Holy Craziness.

The last few days of my life have been completely consumed with driving and moving. And... driving and moving... and well, driving and moving. You see, torturous trek from good ol' Arizona alllllll the way to Texas is a riddonculous 19 hours. That is not including the fifteen million stops I had to make because my car decided that it did not want to cooperate. Silly thing. I have decided, two-hundred dollars later that all the mechanics I talked to may think I am crazy but I am right. My car guzzles oil like it is gasoline. Which can't be a good thing. SO looks like I gotta go get it checked out again. 

But aside from all that chaos, I am safely back in Texas. But I moved again. I live in Fort Worth now. Which is about an hour away from Dallas... (where I used to live). I love Fort Worth. It is such a homey little place. It makes me feel like I might actually get used to living here. Coming back from Arizona was difficult. The second I drove away I started to realize how much I am going to miss that place. For some reason I kept thinking "I'll be back.." but, in reality I won't be. Texas is home now. I guess I better suck it up and get used to it already. 

And on an exciting note...! I got to talk to Mariah yesterday. Which made me miss her even more. AND tomorrow is my store party! Cause the new IN-N-OUT in Fort Worth opens on Thursday! This is going to be so super duper! But that also means that tomorrow is going to be hectic... and craziness... so off to bed I must go. Golly. 

discover your talents.

How cool would it be if you were good at everything? Super cool... I know. But you see that's not exactly the way thing work around here. As most of you little fellas know we all have our own talents. And we are supposed to discover those talents throughout life.

So here is my question for you. Is a talent something that you are naturally a rock star at? Or does working and working and working at something until you have gained that skill count as a talent? Because I am pretty sure the majority of my "talents" are more of skills. Things that I may be good at now... but I most definitely was not good at to begin with. This has been something I have wondered for while now. I decided I better do a little research. Lucky me, LDS.org is bomb dot com for this kind of stuff. Here is what I found.

Guess what? Talents are to be developed. Lesson learned. We may all be a little more talented than we realize. Being kind to someone, doing service, or something as simple as smiling is a talent. It can be used to brighten someones day.

So to all my little missionaries out there. You guys are talented. For being so strong and so courageous to go out in the middle of a completely stange and unfamiliar place and teach the gospel. To share Christ's message with all who will listen. You will be so blessed. Not only for developing your talents, but for sharing them. With the world, and for bringing them unto Christ. I am grateful for all of you. This last week I have said goodbye to four missionaries. All the handsome young men I went to high school are leaving and serving. I am so proud of them. It is unreal... the feeling of love I have for each of them. Good luck boys. You're all in my prayers. xoxo

That's all.

p.s. discover your talents.

p.s.s. Arizona rocks.
