another perfect day

Yesterday was a GREAT day. I rolled out of bed at 5 yesterday morning and got all dressed and ready for the temple. FINALLY!! Even though it was really early, and I forgot my temple recommend so I had to run all the way back home to get it, I am sooo glad that I was able to go. It really set the mood for the rest of my day. The temple is so beautiful and peaceful - it is perfect!! My goal is to make this a weekly routine. Every Thursday morning at 6 am, the Rexburg temple workers should expect to see me. I am adding this to my list of goals :D

I know it isn't the best to skip classes, but I really was so tired. I came home from the temple with every intention of going to psychology an hour later, but when the alarm went off I had zero motivation to wake up and go to school. My psychology class is wonderful; I love it. However, when we haven't done anything that will extremely benefit my life and especially when the teacher doesn't take attendance, I did not feel like missing one class would break me. I will be there on Tuesday ready to learn.

After my morning slumber, I went to my Book of Mormon class and I was SO PROUD today - I DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP!!! :) I was so happy. It is a really great class, but the teacher's voice is one that is so soothing it knocks me right out. I was glad that I was able to be involved with the lesson today. We discussed Satan's snares and the way he works. There were a lot of powerful insights from my classmates that I enjoyed listening to.

I then went to History and Philosophy of Education. On the way there, I ran into a girl from my class. She told me about how she volunteered at a children's hospital over the summer and worked with child life specialists. I had never heard of this profession before, so she explained it to me and it really caught my attention. They are these people who prep the children before going into surgery on what will happen. They play with the kids and become friends with them. They are like the child's support system - They stick with the child all the way through their time in the hospital. I looked up more information on it after I got home, and I think I am going to talk to my advisor and see if that might be a better field for me to pursue. It sounds amazing to me!

While my roomies were all out at X-Country, I did some homework. Nothing too exciting...but then someone knocked on the door. I went to open it, expecting it to be Trevor and Ben (an hour early for Pancake Night) but to my surprise, it was someone else. This boy named Jason stood shyly outside my front door. He then asked me if I would mind escorting him to the ice caves on Saturday :)

We had our weekly Thursday Pancake Night!! AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS chocolate chip pancakes with mint ice cream on top is the perfect way to finish off a stupendous day. They were soo good, as always.

Today I have my english class and child development, and later tonight I get to hang out with Erica (she's in town!!) and sleepover at Nichole's place with Nichole and Erica. Tomorrow morning I get to paint another backdrop for Fall Formal, do a bunch of homework, go on the ice caves date, and finish off with a Pirate Sleepover Party with the roomies and other girls from fhe :D

Life is so good right now. Have a super day everyone! I love you.
