Beauty All Around

This week was a little on the insanely-sleep-deprived-and-over-stressed-and-extra-confused side of things. I am so grateful to have survived it - definitely with lots of tears and less than perfect grades, but you know what? My high school experience is one year closer to being over with, and I made it through [mostly] intact!

Some of my friends invited me to go to the Draper Temple with them after school, and I am so grateful I had the chance to go. What a beautiful place to be with beautiful people :)

Even in the middle of my three-finals-day craziness, I held on knowing that soon enough, I would be in my Heavenly Father's house, and be able to feel His peace.

Thank goodness for good friends and good reminders to calm down a little bit!

On another note: 

I have this thing with memories. I love to relive stories and adventures and funny times, but at the same time, it kinda worries me a little bit. When I have an awesome memory of something, it worries me a little to try and repeat it, or recreate it, just incase it doesn't turn out as good as I remember it being. 

What if it isn't everything it was last year? 

What if I'm too different now? 

How can I make tonight as great as the past without comparing too much to the past? 

Ah. I can kinda work myself up sometimes. So, note to self:  just be me. And enjoy it :) you can't live the same thing over and over again, that would be too boring! I have to be willing to accept change, be spontaneous, and enjoy a little bit of adventure.

Things work out...right? 

Right.
