Rest in Love Val Meli

One of the girls I used to hang out with at the Y passed away recently. It is so weird. She left several beautiful children and a husband. They lost their son several years ago so I am happy she is reunited with him at least BUT it is still freaky to me that she died. It seems like it happened out of nowhere. They were sealed in the temple however which is an awesome assurance her family has to comfort them. She served a mission to Japan. She had an amazing testimony and I am grateful to have had her as a friend.

She was a beautiful jazz AND Hawaiian dancer. Although I haven't associated with her for years I was also told she was an amazing wife and mother.

When I first started job-hunting there was a public librarian job at the Springville public library. My mother was watching BYU-TV yesterday and  they played a story about some lady who was old like me and still single who felt she should work in some remote town where she met and married her husband. My patriarchal blessing is VERY clear and it states my father-in-heaven will bless me WHEREVER I CHOOSE to reside, MEANING I GET TO CHOOSE THIS!!! I looked into this because I always hear these stories about people being led specifically to certain cities or towns because they feel Heavenly Father wants them there.

Lauresa and Melissa had that happen to them. Annoying was also led to move to Logan BECAUSE he would find his wife here. I am sooo grateful I met Curtis when I did because I was getting psychotic and seeing annoying all over the place BUUUT I don't know how much of that was imaginary and how much wasn't. I needed to meet someone that fine to get me to think about someone, ANYONE else. Curtis is EXACTLY what I needed. He looks like a model, dresses well, and takes care of himself WITHOUT the gay vibe that usually accompanies that. I am not sticking around here long enough to become anything more than his friend BUUUT that is alright. He fits ALL the stereotypes I have about Cache Valley BUUUT he also defies them. He is intelligent without a graduate degree, stylish AND raised and lives in Wellsville, he helps on his family farm but he doesn't live at home still, he likes Stevie Nicks who is rock rather than country AND he is very fine BUUUT he definitely isn't a player and while he is confident in his appearance he is down-to-earth and even has a psychotic friend like Carline. He is kind and I'm glad he's my friend.

We are playing cricket for FHE today. That is such an annoying thing to do. He even follows the scores of professional? cricket teams. Cricket reminds me of Jason Harris who I grew up with in Tongan. His name definitely doesn't sound Tongan although he is full Tongan. He would always try to get the neighborhood kids at Liahona to play cricket but it never really caught-on. Tongans in general never really embraced cricket although the Samoans have and they have cricket leagues in Samoa.

Since it is one of my last FHE's I'm going to attend although I'm going to change my shoes at lunchtime.
