This weekend was rockin!

Typically a weekend comes and a weekend goes and nothing too exciting happens. This weekend was the exception. I had a such a blast with all my friends. Except now, I am dreading work tomorrow. Although I have the greatest job. I don't even know how I scored it. I'm one lucky son of a gun.

So, usually I work on Fridays. Typically from 7-5. All day long. This Friday was different. The family was out of town, which means I get the day off. Boo-ya. Days off = endless possibilities. This day was so much fun.

My little Pashstar and I spent the entire day together. This is normal. Very normal. But today was extra great. Because we got to spend it with some of my fun friends as well.

These are some of my uber cool friends. Except we look like possessed aliens or something. iPhone cameras.

At the end of this wonderful night... I got to skype two of my favorite boys. Mr. Wesley Monahan & Mr. Daniel Whitlock. They really are some of the studliest boys I know. I wish I had a picture of this. I have lots of videos... but I will spare them the embarrassment.

Then. Saturday came. That was another fabulous day. I went to a Cinco de Mayo pool party with my friend Christopher, and some of his buddies from school. I ate too much food. It's okay though because the company was fabulous. Such a funny group of people. I sure did enjoy myself. That evening, I saw the Avengers. That's Pashstar (pic 1) and (pic 2) Mr. Stark himself... aka:Keith Allen. It was a splendid movie. Makes me wanna be a ninja.

Keith is one of my pretty good friends here in Fort Worth. Except he is leaving next week to move back to Utah. Makes me really sad, thinking that I won't be able to hang out with him anymore... but I am happy for him. He is excited. And he is doing great things with his life which is wonderful. He and I served at FHE leaders together and we had some really good times together. You rock Keithster.

Then Sunday came. And again, it was a really great day. Church was wonderful. Fast Sunday is always so nice. I love hearing other people's testimonies. Pash and I made this super delicious dinner and had some handsome boys over to eat and watch the CES devotional. We made a roast, with potatoes and carrots, rolls, and homeade cookies. One day someone will want to marry us cause of our super cool skills. One day.

P.s. Devotional was really good. Elder Jensen is such a great man. Just in case you missed it... there is a link below! I hope your weekend was fabulous too!

1:31 in the A.M.

Ever realized that something about you had changed, but you didn't know what is was? You just know your a little different than you were yesterday.

This happened to me. 

These last few weeks have been a roller coaster ride for me. Basically, I have been experiencing so many different emotions. I have realized something though. About my trials. I realized that it is 100 percent up to me, how I decide to let things affect me. I used to think to myself, fairly regularly... "no one should ever have to go through something like that". Those word have run through my mind for years, as I watch people experience heart breaking trials, or as I go through rough patches myself. Although we may not have done anything to deserve the trials we face, we accepted each and every one of them before we came to this earth. We wouldn't have accepted them if we weren't certain we could concur them. As I have struggled to overcome different obstacles in my life, I was so focused on myself and why I would have to face something so terrible that I failed to do the one thing that would release the the pain and the anger. As things began to resurface, and feelings of grief began to creep in and take over my entire body. To the point where I wasn't even sure what I was feeling anymore. I didn't feel like me. Something else had taken over. It was dark, and so terribly overpowering. Unable to comprehend these feelings I asked my Heavenly Father for help. Begging him to take away the hurt I could feel so strongly. I could literally feel my Savior there. I could feel him waiting for me. Waiting for me to let him embrace me. All I had to do was walk into his arms. He has already suffered my sins and the sins of others. Not only that, but he has felt every sorrow and every pain. He really knows my heart. I could not be more grateful for the Lord's hand in my life. I can not imagine having to face this world without the knowledge of the gospel. I would be a fool to think I could possibly face this life on my own. To my Savior, I will be forever indebted to. Forever grateful. And forever loving of him. He is there, I know, because I can feel him.
