Grateful


Sarah's shower was nice. I love her friend's style. I like how she did the invitations to her shower, she even designed labels she taped to the water bottles. The details make all the difference. I love the way she decorates her home too. I'm picky about that stuff, it is rare for me to meet someone with design choices I liked completely.

Later I went to Jonni's party. The food was very good and it's so nice that she did that for a lot of the ward. As more people arrived since I was done with my food I decided to leave. I backed out of Jonni's driveway and somehow got a stake/pole stuck under my car. I couldn't move and instead went back inside to get some help. Sarah's fiance Aaron was especially helpful. He was wearing a suit but still took it off and laid on the ground to try to figure it out. He said we should say a prayer. He said a beautiful prayer and returned to discussing the best option. Somehow they decided the only way to remedy what happened was to dig a hole near the pole to yank it out. It took Aaron, Josh, AND Glade to take turns digging. Glade got a tarp from somewhere so Aaron or whoever dug didn't need to be in the mud. The grass had just been planted so my car ruined a good portion of it. Jonni was incredibly nice AND helpful. She borrowed shovels from her neighbors. Michael laid under the car and pulle out the pole after they had dug a pretty good sized hole in part of Jonni's yard. They filled the hole again and drove my car back onto the driveway. I am sooo grateful for their help. There is nooo way I would've been able to do that. Michael said he doesn't know how that happened in the first place. Neither do I.

I considered baking my angels something but it is late and so I just went to Walmart and bought some Thank-You cards to go along with some King-sized Resees Peanut Butter Cups. It's also better since Jonni needs something gluten-free.

I saw David at conference. He finished 165 pages or his draft of his thesis. I'm so happy for him. I still haven't heard back from my advisor on my proposal. If he still hasn't answered I'm going to just move ahead. I can't wait forever and I'm in the mode to finish it now. I would've talked to him sooner but he was standing near Jared and I'd feel like I'd have to acknowledge his existence which is sooo NOOOT happening. The stake relief society president talked a little about home and visiting teaching. It made me think of David. He's not my home teacher but I treat him like he is because I know despite any drama we may have had he will help me when I need it WITHOUT expecting anything in return. He is the only person I feel comfortable doing that with in Logan. I'm glad to have him as a friend.

Conference was great although my overwhelming feeling was gratitude for what just transpired. Anyone who stayed to help me was late to conference. Not a whole lot but STILL late. I got there during the first talk. I didn't have to change or clean up. I drove straight to conference. Everyone made me feel so much better. I felt like crying. I felt so helpless. Jonni said it was just grass. I am so blessed and so grateful. David's roommate Darryl gave what I thought was the best talk of the night. He spoke about personal revelation and how we may receive daily personal guidance.

Time to sleep. I'm so glad conference is at 10am tomorrow.
