And the family returns
I made cake last night. Its really good. Its a combination of german chocolate and tres leches, and very delicious! I hope my family likes it.
Speaking of, they are back from Wisconsin. They returned tonight from their week long kayaking trip. I am no longer home alone. I've got mixed emotions about that. I can definitely tell a difference in the feeling when they are home. Its nice to have company and stuff. And I did miss them. But at the same time, I can feel that tension returning. And I dont like that. They all are a bit tired I think from the trip. Anyways, I am trying to be warm-hearted and understanding as much as I can. I think it was good to have alone time for awhile, kinda reminded me of being at school a little bit. I really want to be kind and treat my family with love and service. I am going to try really hard to keep a good spirit, especially while I am in the home. Because it will help everyone I think.
I worked alone. That was crazy difficult. But also it taught me that I am getting alot better. I think it helped with my confidence alot at work. And it made me realize just how hard everyone has to work when they are by themselves. Its definitely nice to have help!
So I am so so totally grateful for my friend who talks to me and listens. He makes me feel like I am worth more than I feel like I am. He makes me want to be better. I feel so happy and warm in his presence. I am so lucky to have a friend like he is. Hopefully I can learn from him and be as good a friend as he is to me. Giving of time is one of the greatest gifts. I am trying to be a nicer person and to regain that love I know I have felt so much stronger for others. Life is such a journey, but I think also, when we get lost, we find ourselves taking the same road again. Maybe this time I will learn it better, so I won't take the wrong turn again. Ha, knowing me, I will turn around like 8 times and it will take 5 times longer than it should, but I always get there eventually!
I'm so excited for church tomorrow! And for my mission! So many people I know have helped me to refocus on the importance of that and the excitement. I do still have a long way to go. But its where I want to be. Go missionaries!!!
My dad totally just said a cool quote, ps, I liked it, it was just his thought and I was like whoa! I dont think he meant it to be profound, but... to me, it was just a cool moment:
"Sleeping in the woods is fun, but not forever. It's nice to come home."
