Goodbye, Hello

To be completely honest, it's been a struggle learning to love President Monson as much as I did President Hinckley.

I love President Hinckley so much. He is one of my greatest inspirations to do good. I have a picture of him hanging in my room and whenever I don't feel like reading my scriptures or saying my prayers I look over at his picture and feel as if I'm disappointing him. I feel like I have this close relationship with him and I've never even met him! When I was going through the refiner's fire, I felt like he was there guiding me forward. I feel like my conversion process started because of him. It was when he gave his challenge to read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover that I felt like I was truly converted. I love this man. He is like the grandpa I never had. At his funeral, I sobbed and sobbed wondering what I was going to do without him! I wanted so badly for him to be back to his wife, but I also wanted to be selfish and keep him longer. I want to live my life in such a way that I can meet and marry a man like Gordon B. Hinckley.

So, here is this man who is taking his spot. Called of God and trusted to lead His children. Why am I struggling so much? I'm not sure. But today I had a break through. I was reading in the scriptures about Lehi's dream and how Nephi desired to know the things of his fathers dream. Even though Lehi was a prophet and received revelation that he shared with his family, Nephi desired to know for himself. Although I knew President Monson was called of God simply because he was next in line, I had to know for myself. I need to love this man in order to follow him like I should. So, here I am now. I testify that Thomas S. Monson is a living prophet today. He is a mouthpiece of our Heavenly Father. He is to lead and direct us today, back home.

The Story of My Sickness - Watermelon

I absolutely love snow and everything winter entails, but here some VERY big reasons why I love summer:

1. WATERMELON
2. MY BIRFDAY
3. WATERMELON
4. Other cool summer stuff

Here's the story, in pictures...

Just lounging around...trying to figure out to do with my life...

Then, I realized...I COULD BUY WATERMELON!
So, I bought two.
I cut all the rind off...And diced it all up...
Got uber excited!!!Praised the Lord for His Tender Mercy!
Started eating them one by one...trying to savor...
Then pigged out, man!
Completely sick out of my mind.
Haha, Fooled You. That's not Possible.

But I did make a new friend...Potifer
The End. My Life is Complete.

The Aaapartment

This is me after I drank a Sunkist. I know, no caffeine, but carbonated beverages and sugar other than candy have a weird effect on me. Sometimes I go crazy to keep things hoppin' in the "Aaapartment." This name was just formed after some deliberation. The "Aa" stands for Audrey and Ada. We sometimes shorten it to Aaaaaaaaaaah. :)

Gettin' Started!

This blogging thing seems like it could become very addicting!

Life has taken some different turns lately in my life, for good and bad.

Right now I am living in an apartment with Ada Skoch for the summer and that seems to be going great for now. Her brother and sister-in-law lived in it previously and moved to Texas for the summer, so we're keeping up the place while they're gone. It's very little compared to the house I lived in before, but I'm making adjustments as they seem fit. I have since then became very organized and I really like cooking and cleaning for myself and a messy roommate! :)

I'm taking a summer class at NWACC. I found out that since I took Anatomy and Physiology I at NWACC (due to classes filling up at the University of Arkansas), I have to take Part II. I started the class on the 27th and it seems enjoyable enough. It starts at 5:00 pm and ends at 8:50 on TWTH. This is a huge conflict with working Avalon and currently I only work on Saturdays. I got an application for Cracker Barrel and haven't turned it in yet, due to my horrendous fear of the unknown. Also, I have separation anxiety with leaving Avalon since my boss, Betty, has been so good to me and it's like leaving part of my family.

Last semester was kinda hectic due to the sudden appearance of an attractive young man whom I wanted to spend every waking minute with. Marc Clune and I have been dating since February and things are going very well. One minor detail is he left on May 3rd for California for the summer. It seems so trivial, but dating for less time than he will be gone is kind of hard to swallow. We have hit many rough spots since my over-the-phone communication skills aren't the best, but things are leveling out. It's hard not being able to tell him everything that I did during the day and have him make me laugh. I keep trying to focus on the fact that things will be amazing when he gets back.

These are the most pressing matters and my next posts won't be as long. :)
