So today I was running errands with a friend and just decided that I would genuinely smile at every person that I made eye contact with. First stop was at a car shop (poor Bruiser is sick). Apparently my dad went to high school with the guy who owned the shop and we had a nice conversation about my dad and what he was like in high school. I was genuinely interested and it was so fun hearing about my dad from people other than our relatives. The second stop was at a car wash. I immediately made eye contact with two of the guys working there and just smiled really big at them. They smiled back and it felt great. Maybe this is the flirty side of me coming out, but I just love the feeling that I get when I smile at someone and they genuinely smile back. Last stop was to Sammy's for a late lunch. There was only one guy working by himself and I was thinking that if I worked alone I would get so lonely! So I decided to just smile and he started talking to us and I'm sure it made him feel a little less lonely. Who knows. Anyway, the point of all this is that I love to smile at people. Sometimes it really surprises them or even yourself.
Because I'm worth it.

realization
i gave up on blogging for a while because i am pretty good about keeping a journal. but my journal is downstairs and i just HAD to get some of my thoughts about my life out of my head.
things i've realized:
- sometimes you have to be selfish and stop doing things to please other people
- always be honest with others; it makes everything so much easier
- be honest with yourself
- making lists is always a great pastime and it helps me to sort things out
- don't take things for granted because pretty soon things will be gone (ie: for two years)
- love unconditionally
- don't be afraid to meet new people and do new things
- BE OUTGOING
- sometimes it's okay to be a tiny bit forward
- summertime is so much more enjoyable than winter
- BUDGET BUDGET BUDGET
- don't give up towards the end, you've put in that much hard work. why not just finish it?
- never forget the Lord
- be 100% faithful in the little things
ayeeeeeeeeeeeee. i don't even know how to explain how this year is coming along. it's been a mixture of so many things. it's definitely quite the adjustment from last year but i'm learning to love every bit of it.
missions are great, but i want all my boys to come back to me already! i can't wait to see what two years from now will bring, but for now, i'm more than happy to live for today.
