Life Recap: New Baby Brother, Mission, School

-
Oh my goodness, life is so busy. I am so grateful to almost be done with my associates degree!! I am also so ready to be done, for real. This whole college thing is getting pretty old. (hahaha.) My major is in Nursing. I am super excited to start my classes at a university to get my degree! I feel at peace with this decision right now, I feel like it will be a good career no matter where my life takes me.

I am starting the application process to go on a mission!! It has been a long road in coming to my decision to serve a mission. I went through many trials, and moments where I felt like I would never be spiritual enough to go. I have been attending two institute classes in order to prepare myself spiritually for my mission. I know that wherever the Lord calls me to serve will be exactly where I need to be, so I am not hoping to go anywhere in particular. I am just so excited to have the opportunity to serve. I was talking to my dad today when out of the blue he asked me, "Lauren, you know that they are going to ask you in your interview about your financial situation. What are you going to say?" I kind of freaked out for a moment, because I just used a lot of my savings on a car and paying for school this semester. As I started to stress out again, my dad said, "You don't have to worry. Just save as much as you can, and you mother and I will help you out with the rest." When he said that I felt a feeling of peace and comfort come to my heart. I am so thankful for both my earthly and my Heavenly parents. I cannot wait to share the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ with His children!!!

I love you all, and I hope everyone is doing well. I enjoy reading your Blogs whenever I get the chance. I have gotten to know so many amazing people through Blogging. I am grateful for the example that each one of you have set for me. 

(Oh, and I have a new little brother. He is such a cutie pie. I love him so much! He is such a blessing to our family!)

What Happens When Daredevils Take On Crafts.......

For the past two weeks I've been eagerly awaiting my chance to learn how to quilt with the women in our Ward!!!! I went with Monkey this morning, and not only did I make a l ap quilt but I also found that I love q uilting !!!!! Because I was thinking so much about quilting I think it was hammered into my sub-conscience mind.........That's the only thing that can explain this dream, or I'm just weird. You choose. The Dream- In my dream I was running in the woods with a pile of fabric in one hand, and a sewing machine in the other. In the middle of a small clearing was a table, so I went up to the table and quickly laid out my stuff and started quilting. I was just a quarter of the way done when something crashed through the bushes behind me, one hand was still sewing while the other was hitting the creature that was trying to attack me. I kicked and hit the stuffing out of the thing, and it left battered and bruised with it's tail between it's legs. I just shook my...

Yes this is all true!

I have said many crazy things in my life. Most of them my mom has already blogged. So I'm going to blog this one. Besides it is my story. When we were at the pool Friday my mom wanted me to pull her around the pool. I did it, then I tried to pick her up in the water. I jokingly told her that I'll have to get married in a pool so my husband could carry me over the threshold. Please remember that I was joking. Well anyway this summer we spent a lot of it at the pool. So we saw the lifeguards frequently. One of them always had his Rubik cube with him, I thought it was interesting. So when I got home I said,"Mom I want an aerobics cube." Yes I thought it was an aerobics cube. I learned quickly that I was wrong. Because my mom started laughing and told me between laughs that its Rubik. Okay so now I get it. That's only a couple of the crazy things to have escaped my mind and come out of my mouth. So I don't feel alone on this matter please share some of the crazy ...

Be afraid, very afraid of the lama-eating casserole

Yesterday we finally finished working on the front yard! And I'm very excited about it. Before we finished Monkey, and I were talking while we weeded the big planter. Monkey was telling me about a girl in her class that can mimic all the characters on Napoleon Dynamite. I was laughing and quoting Tina's moment in the casserole spotlight until mom who was a couple feet away from me asked what I was talking about and I told her," Hello mom, you can't interrupt me while I'm talking about lama-eating casserole." I had meant to say casserole eating-lama, but whatever it didn't come out that way. As you can probably guess I was taken over by my laughing. After my laughter had died down, and I could see and talk clearly again my mom said to me,"If there was a lama-eating casserole you wouldn't be allowed in a petting zoo ." She said that they would tell me,"Sorry ma'am but that casserole is a danger to our lamas so you'll have to lea...
