March Madness

So torn as I make my brackets...do I go for who I want to win or how I think it will actually turn out?
On the other hand, there are people suffering in Japan. It seems so surreal and I iwsh that there was something I could do about it.
But I'm here, on Spring Break, sleeping more than I should, but feeling pretty good.
I went to a therapist earlier this week. I really like her and am excited to kick this once and for all, but rather bogged down that it has to be so freakin expensive. Like my parents haven't already spent enough money on this. But I 'm really hopeful that this is a good fit. And I know I need to rely on the Lord. He is so amazing. He just keeps leading me along. How can I doubt His power? He is so aware!
Another thought...I want to marry someone like Austin Beck. Here's why...
-good sense of humor
-strong testimony, gospel insight, EQP, stake clerk-church service
-can also talk deep
-likes sports
-awesome family
-good taste in music
-respectful

anyways...

oh, uno mas-I LOVE THE TEMPLE! I want to live there, I never want to leave. I love the feeling. It gives me more incentive to live worthily so I can be in God's presence forever!

Missonary Musings

I love freshly returned missionaries. I find their awkwardness endearing. This is not a new observation, we all know RMs who go through an adjustment period. Last night I had a bunch of people over from the ward to play games. (It was pretty fun; a lot of people came! It made me feel good that I was the instigator of such merriment; I'm trying to be better about inviting people over and playing the role of the hostess. It's somewhat out of my comfort zone. I love being with people, but I'm not very comfortable with being in charge and I like having boundaries or at least the option to leave whenever I want.)
Back to missionaries...one of the games we played was called "In the Manner of the Adverb." Basically, one person leaves the room and the rest of the group decides on an adverb (for example, "energetically"). When the person comes back into the room they pick a few people to act out a scenario "in the manner of the adverb" and try to guess what that adverb is. It can be pretty hilarious. One of the adverbs we chose was, in fact, awkwardly. At one point, one of the guys used the phrase "So I just got back from my mission..." which made everyone laugh. Ironically, this guys had just gotten back from his mission. He served stateside (not that it matters) and actually seemed fairly normal. It was his fascination with his i-phone that gave him away. Maybe this isn't just an RM thing-I know plenty of people who are obsessed with their i-phones. I just wonder that if these RMs, who have been somewhat out of the technological loop for two years, come home and are overly excited about the new gadgets and toys. It's kind of like how they are excited about songs or movies that have been out for a while.I know i-phones are useful, but personally I think that in many situations, they are unnecessary and annoying.

This is my attempt at blogging!
