nothing's gonna change my world

so i've taken the time to read back over some posts from my old website (it's so pathetic i won't even bother posting the link) and i realized how annoying and whiney i was. all i did was make posts about boys and wanting to leave wilmington and how i cried about really stupid things. it made me laugh and kinda stand back and look at how i've changed. now granted i'm still annoying and whiney sometimes but i don't cry and think i'm in love with every boy and talk about how badly i want to leave. while i don't really feel like i've grown up or matured looking at those old posts show me that i have. it's scary and exciting all at the same time!!

in other news, i forgot abut something cute one of my sunbeams did!! i have a picture of my dad as my book mark in my scriptures (thanks sister thorup!) and when i got my scriptures out ryan took the picture and said "i love this picture!"...why are children so cute?!

as you are aware, my feelings are very bi-polar about this college thing....today i am feeling excited. on facebook i see pictures and comments from people and i'm REALLY happy i won't have to see half of them ever again! i'm excited to meet new people, i'm excited to spend more time with jenn, i'm excited to FINALLY HIKE THE "Y", i'm excited to learn in a place centered around the church, i'm excited to learn.

august 25th feels forever away.
but it's not...

no, YOU'RE WRONG colonel sanders!

so i'm the sunbeams teacher at church and they're notorious for sweet compliments. today when ryan came in he sat down next to me and immediately said "i love your dress! it's beautiful! i love flowers! i like to smell them!"

it was THE CUTEST thing ever. maybe being the sunbeams teacher isn't so bad after all.
