i thought your coffee table was more clever than that

This week has been rough.

 AND IT'S ONLY WEDNESDAY.

first there was Sunday..oh man, that was a roller coaster of emotion. 

right before Relief Society (WARD CONFERENCE no less) i found out that i was supposed to be speaking.

ya.

me and Mary had noo idea.

so after feeling shocked/guilty for not being prepared, i go into the cultural hall to face the Stake Reilief Society Presidency..

*duhn duhn duhn*

they're really not scary in the least, but considering the situation, i reallyyyy did NOT wanna go in there.

then, after a couple more minutes of feeling like the worst RS president in the world, the bishop told me i needed to pull up my shrug because it was immodest.

i just about lost it :[

BUT.

even after all this muck.. things turned out amazing. Mary, the bishop, and i all bore our testimonies and then we heard from the stake leaders.

and that was that.

it was alright.

i had survived!

even though, for a split second, i thought i might dieeeee. haha.  

all in all, it was a really spiritual learning/growing experience. i'm glad it happened. 

i need to be humbled every so often.. and this definitely did the job.

THEN.

there was Mon/Tues/Wednesday...

they are all blurred together to be honest.

i just remember a lot of homework

a lot of attempts at decision making

a lot of emotions

and a lot of COLD.

soo

rough.

but

really good.

every seemingly "bad" thing that happened, resulted in something good.

life's challenges are chippin away at me and slowly SLOWLY makin me better.
