Fellow Oz-ians

Wouldn't it be cool to live in Oz. Be green. All the time. ... Nah.

Guys, I am such a Caroline. And I like it. But, the reason I say this is because: the weather was getting all cold and wet and I knew that Mother Nature was just going to skip Fall and go directly to Winter. (This makes me a bit sad. Fall is my favorite. I love Winter too, but Fall is Fall and I love it.) So I decided that as I made food for my family, with no one else in the house, I would listen to my Michael Buble Christmas CD. And I did. And I sang along. And I did that twice. It is October 9. My cousin's birthday. Happy birthday Delaney. But my point is, Christmas is far away. And I was singing Christmas music and totally in the mood. It was really good. Right now, however, I am not in the mood for Christmas music.

Disneyland. It is one word that makes my whole day bright. No matter who says it, or what tone they say it in. It could be some huge-sumo-not-nice-man screaming it and I would still perk right up. I love Disneyland. I have good memories of that place. I would love to go there often. More often. But, I guess then it wouldn't be as special to me. Never mind.

School. AKA college. I have to think about it. I can't wait until I get my application in and then I can go to Disneyland and forget all about it. But, college just reminds me that I am growing up and being mature and dealing with things in a mature fashion. It isn't as fun as just whining about stuff. But it's more satisfying.

Saturday was lovely. My family was down and I love them. They are my favorites. I love being with them. I love seeing them. I love them. And then I went and did baptisms with Laurel and Stefanie. After General Conference, I knew that I needed to go to the temple more often. And then there's Laurel saying "Well deary, let's go right along to the temple, cheerio." (She really said that... no she didn't. But she should have.)
Sunday has been so wonderful. Elder Keetch of the seventy spoke at Stake conference. He is fabulous. It was a good meeting.
And then I came home and the fam played some UNO. We played four times because there was four of us and we each needed to go first. I won twice. I am the queen of UNO. Except for when I'm not.
And then it just was a spiritual day. I was able to buy some music just the other day and it has been all wonderful, holy music. I love it. I love listening to it. I love playing it.
And then I was reminded of this scripture 1 Nephi 21:16 "Behold, I have graven thee upon the ^apalms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." I guess I'll let you write about that in your journals, because that's what I'm going to do.

...Tell me your favorite scripture. If you want I guess.

This week holds so much promise.
Decorating for Halloween.
Kids on the Move.
Mutual (whatever happens there is good)
Temple. (I'm going to go again.)
NHS service project.
Sadies. (OH! This needs its own post...)
And hopefully MV choir concert. There are good people over there. There are good people everywhere. You just need to look.
