email from pops

It seems like most mornings I wake up and watch as the light in my room slowly increases. Usually I doze off and on for a while until I fully wake up and my mind becomes active. It's a pleasant experience as I think about the coming day and the anticipations I have. Always I end up thinking of Mom and you kids and usually I'm given to mentally compose a letter to one, several or all of you. I always end with a prayer that you all will find happiness in your day and find joy in family and service. In my prayer I usually ask that Heavenly Father will find ways that will soften your hearts, that you will be humble and contrite, that the Spirit will be able to teach and impress on you the spirit of the laws He has given us and that there are ever higher laws to live, each one drenched in the blessings He wants us to enjoy. As I think about it I realize that we are perhaps first taught to live the letter of a law, like being prayerful, fasting or keeping the sabbath day holy or even the word of wisdom. But, the letter of any of Gods laws is only meant to help us experiment with true principles until we see their benefit and how they enhance us, make us better. Then we move into a higher level of obedience where we see, understand and begin to live by the spirit of that law. We are no longer forced by guilt, fear or social pressure but our desires have become holy and will bring us ever closer, step by step to those Devine qualities of which we are spiritually genetically disposed. Isn't life wonderful. Mom and I are looking forward to seeing all of you, that can be at Grandmas funeral. It will be an enjoyable time and perhaps the last time that so many of us will gather in one place. I love you all, Dad

email from dad about his sweet new birks we finally found on eBay #hardtofindshoes

Holly: Jordan says they look like blueberry zebra striped gum and I guess they do, but do you know what it's like when your at the store and you put something on and instantly you love the way it looks and feels? These are great!! You didn't tell me what your final bid was. Were they a good buy? Hope all is well and you and Kallee are being good sisters to each other. Thanks for the Birks. If you sale the brown ones I can ship them from here. I will send you some pics of them. Love you, Dad

today on sunday

So far on this fine Sunday afternoon I've been conditioning my leather,

 polishing my silver,

and now I'm sitting here in the family room with pops doing homework and listening to general conference.

This past week I:

• watched youtube video after youtube video (CTFxC and Caspar Lee are my favorites) when is the next vidcon? Cause 2014, I will be there!
• Ditched anatomy because I have a worthless frazzled teacher and all I get when I go to class is confused.
• Lost one of my favorite earrings and cried about it. The amount of love I bestow on my jewelry is unreal.
• Spent way too much time at thrift stores.
• And of course Salad and Go every night. My salad tossing skills pay my bills. But not really cause I'm strictly the walk up window cashier.

BYE.
My dad has fallen asleep so I may sneak downstairs and put coconut oil in my hair....

I'm not allowed to be on my phone anymore at the kiosk :( !!
So I guess that makes this an illegal blog post.

Ode to Kyle. I'm not sure what ONONE even is but Kyle used to wear it everyday and I stole it from his room.

From my perch. I never ever ever ever thought I'd say it, but I miss the sun some days. It's mostly always cloudy here but at least I don't have to worry about sundowning!

Couldn't decide between these two on ebay, went with neither. A big thing with me and bags is the strap. IT HAS TO STAY ON MY SHOULDER!! I cannot deal with bags always slipping off. Two straps are no good.

Turned my neglected Nook on for the first time in forever and look who was there to greet me.

Hey Elvis hey.

My mammoth water bottle people make fun of. I'm hydrated and you're not. So there.
