20 February aaah, it's been a long time...Well it has been awhile since I have written in my blog. I really have had things to be grateful for, but for some reason I feel like my life has all the sudden become super-busy and i'm still adjusting to new schedules, etc. I can't believe that June 1st is 100 days away!!! Who knows the real date when brady will get home, but at least when it is june, i will know that it is really really close! Next week I start my in-school practicum next monday in Lehi, and I know that my life will be soooo hectic! But I feel like overall, my life is starting to pick up and I have many things to look forward to. I could try to go back and say what i've been grateful for for the past 10 days, but it would take forever, and so i'll just start again today.
1)I am grateful that today I got to sleep in. I went on a road trip to southern utah over the weekend, and I didnt get much sleep, so today i spent recovering.
2)I am grateful that I got to talk to Brady this morning. He called three times! I was so tired, I dont remember the conversation, but it was so nice to hear his voice. I feel like we've been close lately, and Ive been really grateful for that.
3)I am grateful that I got all my laundry done today. I havent done it all in FOREVER, and I finally got it all done. It of course was not as bad as i thought it would be.
4)I am grateful that my friend Mary called me tonight. I havent talked to anyone all day, and I was feeling a bit lonely, and so i was so excited when the phone rang.
5)I am grateful that Brady got back safely from his convoy yesterday. I always worry a little bit when I know he is leaving the base, but nothing bad happened, and so I was grateful when he called this morning and I could quit worrying about it. 09 February tomorrow is friday!So today was a LONG day! Thursdays are my tough days! Brady usually calls me at 5am on Thursdays, and so it is now 6:20pm and i have been up for 13 hours... I'll sleep good tonight. I love talking to him of course though!
1)I am grateful that I made it to class this morning! Somehow I pulled myself out of bed, even though I was so tired. I need to quit complaining about being tired or Brady's going to quit calling... lol
2)I am grateful for my friend Mary. She gives me a hug everyday when I come to class! Heaven knows I can always use a hug!
3)I am grateful that Brady was in a good mood this morning. Not that he's ever horrible, but he was just being really cute and funny, and it cheered me up and got my day off to a good start.
4)I am grateful that my neighbor came over to talk today. I was so bored, and so it was nice to hang out with someone!
5)I am grateful that I got to talk to my mom today. I'm glad that our relationship has gotten better since I've been married. 08 February halfway done with the week!So wednesday is almost over! I had a good day in school today. I got to talk to Brady between my classes as usual, and it cheered me up. I ran some errands and then came home, and now i'm just relaxing until work!
1)I am grateful for the relaxing day I had yesterday. I didnt even get dressed till like 2pm. I wasnt feeling 100% though, so it was wonderful to just relax.
2)I am grateful that I made it to school on time even though I was having a hard time getting out of bed this morning. I didnt even forget anything! AND I got a good parking spot!!
3)I am grateful that Brady reminded me that it is our 2 yr 11 month anniversary today. He is so cute to remember things like that. So 35 months... haha, that seems like a lot, but I know it's not. Oh well. It made me smile to think about.
4)I am grateful for the reese peanut-butter cup shake from Sonic that I just had. It is my all time favorite dessert, and it makes my day whenever I treat myself to one!
5)I am grateful that I was able to have a good phone conversation with a friend last night. I was upset about something that happened last night with an old friend, and our friend Jared really calmed me down about and let me vent for a couple of hours. He is one of Brady's best friends, and has been a great friend to me as well, and I appreciate him. 07 February lets pretend it's mondayHere are the things I was grateful for yesterday:
1)I am grateful that I got invited to someone's house for FHE/dinner. It was so nice of the Carroll's to invite me! I haven't gotten to have FHE in forever, and so it was nice!
2)I am grateful that I had the day completely off. I was bored, and had nothing to do, so it was just nice to vege.
3)I am grateful that Brady finally emailed me another picture! We bought him a lovely new digital camera before he left, and he never sends me pictures because "it takes too long to upload." Whatever. Anyway, so it was a lovely surprise to see his lovely face in my email!
4)I am grateful for the friends I have made at school. I was talking to one of my friends yesterday and she told me that I was her hero for how i've handled this whole situation with Brady being gone. I assured her I really am completely falling apart on the inside, i just fake it at school, and so I'm really not that strong of a person, but she told me she really looks up to me for it. I still think she's mistaken, but it was nice of her to say.
5)I am grateful that I got a load of laundry done! I always have to pat myself on the back for that one because usually Brady is the one who moves laundry around and I fold it and put it away. I think I only have two more loads to go. However, this makes me think of something else that I am grateful for. I am grateful that I have a washer and dryer of my very own. They were the first things that Brady and I bought for our apartment, and I was so excited! It is so convenient. My laundry would NEVER get done if I had to go elsewhere!!
After today is through, I will write another entry for today! I know the suspense is just killing everyone... haha yeah right. 05 February a good sundayHooray for sundays. I had a really great day today. Brady called last night and also this morning, so that was nice! He is still carrying on about my secret valentines day presents... so the anticipation is killing me.
1)I am grateful that I went to my grandparents' house tonight. My grandparents, my aunt and uncle and i watched the super bowl, and it was really fun. I was glad I didnt have to spend the evening alone.
2)I am grateful that I used the footpedals for the first time in sacrament meeting! My practice payed off! I'm sure no one noticed, but I did, and it made me feel good.
3)I am grateful that our new family pictures came in! I got my copes at my grandparents' house tonight, and i'm so excited that now I have an excuse to buy more picture frames!! Brady will be THRILLED!
4)I am grateful that I have successfully finished FOUR weeks of school! It has gone by really fast, and I'm learning a lot. I hope the time continues to fly... that means it will be soon that Brady is coming home...
5)I am grateful that the weather was a little bit warmer today. It almost got to 50 degrees! When it starts getting warmer and warmer, that means it is closer and closer to when brady is coming home!!! :) 04 February oops i missed a couple days!! OH NO!Oops! I have been pretty busy the last couple of days, and I guess I forgot to do my gratitude journal!
1)I am grateful that I was able to go to my friend Mary's house last night to do homework. Although we didnt really get much done except watching a movie and playing dance-dance revolution... but it was so nice to have company and just relax and hang out!
2)I am grateful for the guy who, upon seeing that the hot pocket I was trying to purchase from a vending machine was stuck, came and bought one just so that I could have mine. He even already had a lunch and everything! What a nice guy!
3)I am grateful that even though Brady and I had a rough week, that things are okay now. I've been a wreck lately, but he's so patient and loving with me--I really am grateful for his friendship.
4)I am grateful for the friends I am making in my class. It has been so helpful to have people everyday make me laugh and ask about brady. It really cheers me up.
5)I am grateful that I got my key to the church building. The other day I went up to practice the organ, and it went well. But more importantly, I sat down and played the piano for a long time. It is hard to explain, but there is something so therapeutic to me about playing a real piano as opposed to my keyboard. Especially the grand piano in the chapel. The vibration from the piano into my fingers is so comforting, I dont know how to explain it. I'm glad that the Lord blessed me with musical talents. It heals my soul and touches me in a way I cant describe. 02 February quick quick!its already almost 1am, so i must be quick in today's entry...
1)I am grateful that it is February! That is one month closer to June!
2)I am grateful that I got out of class an hour early today... it was great to be able to relax a little bit more.
3)I am grateful that I worked with my friend Jared tonight. He really cheered me up.
4)I am grateful that I got to take a nap today. Stupid birth control makes me so tired!!
5)I am grateful that when I sat down late to think of learning activities for tomorrow's science class, I immediately thought of two ideas, quickly put them together, and now I can go to bed! Sometimes I'm not so lucky when it comes to coming up with ideas fast! |
