Remember that post I did a while back about my quilt? (Here, here and here). Well yesterday, I got out of class early (10:00 AM) so I headed on over to the sewing lab because I was determined to get my sewing done! I spent about two hours cutting and sewing the sashing together, and then I finally sewed ALL the pieces together, till I was done! :) I'm really excited!! It looks so nice and I can't wait to finish up the back and the binding!! This is the first thing I've ever sewn on my own! :) I totally want a sewing machine now!! Anyway, here are some photos:
Well, the other day, I got pretty bored, and another MG I met, found this morph website! It was pretty entertaining. So, knowing me, I morphed pictures of Brady & I! :) Hahahaha its really funny! Anyway, here are some photos!
Daughters 1 and 2.

*************Now, onto more stuff! So, I've been doing just fine lately! I've had my bad days, and I've had my good days! I have a wonderful family who is always there for me no matter what time of day! I am so grateful for the close relationships that I have with my sisters and parents and even my brother. They will always love me and help me and let me cry, and lean on their shoulder. I've got the best family, and I'm the luckiest girl in the whole wide world! A lot of you know, my best friend is currently serving a mission, I've got two cousins serving right now, and a big load of friends serving missions right now, and for the future. One of my best friends from high school is opening his mission call today, and I'm really excited to see where he's going!
It has been really hard on me and I'm not sure why. I feel like I've been struggling with friends for a really long time. I just sometimes feel like I'm the only one who puts effort in, ya know!? And maybe, its my own fault. Which I'm sure most of it is. I'm not going to put all the blame on my friends. But most days, I can't help but feel like I don't really have friends who care about me, until I see them physically do something. People mean a lot to me, if you haven't noticed. One result I'm thankful for, from the passing of my sweet Andy, was the way I view people and the importance of their life, and meaning of them in my life. I can cry pretty easily over people, and things that happen, and I definitely have a hard time letting go of things. I look at married couples and wonder what it was like for them to have forgotten about their past relationships, and friends they never spoke with again, and I wonder if it was hard for them or not, because I see/read/hear about how easy it is to be in love with their eternal companion, and how nobody else matters!! I want to get to that point and I feel like I'm having a very hard time doing so. That is one of the goals I've set for myself while Brady is gone. Is to get rid of the feelings and hurt and things in my head that I want gone, before he gets back so I can then love him more fully with my entire heart, more than before he left, for the rest of eternity.
Which brings me to my next topic. I know Heavenly Father can help me with this. I just do. I am a very firm believer in the word of prayer, and the power it has in my life. The impact missionaries have had on my life, has been huge. Since I can remember I've always felt the want to serve a full-time mission for my Church. There's a lot of things in my PB that talks about serving the Lord in all sorts of calling to teach in His Kingdom, but of course, if doesn't directly say what it is, and I'm content with not knowing. I know the Lord will place me where he needs to be.. especially if that means a mission. Its been a long time coming, and I know I shouldn't base my decision to do things in life off of Brady, but its hard not to because of the relationship I have. I'm extremely younger than Brady is, so by the time he got home from his mission, it will be an exact year before I, myself, could even serve. And its hard deciding that, but I know the Lord will place me where he needs me. I think missions and missionaries of all kinds are extraordinary and I'm so grateful they exist! I pray for them every single day, and I'll continue to!
Anyway, this has definitely been a long post! But, I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend, and continue to! I only have 2 more weeks of school left! I cannot believe it! :/ But I'm really happy! Ttfn :)
P.S. My good friend Matt has been called to serve in the Norway, Oslo mission! :) Congrats Matt, you'll do amazing things!
