Return..

Yeah, I've been slacking on blogging. And I have no excuse since I have no job. The last month or so has been eventful in some ways. I'm now a resident of Orem--Sarah and I moved in with Aunt Tracy and Uncle Jay. We'll be here until Emily's house is finished. In the meantime, I've been trying to find a job. I'm deathly sick of interviewing for jobs, so I'm hoping something comes through soon. Also, Sarah and I have been watching Prison Break--we're addicted. We're going to a YSA ward now. I'm trying to have a great attitude about it. We'll see how that goes. Yesterday I had my getting-to-know you interview with Bishop Barlow. Sarah and I both talked to him about working in the temple. I need to get a job so I can find out when I'll be able to work there.
We had our family reunions these past two weekends. It was sooo great to see the family :)
Que mas? Oh, I started a new personal study program. I was thinking about how amazing it is that we have so many words from the prophets via the Ensign. Then I started thinking about how I'm accountable for those words even if I choose not to read them. I wasn't very comfortable with that idea lol. Sooo...I started with the April 1974 Conference issue of the Ensign, and I'm studying all the talks. It'll take me ages and ages if I try to read all the way til the most recent issue, but I figure it's worth it. So far it's been incredible. There are some golden talks I'd never heard of by general authorities I didn't know existed.
I was also thinking about how much I love quotes. I really really really really really love quotes. I'm trying to think of a way I can put that love to constructive use. Hopefully I can come up with something soon.
I had a hard week at the beginning of July, but I got through that, and now I'm feeling very happy and very blessed. It really is a blessing how things have turned out in my life. I shudder to think of the way my life might have been had things gone a bit differently. Thank heaven my life didn't go the way I had hoped it would at one point lol.
