Sometimes You Don't Have To Ask
Sunday was a bad day. I thought I wanted to be alone, but when my friend Darla came to me at Church, I realized I needed her to talk to. She had been at her ward, but wanted to leave. She felt she shouldn't miss Church completely, so she drove to my ward (about 30 min away from her ward, but only about 15 or 20 from her home). The problems I'm having she's been through already. She fights some of the same issues I do. She was exactly the person I needed to talk with at the time. Heavenly Father knew I was in need, and I didn't have to ask for help. He sent it anyway. Recently He's answered many needs of mine, without my asking. She suggested that I give the problems to Heavenly Father to handle. I decided that I would pray for just that. That same afternoon (again without me asking), he took away that huge burden from me. The issue is still there. I still have to deal with it, but the worry is gone. Last month, while visiting the temple, I had a question to be answe...
I Shouldn't Be Allowed To Drive
In one weekend my cell phone was turned off and I managed to back off a rock wall (don't ask). Contact your senators and petition that people with no depth perception or spacial perception be prohibited from driving. I could use a chauffeur. The world would be safer if people like me weren't allowed to TOUCH anything, especially a steering wheel and gas pedal!! Just a thought. THANKS TO BROOKE'S DAD!!!!!! You saved me the price of a tow truck. He and Connie are my life savers. They've gotten us out of so many messes I manage to get myself into (and sometimes messes I've gotten Brooke into). If it weren't for parents and grandparents (not just mine, my friend's parents as well) I would be somewhere covered in debt, eating out of a trash can, homeless, my car halfway off a rock wall with flat tires wearing a trash bag with flat hair. THANKS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Missing Utah
Well, it looks like I will be in NC for at least 1 1/2 to 2 years. I found out that I can be out of school with a Bachelors degree in that time. I can't give that up, even for Utah. But if things are still the same then (meaning if I'm still single), I'll be on my way. It's just SOOOOOO beautiful out there. Here are some pictures of the trip. Thanks to Jon and his family for letting us stay with them in SLC. Thanks to Mary's parents for paying for the hotel at the Grand Canyon. Thanks to Katie & Ben for letting us stay with them in Colorado Springs. And for taking us places. Thanks to Steve and Heidi for having a blast with us at Lagoon! Miss ya'll! The pictures are #1 - Garden of the Gods, CO Springs, CO (Mary, Me, Mackinsie, Katie-Mackinsie's mama, and Brooke; #2 Grand Canyon; #3 Somewhere in Utah (a few hours from SLC)
For my missionaries
So a few years ago eHarmony refused me saying I could not be matched at that time. But two weeks ago it matched me and has sent me almost 30 matches. Now is it a coinky-dink that I've joined the Church since then and have changed quite a bit. No-I think not. So thanks to all the Mormon missionaries out there! You've made me whole!!! (and matchable by eHarmony standards) Special thanks to Steve-o, Patrick, Jesse, Jon, Dustin, Janessa and Nate for all the listening to my constant whining. And thanks to Elder Hollenbeck for baptizing me! Don't know where you are, but I hope that leg is better! I found out it's not that rare for a missionary to get hit by a car. Addition to this post: Because of a recent scalding e-mail from someone on eHarmony who saw my blog, I have the following comments about my blog. I am not communicating with 30 people. I received 30 matches. And for anyone else on there who reads this, until we are dating, we BOTH have the right to talk to other peo...
My turn!
Well, Steve-o and Brooke are doing it, so why not me! I'm Angela. I love Trey Parker. But he got married and left me alone to suffer in my lonliness. Thanks Trey. You suck!!!!!! Matt Stone, I'm gunnin' for you baby! If you can't have the man you want, go for his best friend. That's my motto now.
