In My Own Little Corner

Tender Mercies.

How can we deny them? 

Even our most simple thoughts God listens to. He is tuned in all day and all night. He is the most understanding being that exists. If I could just be a little more like him. I am convinced that he is so eager to bless us with happy little blessings along our major journey here. How deeply grateful and joyful I feel when I am humble enough to recognize them. 

It's my birthday tomorrow! I am turning 21! Wait...WHAT??

I know, right? 

I went to the bank today and the lady said, "Oh, you renew your license this month." Boy was I glad that she reminded me. Pretty weird though. 

Just some highlights from my little corner in Provo:


  • One day, we were talking at work. Two of the full-time employees that I work with were in the front office. One of them is more sensitive and humble and just a cutie pie (Kevin). The other one...well...let's just say he is all boy; snips and snails, and puppy dog tails (Craig). We were mentioning movies and first Kevin confessed that he looses his "man card" because he likes Anne of Green Gables and The Sound of Music. "Man card?" Who says that? Then Craig told us that he saw a chick flick with his wife over the weekend and fell asleep. We asked what movie he saw and he said Here comes the Boom. He generously explained that it was about a teacher that becomes a cage fighter to save his high school band or something like that. I looked at him confused and said that that didn't sound like a chick flick. He kind of paused and then responded, "Well, nobody died and my wife cried." There was a kind of awkward silence while everyone processed what he just said and then we all lost it! "No one died!" So every movie that doesn't have killing in it, but makes girls cry is a chick flick! Who knew? 
  • My friends, the Sandberg's, came to Provo and I was able to visit them. My Senior year of high school they had an exchange student that stayed with them. She was my same age and we were the only two girls in my mom's Laurels class. Before she left back to Brazil my mom took us out to Pizza Factory. It was pretty fun. Anyway, she is back in America living with the Sandberg's and going to Dixie. So I got to see her. It was so fun. She is so cute and we had so much fun giggling and catching up. The Sandberg's are just great. A good, faithful, loving family. I am so thankful for their friendship and light in my life. 
Okay, so maybe those were the only two things that I have to write about. It's probably a good thing since I need to get on some homework that is crushing my conscience. 

I have an exciting weekend coming up....an update soon!
