Easter

I love Easter. It is my favorite Holiday. Favorite. Ever.

I have loved Easter since I was a little girl. Always.

More than Christmas, more than my birthday. Easter was always a happy time in my life.


College is especially hard this time of year. (College is hard in general, for many reasons). But right now is when I wish I were at home.

I want to be filling plastic eggs with candy.

I want to be hard-boiling eggs and dying my fingers bright colors as I try to create the masterpiece egg.

I want to be preparing Easter dinner, by buying all the necessities.

I want my mom and my brothers.

I really am not sure why Easter is my favorite...

Sometimes I attribute it to Springtime

Sometimes I attribute it to a "less intensive" or "less stressful" holiday-- not as much about gifting and feeding, just happiness and being together.

Sometimes I attribute it to bright colors and tasty candy (I swear to goodness Easter M&Ms, the pastel ones, taste SOOO much better than regular ones. No lie.)


I know the real meaning of Easter is the rising of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know that without Him my life would have no meaning whatsoever. I know that with my Savior everything is possible. I also know how extremely blessed and grateful I am to have that knowledge in my life.

With Him, things make sense.
With Him, things hurt less.
With Him, miracles happen.


Whatever the reason, I love my Savior, I love His sacrafice for me, and I love the Holiday we have to celebrate His life he lived and died for each and every individual who has ever walked the earth.

Easter is something worth celebrating.

Happy

The last week or two just haven't been going very well for me lately. I'm not really sure why either. I think it's just the lasting winter and being a senior in college who isn't graduating. Stressing about money and life.

Anyway, I had kind of a crummy day yesterday. I was slightly maltreated by a friend, and not a lot hurt, but kind of.

So I was exhausted and tired, and climbed into bed to read my scriptures before I zonked out.

In my scripture journal, I wrote a little over 2 full pages (it's a small journal, but typically I write a little less than half a page), and while I was reading I etched this on the top of the page:

I'm so happy with who I am right now.

So even though I'm kind of bummed out (yes, still. I don't know what's wrong with me!) I'm still happy with my life.

Not Much

there isn't a lot going on in my life right now to report on.

The few things that are happening:

I'm on Spring Break, which has entirely gone by way too fast.

I went home for a few days, and really want to go home again.

I'm worried about whether or not I'm going to find a job this summer.

I'm worried about paying for school next year.

I'm tired a lot... My thyroid is acting up again.

That's about all I have to say right now... maybe when my life regains normalcy (HA!) I'll have something more to write about.

But for now, I need to go figure out how to change a tail light.

wish me luck!

Bad Day

I just had a bad day today. Today was supposed to be my one good day I had this week, and it wasn't. I'm miserable and tired. I'm going to bed in hopes that tomorrow will be a better day.

I Just Haven't Met Him

I love this song by Michael. I heard it a few weeks ago, and instantly fell in LOVE.

Listening to this song makes me content. It gives me hope and it makes me not worry about the unknown and the fact that everyone around me is getting married, EXCEPT me.

I'm okay. I'm waiting for the right one, and I just haven't met him yet.

March Goals

I realized today as I sat down to write my goals out for this month, there were quite a few from last month I didn't accomplish.

But that's okay. As Elder Hales says: Every day is a chance for a New Year's Resolution.

Here are New Resolutions, as I strive to be better.

• Read Scriptures Daily
• Pray on Knees
• Pray in the Morning
• Continue writing in Journal
• Keep room/desk clean
• Read March Ensign
• Attend Aerobics/Work Out
• Finish ALL homework
• Give at least 1 sincere compliment a day
• Be generous
• Live my life as if Christ was standing next to me.

A Few things to add

I was thinking of my summer list of fun and remembered a few more things this summer is going to consist of:

-A garden (I've always wanted one, but have always been too busy to have one)
-A puzzle a month - Mom and I love puzzles, and we both got one for Christmas, but they are undone, so we are going to work on a puzzle a month.
-Yardwork - I'm actually pretty excited about this one. I just want to help my mom out, and weeding out the yard and redoing the sidewalk are just a few of the many things to be accomplished this summer.
