my day in a nutshell. feb 19.

1. after waking up approximately 17 times last night, 

i got up, got ready, went through my talk and got to church early.

2. gave my talk alongside two wonderful people.

ashley is one of the strongest and most real girls i know.

chris testified. no better way to say it.

what a beautiful sacrament meeting!

and what a blessing to be a part of it!

3. my stomach growled a lot.

and there was no food in my purse!

4. i saw the coolest tie i've ever seen at church.

it looked like this.

obviously fitting since tomorrow is president's day... ?

5. i love president uchtdorf's talk "you matter to him."

so happy to be reminded of it today.

6. introduced lindsey {my ward roomie} to scramble with friends.

you'd think i could have more self control. but no, it's way too fun.

7. found some candy in my pocket! breakfast!
and shared with new friends.

8. attended ward council.

i love ward council. 

i love hearing how much our leaders care about the individuals in the ward.

i love participating in the work.

and that room is wonderfully warm.

seriously, it makes me really happy.

9. my visiting teachers visited me.

and i have now decided that my future children may not jump on trampolines...

no broken growth plates for them.

10. got princess3 to play scramble with friends with me...

again, it's that fun.

11. the padre is obsessed with pinterest.

our dinner mainly consisted of new recipes from that blessed website.

{princess3 and i just exchanged smiles

 as the padre talked about everything he found.}

it was the cutest thing ever.

ingredients to the padre's surprise new dessert from pinterest.

12. tjab, princess1 and josh came over.

13. tjab kept turning me into animals 

until i stole the wand and turned him into a few things...

tjab as a snail.

tjab as a monkey.

14. tjab and i killed some dragons and

after dinner we sang some songs, acted out "goldilocks"

{one of tjab's favs}

and cuddled while we watched little einsteins.

15. did a little indexing.

not a bad sunday if you ask me.

16. except when one of my beautifully long nails broke a little.

despite the trauma, my grandma would be impressed at their length.

i'll try not to cry.
night.
