the perfect day

the perfect friday, it was the first day in over three months where i didn't have to set an alarm to wake me up. i woke up at 9:30, heard the rain falling outside my window. i jumped out of bed and opened the blinds and window wide open. i walked out to the living room and picked out 5 movies to watch over the day. i popped them into my dvd player and started my day watching elf. after elf, i decided to make some lunch and watch easy a. i rearranged my walls and my desk, it looks great. (no photo currently). i decided to paint a blank canvas i had sitting in the corner of my window. went to di with my roommate julia, it was very unsuccessful. came back, made hot cocoa, listened to christmas music and finished up my painting. now the rest of my day is to go to work and study for my upcoming tests.

it was the perfect friday.

all i'm missing is my best friend, i miss him so.

& now it's snowing.

sometimes

sometimes, i want to lay in bed all day and watch chick flicks and forget there is a world outside my window

sometimes, i want to hide from everyone

sometimes, i want to scream on top of my lungs and fall to the ground

sometimes, i put on single ladies as loud as it goes and sing it as loud as i can and dance around my apartment

sometimes, a simple phone call can you make you so happy you cry

sometimes, you just need to pray and peace will overcome you

sometimes, when it is the hardest to pray, its when you need to pray the hardest

saint george temple

the saint george temple is in my top three favorite temples, right behind the draper, and the washington dc. Joe was nice enough to take a quick stop at the temple so i can snap a few pictures.
