what's new in my world

this last week hasn't been that exciting. i did go mountain biking with jonathon on monday and wednesday. monday was muddy and wednesday was in the rain. it was totally awesome! this week is kinda going to suck because jonathon is not going to be in town so we can't go mountain biking. on the good news side, lis said she may be getting a bike here soon, so we can all go mountain biking. tuesday i went to a bridal shower for a friend of a friend. it was alright, but by the end of the evening, i was ready to shoot the other girls there. i was on edge so much that when i got home, i vented to erin for a second and then had to take a walk. i went walking in the rain. it was a good way to calm down so i could get to sleep for work early wednesday morning. i am not sure why, but i really just can't stand 18-22 year old girls, especially the ones that are so, "wo is me. i'm not married in utah and i'm 19." it drives me insane.
um, let's see.... monday was work and mountain biking. tuesday was work and bridal shower. wednesday was long day at work and mountain biking in the rain. thursday was work and the oquirrh mountain temple open house with the ward. it was absolutely beautiful. i was amazed at the little details that make everything work perfectly together. it really is The House of the Lord. i think my favorite part was one that i didn't expect. in the more main hallway area, there is a picture of the Savior surrounded by white sheep. in His arms is one small black sheep. i can't explain why, but i started crying. i couldn't stop looking at the painting and thinking, "Heavenly Father loves ALL His children. and i am included in that." it was truly remarkable. i want to find a smaller picture of that painting and put it where i will see it everyday and remember the spirit i felt in the oquirrh mountain temple. i also didn't expect to start bawling when we entered the sealing room, but from the second we walked into that room and sat down, i was bawling. i miss my mom so much. it will be 13 years next tuesday. and deep down in my soul and in my heart, i know she is in heaven waiting for me. i know it is selfish, but i want her here now on earth with me.
friday was a pretty fun day. i went to work, came home, got my laundry done, went to body jam, and then went to the grand opening of the frozen yogurt shop 'spoon me' in ogden. i had just found out thursday night that my friend jake and his band, 'avenue of embers' was going to play. the frozen yogurt was really good. and then i went to lis' house and spent the night so we could get up early saturday morning. lis asked if i would help her with engagement pictures. the couple was incredibly cute, and the weather wasn't too bad. then we went to body jam. after jam, lis held a lia sophia party. and then we went to her family ward party. and that was my week in review. i didn't get to see ryan this weekend. he had drills with the national guard rotc. i think i will get to see him this coming weekend....for my birthday :) afterall, i still have his favorite hat.
