1. After having TERRIBLE dreams and not being able to sleep AT ALL because of it, I was in a horrible mood while laying in bed waiting for the sun to come up. I said my morning prayer, hopped outta bed, and BOOM. Instantly better mood.
2. Larry said M and I were amazing today after we finished our job (made perfect with his thick southern drawl)! He's the best boss ever. AND he let us go 10 minutes early.
3. I got to make dinner.. tried a new recipe for shepherds pie and it turned out BOMB.
4. YESTERDAY my toe nail finally fell off!
5. M made me laugh so hard today I cried. Laughing makes me forget everything bad in the world.
6. Got to talk to my dad on the phone. He's a pretty cool guy, if I do say so myself.
7. My mom joked around with us. It's so fun to see her sarcastic side because it doesn't come out too often.
8. Got to see and get a hug from Sister P. She just brightens my life.
9. Cuddled with Millie girl.
10. I got to work physically hard today, which I love. It helped to relieve stress and forget about anything bad! --Focusing on good.--

1. Today I realized how GOOD life is. I am SO excited to be going back to school this winter, yet also so excited to be staying home this fall to work and hang out with my family. I'm really really happy. AND, I don't have to do ANY dating for FOUR WHOLE MONTHS! YES! Except I miss it already, so no... ;)
2. Temple prep.. I love everything about the temple!
3. Laughing:
 When M read my mind at work this morning because we forgot to turn on the electric fence in Moro yesterday.. wooops.
On the way out of Pend to Moro today, taking a sneaky shortcut to avoid construction.
I was in the bathroom when Millie girl busts in, throws her hands into the air and says, "WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE??!" So cute.
4. I was able to swim a whole mile! I'm falling in love with swimming rather quickly. I love running and biking because it gives me time to think, but I love swimming because I don't have to think. It's just 1-2-3 BREATHE 1-2-3 BREATHE.. over and over again. I love it.
5. I've just been in a good mood. Things that should be bringing me down, don't! "God has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand his wisdom, we simply have to trust his will." I'm just going with the flow, seeing where He takes me.. and everything is so good because of it.
6. Danny Wu was caught. Pend is a safer place again.

1. S took me on a DATE! Which I had been praying for (weird thing to pray for? yes. oh well. They're fun and I need fun!:))
2. M drove so I could sleep all the way to Moro.
3. Got to work in Moro! 4 hours paid driving. Can you say relaxing?
4. Got to bike AND swim tonight.
5. Saw an old friend from hs and A-mon at the RAC. (If you know me, you know that I love being around people I know.. at least some familiarity. I find great comfort in it and it makes me stronger in every aspect. So seeing those two men really made life BETTER.)
6. YESTERDAY- M and I lost the meter stick at work. M accidentally left it on the tailgate and it fell off. We looked all over for it but couldnt find it, so I said a little prayer in my head that we could find it.. and what do ya know? We found it. :)
8. Somehow managed to get up early this morning. I LOVE EARLY MORNINGS.

Elder Eyring's talk O Remember, Remember has motivated me to keep this blog daily of little ways the Lord has blessed me/answered my prayers/sent tender mercies. I want to be able to look back on it as a testimony that God knows me personally.

1. When I got home, Millie did her little body-lean hug.. so cute and funny.
2. LARRY CAME BACK! to work. (Added with a break from Antonio :))
3. Got to take M with me to the Nelson quinoa plots.. felt so much safer. I get kind of scared going up there by myself lately since it's so far away from everyone AND theres a killer on the loose.
4. Pop Tarts came out with a new flavor.. chocolate PB. MY FAVE.
5. McK reminded me to just trust in God. Needed that.
6. Got to run 4 miles! And found someone who wants to train with me.
7. Mommabear was happy (about genealogy) when I came home! Made a big difference in our home.
8. M taught me how to change the oil in my car.
9. Family prayers.
