever eaten brownies to your fullest capacity? That just happened to me!

It hurts.

Below Zero

 

(The Rexburg sky in it's better days)

Wow. I have zero motivation to do homework. A big fat zero.

This morning while I walked to my 9:oo class,  it was 25 degrees BELOW ZERO. I live in an ice cube. I made my way to class all bundled up in a scarf, thinking it would help. Newp, it sure didn't. The only thing it did was freeze my eyelashes. I would breath warm air and it bounced back up and froze my eyes shut! Not gonna lie, it looked pretty cool. 

I took a tap dance test today. I also tripped up some stairs. Lost all confidence in that one moment. I took a while for me to walk it off. I'm better now :)

Oh, I almost forgot...

{ HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY! }

family tradition : we watch this.

It's FEBRUARY!!!

I love this holiday! So many sweet words of kindness are filling the air. 

The only bummer part about it is I have a cold and I am constantly using a tissue :(

Remember that awesome package I got in the mail?? I never told you what was in it! My family sent me a package of valentine goodies! I cannot wait to make cupcakes with cute wrappers and sprinkles. I LOVE MY FAMILY!! The cupcakes will look like this.

Have a great Tuesday!
