Today I...

-went to a cycling class at the gym.

-visited the REI Summer Sale and spent more than intended on stuff that I will use A LOT.

- wanted to scream at the actress in the night show (we'll call her Emily, cause that's her name) that I can't stand because she treats me and my cast like dirt for no reason at all, but I didn't because she's not worth it.

- taught Robbie how to use the pedals on his tricycle and was so proud of him when he did it.

-lay in the hammock and read Harry Potter.

- sat in an ant farm and got covered in the little guys before realizing it.

In general, today was a great day. It was also VERY similar to all of my other days.

Somebody

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
He'll get my support
He will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
He'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact he'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
He will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of

Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

(I changed the "she" to "he")

While I am loving that song right now because it explains so much of how I feel, I am also COMPLETELY fine with not finding that Someone right this very second.

Emotions

When I'm holding a newborn baby I can't help but ponder a bit about the Plan of Salvation. Where was this little girl yesterday? What does she remember? If she could speak, what amazing things would we be learning. The "miracle of life" really is amazing. I spent a lot of today thinking about it, and most of the time in that hospital room was emotional for me. I don't know why...it just was.

Then, I spend the evening with Gran. There is nobody more selfless than she is. She is the most amazing person I know. Maybe one of the coolest things about her is that she doesn't realize how incredible she is. If I can one day be half the person that she is, I will consider myself lucky.

Today was a good day.

Singles Ward!

After spending a week in Sandy with no friends, I was very excited to go to a singles ward and make some friends. Oh don't worry, I now have something to do EVERY. NIGHT. THIS. WEEK.

Seriously, what do people who aren't Mormon do for friends when they move?

Speaking of singles wards, remember Will Swenson?



He had a wonderful performance at the Tony awards tonight.



HAIR. Ya, that is the musical that involves an entire cast completely naked onstage. Oh Will...

I LOVED the Tony Awards though. Seriously, best awards show ever.

Finally, look at the masterpiece that Katie and I created today. So beautiful.

I find it extremely difficult to mesh the different chapters of my life into one big book. They are all fragmented parts where one part ends and another begins. Maybe that's why I have such a difficult time with goodbyes.

Anyway, work at Lagoon seems to be going well. I have these 6 actors that are fun to work with. I have high hopes for the summer. I'm excited to go to my new singles ward on Sunday because of the potential of so many new friends. I'm also excited for my schedule to be 12-6 instead of 5-10.

Tomorrow is my last "day" where I won't be working until I'm done at Lagoon. I'm telling myself now that I'm going to use this day wisely by going hiking and stuff, but as I look at the clock I wonder what is actually going to happen. I should go to bed.

Here are a couple of Graduation pictures that I feel like I'll forget to post if I don't do it now. It was such an awesome day! I had an emotional breakdown at the end, but AJ bailed me out of that one. I really do have the best family ever.
