Can you tell I'm excited for my parents to come home from their cruise? One week of no communication, no parents, and having to make dinner on my own is way too much. Tomorrow my glorious parents will be arriving home and can I just say, I'm excited. I made this poster and will proceed to put it on the front of my house. I can't wait. I can also say that this week has been hard. I've had had over 20 tests in the past 10 days, along with many other side things like mutual, friends, church business, and doctors appointments. Although I love it all, it has all been killing me for the past little bit. I have been missing school SO much lately it's a little scary (although I do love missing it). So what I have coming up for the last bit of February is getting my braces on, going to the acupuncturist, baptisms, tests, 4 birthdays, and many more other things. These are all fun but at the same time? I don't think so. I complained to my teacher because I had 5 tests out of 7 hours in one day and all he could tell me was that that was what college was going to be like. Finals week, or aka death week, when you take all of your tests. I also have been taking responsibility in babysitting, making dinner, and taking care of someone's dog. STRESSFUL. I tried to make chicken, which turned out to be one of the hardest things to make ever and had many incidents with that. I have been making dinner for the past week for personal progress and most all of the meals include meat. Well, every time I fried meat, the grease popped on me which hurt, of course. But when I made spaghetti, I tried to boil pasta and fry meat at the same time which was disastrous, and I don't advise it. But anyways, the meat popped grease onto my face which hurt a lot, but it continued with a big water bubble splashing out of the pot and landing on my foot. That hurt a lot, and when I tried to make a gravy for chicken pockets some of the gravy popped out of the pot and decided to land on my finger; which was the worst. I still have a burn on my finger from it. I could go on more, but I assume that you've heard enough. So yeah I've been a bit of a complainer for the past little while, but aren't we all complainers? I suppose we shouldn't be, but we are. I challenge you all to stop complaining as much as you do, along with me to try and stop complaining. There are so many worse things happening to other people and we need to stop complaining about our minor problems are recognize and comfort others with bigger problems. I was feeling pretty bad for myself one time when a lady told me a story of what had happened to her in the past week. She told me that she decided to go up to Salt Lake to go Christmas shopping. Well, she bought all of her presents and went to a hotel to stay the night. During that night, someone had broken into her car, and stolen all of the presents. As disappointed as she was, she continued to go home without any presents. When she got home, her car got stolen during the night. The list continued to go on and I realized that I had so many great things and I was still complaining about what I didn't have. As I press on in life I try to become less selfish and see others through Christ's eyes. I challenge you do do that too.
Gah!! I love you!! You are amazing!!
