Ramblings...

For my Job this week, we are camped out at Sammy's Cafe in Rexburg to buy books off of Students and anyone, really, who wants to sell a book worth any value. I come every morning at 9 am on the dot and leave around 6 pm-ish. It isn't too bad. What I love though, is that I get to associate with people and with my cousin Heather Megan. Usually everyday, I am by myself from about 11 am -5 pm. It is a little lonely but I am soooo busy that I sometimes I am lucky enough to not notice how lonely it actually is.

Anyway, I have been thinking a lot about wanting to have things to look forward to. I feel like it makes a really big difference to have some kind of Goal, something that gets your heart beating fast with excitement. I remember as a student I would get excited with the thought of Graduation, Going home on school breaks, or something like getting a good grade on a test. It was like there was something to keep me going. Right now, I have a lot of mundane, uneventful things that keep me going like: work, my calling (not that it isn't eventful but it is not like traveling), work some more.... cleaning house, working out....you get the idea. I have this desire to want to have a calendar to write things down that we are doing... but when I pull up a calendar, its like I remember, "Oh yeah... my life is kind of boring right now"... So I am determined to make it fun! Summer is here and the sun is out!!!

A few things I have to look forward to is my cousin's retreat in May!!! YAY!!!!! I cannot wait for this! It is where all the girls in the family, inlaws and sisters, gather for a weekend to basically play and renew themselves. They come without Children and they have to be 21 or older to come. We have a blast every single time! It keeps us all really close. Also this summer, John's mom is going on a tour for her book and she asked me to come with her. I can't wait for that! Also, like I mentioned in the earlier post, we will be going to Canada and there we will be going to see friends like Nate and Emily and Brittany and Kyle!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH! Also, I have never been to Niagra Falls, we will most likely be visting there. :)

And then there is Turkey. For like literally, 2 WHOLE MONTHS. Who even knows where we will travel and what we will be doing!!!!! (That is, if we for sure go... we haven't made "official" arrangements yet but there has been some serious discussion) But back to Going to Turkey, I know that we will be staying in Istanbol, and visiting Troy possibly. I am just going to die. K? Are you kidding me??? Troy?? And Istanbol???? yeah... neither of them mean too much to me right now, but they sound totally cool and I want to go there.

Also, I am anxious to get my tan on this summer. That is something to look forward to for this super white body of mine. It's begging, pleading with me to get some sun and color on it! I have the devil/ angel thing on my shoulders going on while I tan. My fair skin and my blonde hair (The devils advocate) make me question whether tanning is the best idea for my skin and I often wonder if I will get Skin Cancer from that "One time" I decided to lay out. While the sun (The Angel's advocate) is smiling at me and welcoming me to its warmth and rays. It's almost irresistible! I know that if my cousin Buffy were reading this she would shudder to think that I would even let my beautiful skin be in the sun! haha... But she has taught me well, I wear sunscreen EV-ER-Y-DAY! (on my face at least)...SO Sun!- Bring. It. On!

Alright, I'll stop rambling. PEACE!
