So, it may be my mood, or the weather, or perhaps a misalignment of the planets, but today, more than ever, it seems like that front porch swing will never come. Don't get me wrong, things here are going great, just, well, different than I expected. I guess that is how life works though, isn't it?

This week was one of excitement and happiness; I had a blast. I had two tests this week and, suprisingly, did well on both of them. The first test of the semester is always the worst because you never know what the teacher has up his sleeve, but these were bearable. I went to my first BYU hockey game, not realizing that we were playing the best team in the country, but still had a blast through our horrific loss. I went and saw a modern dance performance on campus and loved it, even though I could find no one else with anything positive to say. I figure that if I don't understand the beauty of their artistry, it is not my place to criticize out of ignorance. I also went and saw Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman (my future husband!!!!). It was absolutely amazing. I, as a rule, love all movies, because, as stated above, everything has worth to someone, why not to me, but this was truly a wonderful movie. Although not a family flick it was incredibly family-centric. It was quite long and traffic (I know, traffic in Provo) prevented me and my party from arriving on time, so we were in the front row!!!! After lengthy icing and rehabilitation, my neck and back just might recover from the two and an half hour movie. Regardless, it was definitely worth it.

Things are going well in Provo. I am beyond excited to see my family this coming weekend and have missed them terribly. I'm working my rear off in school to try to prepare to spend time with them, but six days work wasn't meant to be done in four.

Regardless of my blue mood, the weather, or the planetary alignment, tomorrow will be a wonderful day. I will look around in awe at the God-given blessings I receive and take time to appreciate all of His wonderful creations. No matter what tomorrow may or may not bring, it will truly be a beautiful day.
Though the game was a blow-out for the other team, there was an AMAZING fight in the second period. The refs blew three calls and it was then all-out war. I love the primal brutality!!!!!!
I really didn't expect this picture to turn out at all, but I waved my camera in the air, Timmy jumped in behind me, and this is what came out. Not bad for a boched joke, eh?
