Today.

This summer, I was supposed to do a lot of things. I was supposed to work at a daycare, but with the economy, that wasn't happening unless I had a college degree. And I was supposed to be registered for a CNA class... and when I went to pay for it, my high school advisor hadn't submitted my record after all. So even though I took the initiative, registered early, I wasn't in the summer class after all. Translation? I was just condemned to sit on my disproportionately voluptious BUTT all summer. And I'm not gonna lie to you, that started to get to me on Tuesday. I stayed inside all day - which is completely unnatural - and I was QUIET - which is also completely unnatural.

I woke up on Wednesday, and I just thought, "No. Okay, I am not going to do this. It is the last day of JUNE. One-third of my summer has effectively flown by. And no way am I wasting one more day of it." And I'll be honest, maybe I was having a little pity-party because it would be pretty hard to top last summer, where I spent everyday with my best friend in the whole world, who coincidentally lived only three streets over, and treats me like the sun shines out my butt. But, Wednesday, I was done. Because one thing that best friend loves about me? Is the fact that I don't let those kind of feelings win me over when they pop their ugly, zit-covered, little faces up in my life. I punch them in the face with a joke or a happy feeling, and I move FORWARD with my life!

So. Wednesday, I went to Young Women's! And I was determined to have the best night ever. And honestly? I did. Because my cute friend was showing me the letters this boy had written her in Europe while his phone was out of service. One for everyday he was gone. (: AHH! I love lovin'. He wrote them to prove to her that she could trust him before she commited to a relationship. Um, okay, does that make anyone else wanna cheer? Sue me, cause I'm a hopeless romantic, and it made my DAY. I love that there are boys out there who aren't tooltastic. THEY EXIST, people. There are lots of them! Give them the time of day and you'll be pleasantly surprised. But anywho... We were at a rifle range. Maybe I liked it too much. Maybe I'm ridiculously good at hitting a target with a firearm. MAYBE ONE OF THE PRIESTS IS A HOVERER, AND A HOVERER WITH A LOADED FIREARM IS MORE THAN HORRIFYING. Maybe I got in my turn reaaaaal fast, and my car hightailed it out of there as a result.

Well, friends. You know the revolution of summer lovin' couldn't stop there. So I woke up on Thursday, and I thought, "Today, I will do something that will push me out of my comfort zone." So I went to my first voice lesson! I have always wanted to sing, and I have always been self-conscious about it, but I just thought, "Why not?" I'm not going to audition for anything, I'm not going to be competitive with it, but I just want to learn, to prove to myself that I can. And just to push myself out of my comfort zone! And guess what?! I, loved it. It was so much fun to try something new and to push myself, and to find out that I wouldn't fail. Many more moments like this to come!

Who knows what I'll wake up tomorrow and want to do? But today, I'll... get to the temple, and on my way, enjoy every single minute of the beauty in the world that Heavenly Father created for me, and for everyone else! (:
