weekends...

weekends are my very very favorite...

i absolutely LOVE them...

they are basically all that i am living for right now...

and the people that fill my weekends are most of why they are so fantastic!!!!

we have done so many fantastic things on our weekends so far...

we went heart attacking...

and had a birthday party for allie...

and watched lion king in the ballroom...

and played on the track while waiting for pizza...

and hiked the Y...

i love love love spring here...

 and we went to the zoo yesterday...

and it was so so so so fun...

and last night rachel jane and heather and i watched anne of green gables...

it is one of my very favorites EVER...

i am in love with gilbert blythe...

and i wish i was more like anne sometimes...

i love rachel and ty and allie...

and curtis and heather and alyssa...

and next weekend is going to be amazing...

we are going to arches!!!!

and then right after i get to go to lake powell with my family!!!!!

i am so blessed...

my life is so wonderful....

and so happy...

and there are a million reasons why....

i am so grateful for everything and everyone...

the people in my life are what makes it so wonderful...

there are two songs that describe perfectly what I feel...

go listen to them...

they are "blessed" by martina mcbride...

and "i could not ask for more" by sara evans

they are perfectly me...

i am so grateful for all i have been blessed with...

and i couldn't ask for more than the things i have been given...

life is beautiful.

things to learn...

to go to sleep... alyssa and i keep staying up talking and i have to be up for work early and it is not working out... that is definitely something that will help how all of the rest of this time goes...

to count more carefully... i messed up my bank account by like a dollar or two when i got back from having my wisdom teeth out and then didn't know the overdraft charge would be as much as it was which messed it up again by just a dollar or two and aghh... it was so frustrating...

how to deal with insurance... no matter what happens call the police first... because companies are ridiculous... and it causes frustration later...

how to hang pictures by myself... i don't think i'm ever going to be able to get alyssa to hang pictures with me and it is driving me CRAZY to have them just sitting around... in fact my goal for tonight is to have the apartment clean and done.

better ways to make work pass by... this afternoon i ran out of things to do (besides clean) but had to cover the front desk anyway and ended up eating popcorn while organizing binders that were already organized...

more time management (or as alyssa would say task-orientedness) ... i still have yet to write in my journal this spring... i promised myself i would and i just haven't found the time... i did make cookies and send them to calvin in the mtc... my goal is to get every boy i know... i might have problems if they go to other mtcs...

more ways to exercise... i really need to get exercising... but the prospect of running up and down the intermural fields is not very appealing... i want like volleyball games and aerobics classes and hiking...

this one is more of a to do than a to learn... but i need to figure out my calendar for spring... if we are going to do fantastic things we have to figure out how they are going to fit in!


love and sunshine... rachel.

p.s. i love compact shelving in the library... it is so so fun!
