It's been a really amazing day and nothing significant has happened. But my heart is full of love and I just feel at peace. I spent the morning working on tasks for my Regional Calling, my Compassionate Services Calling, and working on my research. Then I went to work at Walgreens (where only two people smiled...seriously). On my way home I called and talked to my brother.
Words can not express how grateful I am for this new chapter in our relationship. I've always wanted to be close with my siblings and for various reasons over the years it just never worked out. But now that Adrian is 18 and more mature, we talk and have these awesome conversations. He even took 2 days off from work so that he could spend time with me when I get home next week! I'm excited to be going home, but as always there is a feeling of caution and unease. Hopefully it will be an exciting trip and we will be able to make some good memories. If nothing else, my brother and I will steal one of the cars and hit the road on our own!
Yesterday was also beautiful. I love good Sundays. I mean Sundays are always good, but yesterday was one of those Sundays that leaves you feeling good for the rest of the week. I did the early morning snuggle fest with my roomies (we lie in bed and talk about silly stuff), then we all helped eachother pick out cute outfits for church! (I know I keep saying it...but I love our new house and the new roommate to death) Sacrament was really moving, there were only two speakers but the lessons were about obedience and the happiness that comes with it. Then the lesson in D&C was fantastic. By relief society, I was overwhelmed with the spirit. The lesson in relief society was beautiful. We talked about temple ordinances (specifically the work for the dead) and my heart overflowed because someday (very soon) I will get to do those ordinances for my Grandma. (Wasn't she silly? Man I miss her every day)
After an emotional relief society, I went to my Regional meeting, and then Joseph, Isaac, Sarah, Stephanie, and I made dinner and watched Anastasia. I love ending Sundays surrounded by people I love. I hope I never grow out of that. Honestly, I hope that my life will be filled with people I love. I think that is why today was so peaceful and beautiful. Because in the end it doesn't matter what I accomplish if I don't love first. "The more you care, the stronger you can be."
And if that doesn't work out...I guess I'll have to leave the zoo running and screaming ;)
