like watching the sunset by the fire on the beach
like hugging your best friend after being apart for a while
like throwing a vase on the wheel
like running into the ocean at full speed until your legs are caught by the water and you fall in
That's how things feel right now. So happy and blessed and content.
So here's how it goes.
I am going to BYU in the fall where I will be competing for their track team and majoring in Studio Art. I'm chasing my dreams, people. I'm excited and so very blessed. Yesterday I competed in triple jump at CIF Prelims for Division I. And guess what? I qualified for finals next week! I am beyond excited. Before I competed I read Ether 12 in the Book of Mormon and read my favorite verse, verse 27, which reads "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." I read this and felt at peace and knew I would finally be strong. I am so grateful.
Now let me tell you about a little jaunt we took to Boston a while back. It was beyond amazing. Boston is a gorgeous and well thought out place. There are no lame or ugly buildings in the city. They are all designed with precision and care and are AMAZING. The architecture left me speechless. The history is so rich there and everyone was so nice and helpful to us as we maneuvered through the city. Strangely enough, I maneuvered through Boston super easily. Kinda crazy considering I get lost like ALL the time here. But there I was the leader who took my family through the subways and bus stops with ease. I loved it. We were there right before the Boston Marathon took place. Because of how raw the pains from last years marathon are, everyone in Boston had gathered together for several memorials and seemed very connected and unified. It was truly inspiring. Here are countless photos from the great adventure. I can't even express how much I loved it. Brandon and I ended up getting really sick at the end but luckily we still enjoyed the majority of our travels.
