An Unusually Gloom Day

Today I am discouraged.

I'm packed with work and things I need to get done and I straight up don't feel like doing them.

I miss Joseph. Sigghhh.

I haven't gotten a letter in 2 weeks, but he did send me a bunch of pictures!

Which resulted in tears.

Happy tears and also frustration.

I'm feeling like laying in bed listening to Home by Blake Shelton on replay and doing nothing with myself all night.

Which would be an awful idea because I have 2 essays to write and a lesson to prepare for seminary tomorrow.

Maybe I will just eat a whole row of Oreos and get on with my life haha!

Anyone feel free to cheer me up on this unusually gloom day :)

All my love, Lauren.

Come What May and Love It

I'm sure all you people are wondering if I even use this thing anymore!

And I'm wondering if I remember how to

But hey, I'm blogging again so that's better then nothing.

So crazy past couple of weeks I don't even know where to begin to summarize so I will just share the good stuff:)

 

I put some stuff together for my friend, Elder Starsi Scherf!

It's for his Christmas package which I actually had to get together like ASAP because shipping takes 2 months. So I made up a Christmas Story Scripture chase, put it some hot chocolate and water flavoring stuff to invite the holiday spirit and make the water taste a little better down there :) I gave him a lint roller, a tie, and some hand warmers that I sewed myself! Ahh yes, I sewed myself. I'm super proud of that lol even though they are just super basic pouches filled with rice that you stick in the microwave and nuke for a minute. That was really fun for me to make :)

 

I finished my school's quarterly grading period with a 3.8!!!!WHAT!!!

I know this probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but for me, it was. especially because I took up such a challenging schedule this year. I am feeling really proud of myself!

 

I have been pretty productive with my Autumn Bucketlist!

Doing all sorts of fun things and it really does feel like Fall:)

 

Gen Conf talks SAVE MY LIFE!

I've substituted the times I would listen to music with General Conference talks and I never want to go back. Now it's definitely my preference to listen to talks over music! My whole day is noticeably better and more uplifting. If I actually don't get to slip my headphones in and listen to a talk for two during the day I feel deprived of the spirit! It's amazing!!!

So I think I will leave you guys with my favorite talk of maybe all time, here.

 

All my love, Lauren. :)

 

 

 



Getting Down to Business

My life is kind of a mess haha. Literally.

I'm cleaning everything.

It seems like everyone in my family has been 10x busier than usual... and 10x messier..

Anyways I'm pretty sick of living in a pig-sty.

Today I washed all my bed sheets and comforter.

Got a mound of laundry done.

Cleaned every dish

Wiped off every counter what seemed to be 100x

Does anyone else notice that counters/tables cant stay clean?

And I yard saled and got rid of a bunch of junk.

I have a list of things I still need to get done.

Buuuuutttt, I thought if I blogged about it, someone might hold me accountable if I don't follow through with this project ;)

 

All my love, Lauren.

 

Ps. As a reward for cleaning and organizing everything in my life I am redecorating my room.

Yayyyyy!!
