UGH!!!

So it's about 11:30 and I have been working on homework since pretty much 5:30ish.  Granted I took a short break for "Crazy Cake Tuesday" but still my brain is fried!!!  I was lucky I got done what I did last night.  The Junior Core is going to kill me!  Oh well, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.  Hopefully I can survive the rest of this week and the following week...TEST WEEK! Then things should be fairly smooth sailing until FINALS!!! AGH! Can I have more time please?

You Know You're a Girl When...

You drive up to the temple with your best friend to just soak in the spirit.  While you're sitting there talking, a couple pulls up and gets out to walk around the temple grounds.  Now it's a cold night so both of them have their hands in the pockets.  You and your friend start freaking out because he's not holding her hand.  You get so frustrated almost to the point of rolling down your window and yelling at the guy.  Finally he gets a little closer.  They stop by a wall and you see his hand come out.  You start to get excited and then the next thing you know, he's on one knee and both hands are finally out!!! You and your friend start screaming and celebrating for them as they hug (and probably kiss) for a long time.  Once they are back in their car and drive away, you can finally settle down and get ready to go yourself.  Oh the joys of being a girl!

Tender Mercies

How wonderful the Lord is in blessing us.  Today I had the Lord show me an extremely tender mercy at a time where I needed it.  Fortunately, this was not the first time.  Over the course of my life, more specifically in the past two and half years, I have been blessed with some wonderful little things that make my heart rejoice in the Lord.  I am so grateful for what He has blessed with and I hope to remain worthy of additional little tender mercies that make all the difference.
