Thoughts and happenings

Well, today provided time for me to think about life. Super dramatic, right? Haha. Today was the funeral of my parents' dear friend, Timothy Lee Stott. So naturally, mom and I went to the memorial service while dad was at work. It was a really sweet service. His sons talked about how he had lived such an exemplary life; he was a pilot during the Vietnam War, and then worked as a fire fighter here in Clovis for many years. For his service in the military and for showing the utmost courage, he was awarded a Purple Heart. All the other people that spoke bore witness to Tim's integrity, kindness, and intelligence. It made me want to live my life in such a way that, when I'm gone, people will say some of those things about me too. It also made me really grateful for the Gospel and for the Plan of Salvation, and (as cheesy as it sounds) that families really can be together forever.

This weekend I was able to finish my preparations for the wedding; I finally bought both of my maid of honor dresses!!!! Hooray! They weren't the one that I was shooting for, but the one I was shooting for was a BCBG MaxAzria dress that was $350... haha so I guess it's reasonable that I got two other ones. I'm wearing white; call me Pippa Middleton. But I'm really excited to wear both the evening and day dresses. I just need shoes and jewelry now, and I'll be set.

Mom and I finished the invites today, so I hope that things just keep rolling and August 2nd gets here fast. Cuz I'm tired of being in Clovis and can't wait to go to Guatemala. 


Today, a life-changing event happened. Daddy let me drive the new BMW. And I think it wouldn't have happened in any other situation; but I took full advantage of the opportunity and took a detour on my way home. I drove down my favorite road, Old Friant Road, and enjoyed a great relaxing 20 minute drive back into Clovis while listening to my new favorite songs at full volume. Juan Magan is the perfect summer artist.
