This made me laugh a lot harder than it should have. But maybe someone out there is as easily entertained as I am and will find this amusing as well.

sunday morning.

I love Saturday and Sunday mornings. There's something really peaceful about being awake before everyone else and getting things done.

Today I woke up early and made blueberry muffins. They were delicious blueberry muffins! Then I studied the Book of Mormon for a while, specifically 4th Nephi and Mormon.

You know what, that book is amazing. I have come to love it more and more each day that I read it and I honestly can't wait to finish it just so I can start it again!

It's just nice to know that our Savior truly does love us and has given us everything we need to be saved and live with Him forever. I have come to know this through the Book of Mormon. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do! Because it is absolutely amazing.

Helaman 5:12

"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

Build your foundation on Jesus Christ, and you will not fall!

He is my best friend and I love Him. I know that He will come again. I know His atonement is real and infinite. True joy is possible because of Him.

i love today. part 2.

Today was an excellent day. So I thought I'd make a sequel to that one post and tell you exactly why today was so excellent!

Today is Friday: I love Fridays! Who doesn't?? It means Monday is just 3 short days away, and I especially love Mondays because I get to hear from my missionary. He makes me real happy.

Productivity: This morning when I woke up I was somehow in the mood to be productive! So I've been all pumped about getting my homework done and that doesn't happen all that often, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

My hair: After I straightened my hair this morning it was just so soft and I love when my hair is soft. My hair is generally soft basically all the time but it made me happy this morning, and everyone needs something to make them happy in the morning.

Dancing: I get to dance a lot every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for school. It's the best. Usually I get super nasty after my morning jazz class but today I only got kinda nasty AND we did some Fosse-esque stuff so I got to be fierce and sassy and that's my guilty pleasure or something. And I just really love dancing!

The library alarm: For the first 4 weeks of the semester I set off the alarm in the library EVERY DAY. But I haven't set it off in like a week and a half now so that's cool.

Lorde: While I was doing homework in the library today I listened to Lorde. I am loving her music. A lot. Especially this song. I seriously love how music can make me happy like nothing else can. 

Walking up to the Ricks building: My backpack was extra heavy today and I did indeed have to trek up to the Ricks, but it was giving me a great calf workout and I like having nice calves, so I was a fan!

I like naps: My awesome sister Nicole got me a hoodie for Christmas last year that says, "I Like Naps." It's my favorite. I get more compliments when I wear that hoodie than any other outfit. I wore it today so I got some compliments and I wore a hoodie which equals comfort which equals happy Sara.

Science things: Brother Kelley likes to do fun demonstrations for us on Fridays. We didn't play with any liquid nitrogen today, but he did pull out a tesla coil for us! It was basically exactly like the scene in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Okay, not really. But it was still cool. And in case you haven't seen The Sorcerer's Apprentice, here's the awesome tesla coil part. The fun begins around 50 seconds in. But you can watch him awkwardly flirt for the first 50 seconds if you'd like, too.

Ice cream: I went to Nielson's Frozen Custard and had a divine raspberry and vanilla concrete. Oh my yum. Ice cream is my second favorite food.

What a wonderful day.

I hope yours has been pleasant as well!
