Blessings Post... (A Precursor to my Girls Camp Recap Post)

-
This past week has been fantastic! I just got back from my 6th year of Girls Camp!! I went to look back on my past Girls Camp posts! I have had a recap post since my first year! It is amazing to look back and see how I've progressed the last couple years! I cannot even wrap my head around the fact that I am now officially a Senior in high school! I'm kind of freaking out so much! I only have four classes to go until I get my Associates Degree, but I'm a little bit worried because they're college science and math classes... But I know that as I pray and work hard it will turn out just fine! I have had such amazing service oppurtunities this year being Laurel president, High School Representative, and Seminary president, I'm just sad that my time is going to be crunched this next year and I won't be able to participate as much! I have throughouly enjoyed all my experiences! They have all been blessings in my life!

Something else that has totally change my life is that I got my drivers licence the day before my birthday!!! I love driving!! I really only drive to church, mutual, and work but it is so different from anything that I have ever done before. I always feel so grown up when I get behind the wheel! But I always make sure that I pray before I do! I have a testimony that it is vitally important for me to do so! Houston drivers are crazy, so I love driving at times when the roads are all but empty. Every time that I have prayed before leaving the roads are clear, or I'm able to get home without having to worry about getting in a wreck with a wreckless driver. It's kind of hard to explain how I see it as a blessing but I do... So yeah.

One last blessing that I have is having a stable job. They are so willing to work with my crazy whacked out scehdule, and they give me all the hours they can. Sometimes I wish I could just go find another job, but I love everyone I work with, and I enjoy getting to know some of the people who come in!

So pretty much this might be one of the last posts for a while, because I start summer school in a few weeks, and I'll be working a lot more. Oh!! And I have a talk on Sunday...But that is a story for another time! :) Farwell!

    Isn't girls' camp THE BEST? I'm so happy you went all 6 years and did all the awesome YCL stuff! I know some girls that only go for 4 or 5 years, and they SO miss out.

    I just got back from camp Saturday afternoon (I was a cabin Mom this year) and it was amazing! I loved it so much, and so did our girls!

    Zach Face got a job in April, working at the movie theater that's just 3 minutes' drive away from our house. He loves it, and like your job, they are great at working around his scheduling needs. Also, they respect his request to never work on Sunday! And HEY! He gets to go to movies for free all the time, and he can bring his parents for free, woo hoo!

Yup. That's right today is my 14th birthday. (I was born on 5-5-95!!! Isn't that awesome?!) I can't believe it! It doesn't feel like it's a year since whining about turning 13!! Anyway so my mom made me a delicious birthday breakfast that consisted of: Pancakes (raspberry, and cinnamon), cantaloupe, mini sausages, and hash browns!! It was all so good! And then my brothers and sister decorated my bed so when I woke up I was confused, and they decorated a birthday chair for me!!! I LOVE my family!! Yesterday I was talking to two girls in Kung-Fu named Diana, and Briana (they're sisters) and telling them about my birthday. I kept laughing because they were saying," Girl, you're going to need a walker, and dentures for your birthday presents this year......because you're old !!!" Then all the girls started telling me how old I looked to them. Briana said "15". Caterpillar said "25". And Diana said "400"! I told them I

And her name was Ms. Bossy Pants

There's this girl in my brothers church class. Her name is Ms. Bossy Pants . Just from her name you can find that she likes to boss people around, even if they're three times bigger than her! In sharing time she was in the row in front of where I was sitting. I was talking to the girl next to me trying to block out Ms. Bossy Pants bossiness. Then she turned around and started doing her signature move(rubbing her index fingers together and saying,"For shame."Oh! And shaking her head at the same time!) Isn't she such a little multi- tasker ? She started with the,"For shame Sunbum . For shame, your not suppose to be talking right now." (In my defence we still hadn't started class yet.) But that was enough for me, I didn't care if her mom was behind me(telling her mom is her only defence). Who is she to tell me what to do? Then the evillest plan popped into my head. I smiled wickedly at her. Then I turned to the girl next to me and said,"Oh loo

The Office Extravert

Before the pandemic I was a very social person. I had a PACKED social calendar, and constantly sought to be around people. I would host weekly game nights, friend dinners, and group outings. During and post-pandemic I was left with a lot of social anxiety and depression, and that really impacted my ability to socialize with others. I was convinced that one of the lasting symptoms of COVID was introversion.  When I first started working in my current office, I was still recovering from teacher burnout. I felt drained after any social interaction, and felt overwhelmed in highly populated areas (i.e. the grocery store). Anyway, when I started working in the office, I told my parents daily about how chatty people in the office were. I frequently said, "Wow, everyone in the office is so chatty. They just stop by my desk to talk to me all the time. Sometimes I get behind in my work because people stop so often.*" *I feel the need to clarify that I am constantly weeks ahead of sched
