Crazy Saturday + Palm Sunday + Insane week ahead + EASTER = I'm grateful to be alive!

So, as normal on my Saturday mornings I woke up EARLY and went to the temple. I went to the 6:30 session and then had breakfast. As usual the Lord has a way for me to stay longer than originally intended in the temple and then still be able to do all that I am needed to do. Before me in the breakfast line was a huge line of youth. And they ran out of French Toast so I had to wait on mine. I thought to myself of how amazing it was that I could stay in the temple just a little longer just nourish my body after nourishing my Spirit and mind! Well, after the temple I went home to get ready to go and send out fliers for work. Well, again the Lord has different plans, and so does work. This is where I'm eternally grateful to my sister! I had to go help get things organized just to make sure all would run smooth, and she went and did the fliers. I was only at work for a few minutes, but at the time I thought of it as a huge pain. However, I have learned that despite what I may think at the time all works out for the better. Let's go back a little bit... I have learned that without sleep I am not a happy camper, but this also means that I need time to myself to learn and grow even if that is just relaxing my mind in some sort, but rest still helps me. So, Friday to Saturday I got a total of 3 hours of sleep. Therefore, when I got called to go to work I realized I wouldn't be able to rest before going to a baby shower that I at first thought was at 11:30 only to look at the invite and see it started at 11. Yeah! CRAZY! So, I went from the temple to home to Layton to home to Roy! I am very grateful I went to that baby shower cause I got to see a friend from college and yeah, all part of the healing process that I've loved! Well, then I came home and got invited to watch the REAL game at my friend's cousin's house and they would have bbq chicken and peach cobbler all made in a dutch oven! The game started at 6:30 and we'd all go over around 6:00. This gave me some time to take a well needed nap and I was smiling when I awoke from it! I like smiling when I wake up! So, on my way to watch the REAL game I stopped to get oreos for that night. See, last night around 10pm we would be at improv in Clearfield to see another friend perform. :) Brewskies (ibc cream soda) and oreos. Let's just say everything went as planned.

Now today being Palm Sunday I reflect and realize that the Lord has truly blessed me in life. First in college he gave me some pretty awesome friends and now I have new pretty awesome friends. I spend much of my fun time with these two guys who have been simply rock stars. Yes, they are way flawed and are imperfect, but they still rock! I am grateful to have met them both and the friendship I have with both of them.

As the week comes along and even though it will be absolute craziness due to how much I'm working I am still VERY grateful to the Lord! I'm excited for Easter because even though it's coming fast this year I am so happy about it! I love my Savior! He is remarkable! :D
