Awww yeahh.

So today was such a crazy day. I seriously never stopped moving! So I went to bed at like 3 in the morning then woke up at 5 to go up to the airport with Aiti and Anna. Definitely slept the whole way there... and we kinda took a wrong turn. Then we kinda scrambled around the airport until Anna was at the gate and went out of sight. Now she's in flippin' Hawaii! I really hope its fun for her, she definitely deserves it.
So we drove home from the airport and stopped at the store to pick up some things and I got a NEW TRANSFORMERS POSTER! AWW YEAH! It has Bumblebee on it. He's my fav. :) He's such a sweetie!
Then I got home and got on the computer and Beqi was on, and she was like, "HEY!" and so we decided to hang out! And as she came to get me we passed Leman and we did like a really quick maneuver to get to him, and we picked him up. Then we went to Beqi's house, watched a TERRIBLY put together movie, and played this random game.. Pig Mania, I think is what it's called. Then we played the longest game of Parcheesi known to man. No lie.
Then I got home and changed and took a shower and such and got ready and then Geli showed up and we went to Avery park and met up with Michael, followed by Matt. Then we threw a frisbee around for a while, then we went up on the Train and climbed around and met the cutest little boy EVER named Mikai, i think. Then we went to the dinosaur bones and decided we wanted milkshakes. So we went to Shari's and Matt was oh-so-kind and payed for them. (Thanks, bud!:D ) Then we went to Wildcat Park and played hide and go seek which was very hard in the dark! AH! And then we swung for a while on the swings, then went and attempted to stargaze but we heard sprinklers so we got up, and ran through them. :D
Then we got bored with that and walked back to the parking lot to find Geli's mom there! We played frisbee for like a minute and decided to go to 7-Eleven to get slurpees, which Geli payed for. (Thanks hon! Man I'm such a mooch..) Then we all piled into Matt's car and drove Michael home... then Matt drove Geli and I back and Geli took me home and stayed and talked for a couple minutes.
But yeah.
Seriously the longest day ever! So fun though.
:) I would love to do it again when I'm not as sleepy.
That was the worst part for sure.
The whole day was fabulous, I bet you wish you lived the life I live!
Now. Rant... I believe in the power of friendship! People don't even realize the influence they have on others and the last effect they can leave. I really try hard to leave a good impression on those I meet so I know that I haven't negatively affected them.
It is always good to trust in the Lord, however, as well as the spirit, when it comes to important decisions that may or may not change your life.
Okay.
My eyes are shutting on their own. And I definitely haven't slept since in the car this morning. So I'm dead tired.
Alright, I suppose that is all.
Love you, Night! :)

Real Quick.

I have about five minutes to post this because I have stuff I am supposed to be doing. But I really want to post.
So.
I have found that I tend to dwell. I mean, all teenagers do it, but I do it a lot.
I wish I had put more time into getting to know my Muumuu. I miss her so much. She really was important to me, and I miss her everyday.
It was a strange feeling, having my birthday this year and not getting a home made card from her. I was her "little fish" and I miss the cards with the fish on them.
She was a really important part of my own mother's life, seeing as she was my mom's mom.
She was an amazing grandma. We have this picture hanging in the living room and she is a little girl in the picture, and I have had a lot of people ask me if it is a picture of me. It isn't, it's a picture of my grandma. I miss her so much.
I am so excited for next February, so I can be baptized for my grandma and she will be happy and be able to live in paradise. I want nothing more than for her to live in paradise.


I need to stop talking about sad things.

As you probably know, I am Laurel's president, meaning I am always with young women, and kind of direct the girls. I love all of the girls in our ward! They are such cuties, and they are inspirations to me. It was so fun going to camp with them last week and seeing how spiritual they are, it really helps my spirit to grow! They all have very unique personalities and ideas. It is so awesome to see the different strengths they have, and how they use their strengths to fill in where they feel they should.
Speaking of YW, we have an activity tonight! We usually have them on Wednesday, but we are doing something special. We are going to Albany to listen to an (apparently) attractive guy sing! It'll be fun. I just need to remember my blanket. :)

Music, Woofy, and Spirituality.

So I have had such a spiritually filling summer! I am so excited! I have been doing everything that I know the Lord would be pleased with, and it is, in turn, making me happy. I love my life, and I am so grateful for the blessing of friends and family who love me. I am grateful for my talents and I am so grateful for the talents that I am able to develop. I am grateful to have the ability to help others, as well as myself. I am grateful for music!

GAHH MUSIC! I FLIPPING LOVE MUSIC! I was actually just in front of my keyboard composing a song in the memory of my dog, Woofy, who really meant a lot to me.

It's kind of weird how sometimes things happen and they make you step back and reevaluate what you have been doing with your life.

Now, I know that to some of you it may seem kind of overly dramatic to say that the passing of my dog made me do that, but it isn't to me. Woofy was the most amazing dog ever, and I loved him so much. He was basically my best friend when I was little, because we lived out in the middle of nowhere and so I didn't have many friends to play with all the time, except the neighbor girls, Chelsea and Sarah, who, by the way, were and still are total sweethearts.
But Woofy was really important to me. I remember several nights where I would fall asleep on the floor and he would come and lay down next to me. He was the funniest dog ever, and used to do the cutest things. If you can't tell that he was important to me, then I'm going to be deeply saddened. Home isn't the same without him here. There is a spirit that is missing and I feel the loss daily. When I heard that Woofy had been put down I burst into tears. I don't know if you can quite understand the mix of emotion I felt at that point, and the thought of that day is bringing me to tears now.
This year has been the most challenging, yet most spiritually filling and uplifting year I have ever experienced. I have felt many trials this year, as I am sure you have also, and I have had many moments that I would not trade for the world. My testimony this year has grown from the size of an olive to the size of a watermelon. I hope to be able to continue to nourish it and cause it to grow so that I can help others feel the spirit too.
That's one of my main goals.

The very beginning!

Hello fine friends. I am going to be using this blog for whatever purposes I choose, it can vary from rants I feel are important to random pictures that I love, but for the most part as a journal! So, to keep updated on all things Sofia, give this blog a look-see. Eh?
