Blessings

Monday June 17th - Wednesday June 19th

Monday was great, I woke up and got to go golfing with work! Brandon said he was sick so it was only Angela, Ron and I. We went at 9am, and I have to say it was a gorgeous day! Not to hot, but still warm and sunny. All three of us weren't playing well, but we still get a laugh out of everything. Ron was of course making his usual sarcastic comments, Angela was swinging at the ball like she was swinging a baseball bat, and I was laughing at everything. Gotta love my job! We left early because Ron's daughter needed a blessing, but we got a good 15 holes in, so I was satisfied. 

I went back to work and worked until 5pm. When I was finished I drove up to AF to meet Linsey at the library again. We got two more chapters done, and some good studying. I'm glad Linsey is focused because it keeps me focused. I went home and had FHE with the Stouts after that, which was on the 5th Article of Faith this time. We are still using the cute videos on the website I mentioned earlier on in the blog. We also played duck duck goose :)

Around 10pm I went over to Bryans and we went on a run. Thankfully I wasn't on my period this time and was able to actually run and not die. Bryan made me run for forever! Ah. I do have to say its nice that he pushes me and I like to try and impress him so I keep going even when I don't want to. WIth Jade I would just say I needed to walk as often as I wanted. At the end I wanted to walk the rest of the way home to cool down but Bryan wouldn't let me! I did feel really good after the run, and I really actually find it fun to go with him. I have a new goal to run three times a week. I'm not gonna make a goal of everyday because I know its not really realistic. I'm lazy :) 

Tuesday was strange. We had NO idea where brandon was or what was going on. He hadn't answered any emails, calls or texts from us since 6pm the nigt before which is really strange for him. We were sending Ron to go check on him around 11am, but Brandon finally decided to email us and tell us he's alive. I spent most of the day in the office with Angela and Ron. I think I got a lot done! 

When I got home I made dinner. My new job is to make dinner every Tuesday night, which will be good practice for me! I made lemon chicken, pasta salad and cut up watermelon. The boys said I did a  good job, so I'll take that! I found out Byran's young mens activity was cancelled, so I went over to his house to watch part of game 6 of the NBA Finals (Heat vs. Spurs). Carl Prince, Garrett, Brian Larsen, and Daryl Warner randomly showed up! Carl and Garrett had gotten home last week! It's crazy! We are like only missing Colton and Mardi now. I'm so excited.

I left around 9pm to go to m grandpas for a blessing. When I got there Grandpa and I talked for a good 45 minutes or so. He's seriously a wise and loving man. I am so grateful for him, and sad for the times that my dad kept us away from his side of the family. My grandpa is like my best buddy. During the blessing he said some things that really surprised me. The words aren't exact and I just wrote down what I remembered and was impressed by when I got home. 

• My relationship with my family and my family struggles will not hinder or harm my relationship with Bryan and his family. It will not change how they view me.
• I'm responsible as the oldest child to be an example, not only to my siblings but my parents as well. I was placed into my family for a reason. My influence can make an impact. My example and sweetness to my brothers at their young ages is important. Especially now before they grow up and don't want my advice.
• I will be blessed with good health during this trial.
• I will be blessed with peace and comfort
• I will be blessed to put the bad feelings and emotions away and replace them with ones from my Heavenly Father. When I go to him, I will receive answers and feelings of peace and love.

I'm so grateful that I have a Grandfather who is so worthy and wise and willing to give me blessings and be a guide when I am in need. He is a strength for me and my family.

OH also. I found out that the Heat won in OT by 3 points!!! I couldn't believe I missed that!!! AH. I watched the highlights at work the next day though. Man it was an intense game. I'm nervous for game 7.

Wednesday was a good day! Brandon didn't come into the office again, but I did get a lot of work done and even got to go work with Angela for awhile. After work I came home, kind of cleaned my room and took a nap. Around 8pm I went to Bryans and we finished his cleaning jobs, took Sam to a friends house and cleaned his room. I know that doesn't sound fun but for some reason it was! At one point Bryan was hugging me and he just goes "ah!" And I was like "what?" he finally says "I'm just so in love with you!" Yeah, that made me smile. I wasn't expecting him to be this sweet to me! I love that in our relationship we say exactly what we are thinking. Nothing is hidden or secret. I can be me and he can me him. This time we actually got his room pretty dang clean! We could see the floor! I was amazed. Now we can actually move onto other more exciting things on our list :) 

Overall, just a good night. Any night at the Frandsens is a good one.
