Blessings in Disguise

I feel like my blog is really boring looking. There are several excuses for that...number 1 I don't consider myself to be very computer techy so I just don't really worry about it hahaha and number 2 I always put all my pictures up on facebook so I never really want to upload them twice! But anyway this week has been pretty good. I had Monday off which was great! I wish we had 4 day weeks all the time. I spent my labor day with some of my very favorite people Dave, Melissa, and the kids. I seriously love spending time with them. We can just chill and hang out and do nothing and it's still a blast. The kids are so stinking funny! I went up there Sunday evening and spent the night and spent the day with them on Monday. We went to the pool in their neighborhood for the last day that it was open and we also made a ton of delicious kabobs. I went back to Provo Monday evening and got ready to go back to school. The week was good and I kept really busy. Tuesdays I had class pretty much all day. I had my first physics lab class...I'm not sure how I'll like that class. We ended up having to do the lab twice because the instructions were confusing and we had a hard time knowing which data to use. Hopefully, it will get better and be more fun as time goes on, I'll just have to keep and open mind and a good attitude right?! Wednesday was a really fun day. I went to my classes. I have swimming on Monday's and Wednesday's and I really love that class. It's great to be back in the water but I can totally tell that I've lost some of the skill that I had when I swam two hours every day. A few times during the semester we have to do a timed 650 yard swim. We did our first one on Wednesday and it was pretty hard, I finished in really good time but I was tired when it was over. I also have class with the one and only Kennedy Rushing on Mon, Wed, and Fri which is fun. I'm really glad that I can see her frequently still even though we aren't living together this year :) So after classes on Wednesday I went down to CrossFit Utah Valley. It was so fun. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming and we had a really good WOD. I'm so glad that I know there's somewhere I can go for that CrossFit community that I miss all the time! Thursday, I went to classes. Thursday's are nice because I just have Volleyball and physics. I had my first meeting with the ETSC (engineering and technology student council). We have Club Rush coming up this week. That's when all of the different engineering clubs within the engineering and technology college set up a booth and try to get more members. It's a big project but I love having something to be involved in. I can learn a lot from the people in the council and I think it's going to be a great experience for me this year. Friday's are fabulous because I can sleep in! I don't have class until 11 so I can get up and take my time in the morning. Classes were nothing exciting, the exciting part came after classes. I came home and got online and clipped coupons! I'm no extreme couponer but I think I did pretty good! I took my coupons and drove to Super Target. I was so proud of myself because I found it all by myself, used coupon,s and bought things that were on sale. I got a good amount of groceries for only $48! I was so proud of myself!! After the store Kennedy came over and we went and go the best shaved ice in Provo. I love it love it love it! I would say the name of the place but I have no idea how to spell it hahaha! Later, after shaved ice I went with my roommates to a game night at one of Jenna's friend's apartments. That was....interesting.... We got there and it was a bunch of UVU people (enough said) they were all nice but they were just a little weird. As time went on more people came and they were all married!! So it was us, the weird UVU people, and a bunch of married people! Hahaha we're still laughing  about it. Saturday I got up early because I had lifeguard tryouts at the RB. To my disappointment I didn't get the job. I was upset. I had been making connections and trying really hard to get the job but it just wasn't in the cards for me. There were only 3 openings and probably 40 people showed up for tryouts. I'm feeling better about it today though. I think that it may be a blessing is disguise. Today I was asked to be the mom for our FHE group. I guess Heavenly Father really likes that position for me because I served all last year as the FHE mom! I'm happy though I really love this calling. But now that I have this calling I realize that if I had got the lifeguard job I would really have no time to get anything done. My Monday nights are now taken, plus all of my studies I'm going to be plenty busy. I was doing my Doctrine and Covenants reading yesterday and I came across a verse that really touched me and I know that it was exactly what I needed for this situation. The verse said to not run or labor more than you have strength and to pray always that you may come off conqueror. I just have to trust in the Lord and His plan for me. Like my Mom said as long as I'm keeping the commandments and saying my prayers everything is going to be ok.
