BLOWOUT!

I had my very first experience with a blowout on the highway yesterday. I was just driving along on I-15 in my grandparent's car, returning from our weekly temple trip when the car stopped handling normally and we pulled over to the side to see the tire all thrashed. We called a towing company and they said they'd be there in an hour. We sat there waiting for a little bit and the highway patrol showed up and put a spare on and we were able to get on our way. I drove it home and then in my car followed Grandpa to the tire store. Somebody really loves us because the car didn't lose control or anything, no one was hurt and it all took less than an hour and so I wasn't late to choir again. The small miracles in life are what let us know that someone is watching out for us... of course my poor guardian angel is probably getting his wings a lot faster than most...

My Crazy Life, and How I Love It!

So, sorry for all of you who kept seeing my ugly face for the last couple of weeks. Time sure doesn't slow down for anyone...especially the wicked. Well, I've been working on my portfolio for cake decorating. Someday I'll actually get paid for the cakes that I make...but for now I'm just having fun. This is the fun basket-weave cake I made for a friend. It was a carrot cake with some yummy filling and it was super moist.
What else am I doing with my life? One might ask... Well, I'm very much enjoying life. I am working on the costumes for the Brazilian musical we're doing in a couple of weeks and memorizing my lines....eeek. I am having a lot of fun doing these costumes. It is a blast!
The other big thing I'm going to do on the 22nd is another service project for the same cute old people. This time we're planning on helping them with spring cleaning. It'll be great!
Hmmmmmm.....I'm not sure if I'm doing anything else or not....I'm writing papers and doing homework and singing and sleeping when I can't do any more. What can I say....life carries me along.

Oh, the one great thing I did this week was get inspired at church. Funny how that happens once in a while. I just really had a great Sunday a couple of days ago and that momentum is carrying me along. I am attending a family ward and really love the chance that I have to be involved. Life is good and the Lord loves me. It may sound cheesy, but His grace helps me get from one day to the next and accomplish a little something in the meantime, it helps me maintain the good works that I try to do.
