i take it allll back.

well... i spoke too soon. serves me right!
we still have some good options of places that we could move to...we are going to look at another one in about an hour.
the super cute condo...turned out to be a condo split into 4 condos....translation it was ITSY BITSY!
there is another option that we both loved when we first saw it..but after we thought about it for a little while neither of us thought that it was really the best thing for us to do right now.
so...maybe a summer back east is still in the cards for us? we will see.
and next time before i get overly excited about something...i will make sure we have decided for sure. haha.

i rocked the turquoise sweater today.
i loved it.
i felt sassy.
i walked a little taller all day.
what a good feeling.

i should be reading my 47 pages about Islamic philosophy...but seriously, who really wants to do that? not i.
school is really kicking my butt this week. i honestly can't really believe that it is only wednesday night. this week is positively crawling.

i went visiting teaching tonight. it really was a small blessing. it was what i needed to do tonight. isnt it funny how this works...i have so much that needed to get done tonight. i was tired and cold. it was raining outside. i didn't want to do anything really. but i went. and i feel just a little bit better. (only a little...haha) but i have the greatest companion. she's lots of fun. and so positive. who doesn't like to hang out with a positive person?? note to self...be positive...people will want to be your friend!

one of my favorite parts of the lesson tonight was this quote by Elder Worthlin:

"It takes a great amount of faith to say the simple words "We just can't afford that."" 

oh how hard it is sometimes for me to say those words (haha..simple?? says who?!)

i like buying things. i like having new things. i like having new clothes...ie turquoise sweaters and new gold heels. its hard for me. i really need to work on that.

oh how i love this little boy. i guess he isn't so little is he? he really is one of the sweetest boys that i know. when we were younger (okay i wasnt so much younger...it was more like when i was in high school) we just didn't get along. our personalities clashed. but every now and then we would have this little moment where i knew that we were so much like each other. i see so much of my personality in him. it's almost funny!! i love him so much. i have the best brothers. and i love him so much.
