Day with the Ducks

Sunday this week such a beautiful and HOT day that we all decided to do some service for the day in gratitude to our Heavenly Father giving us a beautiful day out of all the terrible rainy ones we had been having.

For our service project we went and fed some ducks/geese. We are guessing that they must have been really full since they hardly ate any of our bread ooorrrrrr it was because the breaed had gone bad about a month earlier. One of those two reasons.

Either way it was a beautiful day and a great way to spend the Sabbath with some friends. This is the right way to see the blessings the Lord gives us every day. Seeing the beauty that He has created for our lives and the wonderful people that we are blessed to share it with.

Weekly Lesson

I've learned this week that sometimes you can't be everything for someone. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way. I won't go into details about it. But I thought that this person and I were very close. Lately we've been somewhat distant from each other. I have been going through some growing chances and so don't feel the need to tell her everything that is going on in my life lately. She sees this as me getting sick of her and no longer liking her. I tried to explain my self to her, but should couldn't understand it.

After a weekend away from the apartment she returned and we were able to make up and become good friends again. We are not as close as we used to be, but at least we are talking again and are getting there a bit at a time. But this time will be different. I can't always be in her life as constantly as she wants me to be. We are too different. So even though I can't always agree with her ideas or her taste in guys, I'll still be there for her. BUT I'm going to remain myself, I can't change to simply agree with someone else's idea of a "right" person. I'm fine just the way I am :P

What Can That Be?!

I don't know if you can really see the blue marks on my legs.

BUT

Can anyone guess what they're from?!

Miss Peacock, in the Kitchen, with the Spoon!!

For quite a few days now there has been a smell in our kitchen. It has always always occurred while our dishwasher has been running!! We though that perhaps something had melted or gotten to close to the top of the washer. However we could not find anything!! :O

One day I smelled it once again!! I had to find it. I HAD TO! I emptied the entire dishwasher, checking all the plastic to see if it was in any way melted. Still I couldn't find anything. At last in the end of my search I found a WOODEN SPOON stuck under the metal ring at the bottom. Apparently it had fallen down, lodged its self in there, and we had never seen it til than. By this point we had done about 5 washes with it hidden there.

To go along with our stupidity of this spoon, I attempted to pull it out shortly after the wash was done. Needless to say the ring was still HOT. I burned my finger. :(

Showing how thin the spoon got while burning each time.

Birthday Bash #20

It was Deanna's 20th Birthday on the 30 of April and we decided to throw a 24 hour party for her. It was a lot of fun and was a lot of stuff to do!!

Weekend in the Provo

Sooo yes this was about two weeks ago. BUT I was able to spend an amazing weekend with Mom, Laura, Staci Rob, David, Blake, and of course the babes. It started a little emotional with seeing Mom for the first time since January and it was amazing the rest of the weekend to spend with her and to catch up.

This weekend was a real blessing to me. I didn't realize it before, but I really needed some good old family time, especially with Mom. I wish the entire family had been there, it would have made the entire weekend most definitely amazing! While down there in Provo I was able to meet the Larson family a little bit more than I had a week before waiting for my shuttle back to school. And I have to say I feel as though I have known the family my whole life. They are all so warm and caring and welcoming.

The Bridal Shower thrown for Laura was perfect. The Larson sisters did it perfectly. It was a little bit of traditional with some spice thrown in there to make it fun for us younger people there. I was able to buy Laura some very fancy perfume from Victoria's Secret along with some edible body icing for the wedding night ;)

FUNNY STORY TIME: I was playing outside with Gracie and Sophie (Blake's nieces) and we were having a wonderful time together....maybe.lol. When out of nowhere a FREAKIN BIRD POOPED ON ME!! Thankfully it was only on my (new) shirt and was only a little bit. Anne helped me clean it off gently and it has been saved. Unfortunately my dignity was not saved and am now afraid of birds.

BUT it was an amazing trip down to Provo. I am glad that I was able to see some family for a while and of course to see my Mom. I'm glad that Laura was able to have some Martin Girls there for her special day. Well one of them leading up to thee ONE!
