Success!

Well, I finally picked up my car last week! Woo hoo! I was able to attend all my karate classes which was fantastic, and managed to make a rag quilt for my friend, Brooks. I am very pleased with the result! Especially, since I had to fit sewing into an already busy schedule.

Monday night, I went to FHE (a.k.a. Family Home Evening) and played kickball inside the cultural hall (gymnasium). I must admit, it was a good time and a very successful activity. Carrie and John are great organizers of kickball!!! :) Tuesdays and Thursdays were karate days, but Thursday was difficult, as I was functioning on very little sleep.

Wednesday was a long, yet highly productive day! Between work, sewing, laundry, and...yup, you guessed it, the midnight-thirty showing of "Star Wars: Episode III." It was a good time, however, the lack of sleep made my Thursday a bit of a challenge. Scott was in my head the whole time, and the next day! He always says, "What you do today, shouldn't affect what you do tomorrow." The meaning, you are in control of your actions, and you shouldn't do things today, that will prevent you from being responsible and keeping comittments tomorrow.

Words to live by, let me tell you! Do you know how many times those words have gone through my head and helped me to make a good decision? Yeah, you bet it keeps me out of trouble! It really helps to see a bigger picture, and work to gain a greater perspective on life and its many situations. It's the small day to day decisions we make that help get us where we need to be.
