After staying up till 3am talking to someone special, i was able to sleep in till 11:30 and go meet my good friend for her birthday. we ended up talking for about 2 1/2 hrs and then went shopping for a little bit. It was so good to catch up and its funny because everytime we get together we can talk for hours on end. one time we sat in panera for 5hrs until they closed just catching up and talking about stuff. I really hope that this friendship will last a long time because i could deff. see ourself sitting in rocking chairs talking about our lives as elderly women.
I made dinner with my mom tonight and which was really fun. I decided that cooking and figuring out what to cook is always more fun if you have someone to do it with and i can't wait till i have a family in which i can cook for. fun times....
I figured out the other day that i will only be home for 6 days for the whole month of June...and only 10days in July before i fly out to LA and then to Australia....as excited as i am for this upcoming adventure, i don't want the summer to fly by too fast though im pretty sure it will.
Summer Conference was so amazing, not just because the weather was amazing and i got to go surfing, but i got to know my friends better and the seminars that i attended were so informational.
i attended one about dating and though i did take the same one last year, it spoke to me more this year. one thing that hit me pretty hard is the fact that petty arguments and fights that happen in a relationship all stem from selfishness and expectations that were never expressed to the other person. i think the fact that it was all spelled out was really good because i feel like i knew it all before but understand it much better now.
the other seminars were God's Will, and Prayer. prayer was interesting because it wasn't about how to pray but it was about why we don't pray. a different angle and very important to examine. Praying is our communication to God, though i am guilty of not being consistent in this area, i wonder why I and others would not want to talk to our Heavenly Father. some students responded that it is hard because we can not see God, and thus feel silly for talking to air, but that is where Faith comes in. and Much faith is needed. I believe we can always continue going in our faith because we will always be put in positions where our faith will be tested. and this fact should not be discouraging.
