sundays are fabulous.

and today is sunday. therefore. today is fabulous.

so. i went to church. that always makes the day brighter. it rained. I love the smell of rain. i love seeing rainbows. and i love lightening. i read my book of mormon while it rained. adds to the effect i believe. it was neat. i read 1 nephi 4:6. that scripture always amazes me. I really want nothing more than to be an EFY counselor and to teach kids that Jesus loves them. and would like to write off my senior year completely. and head out into the real world. I really want to go into special education in college. and to adopt a down syndrome child when I am older.
yesterday. I went to a pageant about pioneers and Jesus. I loved it. it was a little cheesy. but it was the feeling that beat out all. helps me take pride in my state and country. and feel my savior's love. referred someone to the missionaries. that was neat. and i love the pioneers. so much. can you imagine going through what they did? the winter. gah. i could never make it. the dad makes me laugh. especially when we sing true to the faith. my family is quoting sandlot. what an epic movie. yesterday. at the pageant. we sang the star spangled banner. I cried. then. we sang all the military branch songs. Jim Hindley, the man we went with, cried when we sang of the army. about 78. he was in the army. and i cried even harder. i only get emotional when we talk about our country. people say its going down in ruins. but i still have faith in our country. and the american people. believe it or not. we don't really wanna fail. and I am pretty sure God won't let us.
Matt is leaving soon. just over a week. it is bitter sweet. he has to go. i would be very angry if he didn't. but imagining the pool without matt hock is nearly impossible. but. he is so. very. lucky. spreading the gospel? no greater joy. i envy him. a little.
i wrote a letter today. perhaps i will get the guts to send it this time. this is the last session of swim lessons. starting tomorrow. grrr. this i do not like. Joe Dorius. is my new favorite. sometimes. while he head guards. we tie dogs to flag poles. and decide ways to camp out at the pool. and matt designs his dream back yard. so prime.
and then the dad has decided to rent goats. this i don't understand.
you know something.
I love my life.
just saying.
I have been truly blessed.
word.
