So This weekend was amazing! I stayed with Jaeda "not face" Pappas. I got away from the silliness of my apartment and genuinely enjoyed the weekend. I watched North and South (The most frustrating 3 hrs and 50 minutes of my life followed by a glorious period of 5 minutes where life is uncomplicated and joyous). We watched the Hannah Montana Movie which was surprisingly very good. I didn't hate it. I bought groceries with my change. I used a coinstar machine for the first time. Got to sit and just read. Watched a movie in a personal theater room at Brookside (Who knew? I had access the whole time and missed out.) Strictly Ballroom. Enough said. I made red, white, and blue pies and actually ate one. Watched Natty Gahn. Went shopping. Ran into Vicki. Went shopping again. Ran into Vicki again. Bought cheese. Tillamook. A simple weekend of simple blessings.
Of all these things though the thing that saved me this weekend was the temple. Its how I started my weekend. J and I went with her ward Friday at 6:30 am and I can't remember a time I was happier. Sitting and waiting in the temple gave me a chance to receive revelation from the Lord. I went seeking and brought my notebook and it came. Not exactly what I expected but it was direction I needed. After the temple I was blessed to get to know Jaeda. I always introduce her to people that know Casey as Casey's sister but I really do consider her a friend (I just thought you should know).
So thank you for being my friend and helping me remember the blessings of friendship and the importance of going to the temple. For encouraging and inviting me to go.
