I'm back into the swing of things.
That includes capital letters at the beginning of my sentences. (for today)
My morning began at 8:00am
Quite the accomplishment since it was a holiday, a holiday that no one even celebrates...
Not complaining.
I "worked out" in my living room while the bread dough I had made the previous night was cooking away in the oven.
It was beautiful.
I sliced it up and froze it.
Pre-made breakfast for a long time!
Then I had that crazy urge to clean (again)
and did so.
My room mate asked me if it was cleaning checks.
No, I just like keeping things clean.
I plan on being an organized, clean, and neat woman my family will actually enjoy being around, thank you very much.
So don't look at me like that.
Also, I fixed the pillows that go on my couch.
They look quite lovely.
Being all healthy healthy I ate a wrap for lunch.
As a step up I ate it with a fork and knife.
Yes, I am that classy.
For homework I am to read one of the most boring chapters written in the history of mankind.
Paris à Vol d'oiseau from Notre Dame de Paris
Forget that.
I'll do it tomorrow.
My mentor teacher from China sent me a recommendation letter this morning to be used for job applications.
He said many wonderful things, and then this:
"Amandine has a quiet but cheerful personality"
Obviously, I was only there for three months...
I think he missed something vital here.
For Papa's birthday I decided to put my christmas gift (muffin recipe book) to use and wow everyone including myself.
Success.
So I made mini muffins, and to ensure that they wouldn't fail I watched them like a hawk.
Literally...
Oh, but they turned out so cute!!
I am so proud of myself:)
I've never tried muffins before.
If all else fails in my life I will become the next muffin (wo)man and bake all day long.
No big deal.
Today was one of those decent days where nothing amazing was planned and I was positive not to run into anyone too important so I let my color scale go crazy and wore this piece of work:
I liked it.
It was liberating.
Not pictured: bright red christmas socks and multicolored striped shoes.
Facebook account was deleted.
Sweet relief.
I was studying in the scriptures this morning all about how fantastic Alma and Amulek were!
What awesome examples.
At one point they are forced to watch children, women, those who believed in their words and sacred records turn to ashes.
Amulek says to Alma, "Behold, perhaps they will burn us also."
To which Alma responds, "Be it according to the will of the Lord."
Boom.
I want to develop that attitude in my life.
No matter what happens, if it's for the right reasons then it's for the right reasons.
God knows exactly what He is doing.
He is shaping us into better people and helping us reach our full potential.
He loves us and knows us individually.
No matter how crazy things get, I want to trust in Him and let it be according to His will.
Happy times ahead!
