Keeps Getting Better

Woo! New week, new post.
The fourth of July was a good day. I worked all day, but that was okay with me! After work, i went over to my very good friend's house and I also went to the fireworks with them.  My very good friend had to work later on after the fireworks, so he was napping most of the time that i was at his house. But that's okay, because i hung out with his family. You have to know.. i love his family to death. His mom, in particular, is a huge example to me. I am forever grateful to her and her wonderful kindness.

So, as you all know, I've been depressed. I'm not sure what has gotten me so down, but I'm working through it. After the fireworks, i talked to my very good friend. Things were kinda weird between us and i really hated that. After we talked, (And i got things off my chest), i felt SO much better. It was like a weight was lifted. That felt truly great. I've been feeling a whole heck of a lot better since.

Wednesday night was a good one for me as well. I was so happy, i got to reconnect with a girl who has been my best friend since we were nine. I love her so much and it was just a great time. I'm so excited because we are going to the same college, and we are going to be roommates in the Spring. It'll make for an AWESOME first year of college.

Thursday was another equally busy day for me. I got together with ANOTHER best friend of mine. We started looking at apartments together because we are going to be rooming together this winter. :) After that i worked which was pretty awesome.

Friday, i hung out with someone i haven't hung out with in AGES. She's just moved back to my hometown and it's pretty awesome. We had some rough patches, but i think that we have both grown up. So, this time around, our friendship will be a LOT better. Going to a movie with her was really fun, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with her a lot more before she heads off to college.

Saturday, i just worked. But i applied to get a permanent shoe job, so I'm REALLY hoping that goes through well for me.

And then Sunday, the best day of the week. Oh man. It was a great Sunday. Sundays usually turn out to be the best day for me. Today, in church, we talked heavily about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The lesson my amazing Sunday School teacher gave really touched me. I felt that I needed to tell my dad what i had learned today. I'm really hoping that what I said to him clicked, because I know that my dad is living in constant pain with guilt. I know that personally, I am so grateful for the Atonement. It gives me a peace of mind to know that I AM NOT ALONE. Christ is going through my hardships with me.

Besides my wonderful church experience, i got to go to a family BBQ at my Aunt Glenda's house. It was a great time to catch up with family. The only bad part was that my favorite cousin, Ryan, wasn't there. BUT!!!!!! My Aunt Ida and I made a plan. I'm going to go stay with her for a few days and that means I'll get to spend time with Ryan before he leaves. You don't even know how this pretty much MADE my whole summer.

Well.. I'm done rambling now. This next week brings a LOT of me being busy! I'm so looking forward to it!
