Today While The Sun Shines

"Wake up with Determination. Go to bed with Satisfaction."

To me, this quote says it all. Since the beginning of the year I've been trying my hardest to make a change in my life. Not just resolutions that will go untouched within a month, or saying to myself over and over "I need to be more positive". I have made the decision to really evaluate my existence here on earth and live my life to the fullest. I have been loving life and feeling GREAT each and every day- from the time I wake up until I go to bed at night. I am so glad I have finally found the key to true happiness, and that is to put Heavenly Father first in your life and trust that everything else will fall into place, because it always does.

I was just sitting here eating my mint M&M's while I read a bunch of blog posts by other Missionary Girlfriends and I am determined to blog more than just once a month. So... starting today, that is exactly what I'm going to do.

Relaxing Sunday, wrapped up in my  High School Musical blanket and eating delicious mint m&m's. 

After expressing my desire to try front counter to my manager at Chick-fil-A, he finally scheduled me a couple days last week to train up front. Monday was awesome! I learned alot (which was a bit overwhelming), but had such a great time. During the lunch rush I was put over desserts. I made soooo many milkshakes that when I woke up the next morning, my arms were sore from pulling down on the ice cream machine lever. :p I am scheduled for up front again this Monday and Tuesday, and I look forward to it.

I got my wonderful "Eternal Marriage" manual in the mail this week and I am just thrilled to have that thing in my possession! Not only do I get excited to read the words inside, but I also enjoy highlighting and marking it up. It's a pretty big book, so it will take me a while to get through it, but I enjoy every minute of reading the counsel of prophets and scriptures on specified topics. I love this book so much that I took it with me to church today and read it during sharing time, and then after church when the rest of my family was in choir. To sum up how I feel about this marriage manual, I would definitely recommend it to any of you out there who took the time to read this post.

In sacrament meeting today we sang "Today While the Sun Shines". I literally haven't heard that song in forever, but while singing the words today, the meaning really became clear: Seize the day!! Make each day count by spending your time wisely, and accomplishing the goals you've set. What a great hymn!

I hope you all have a Happy Sunday and enjoy your week!
