Finer Moments in Life

So much has happened. I have not let my sinus infection get the best of me. Thanks to a good friend, I was not homeless. She let me stay at her house. So much fun. Thank goodness for good friends. We went to Seven Peaks one day. When we got to the bottom of one of my favorite slides, we kept going. The lifeguard was holding back a laugh because of our faces. We were seriously surprised with how far we went. After going on this same slide, Janessa got out of the tube first since she was in the front. As I went to get out, somehow I rolled off and landed flat on my back, and the tube ended up on top of me. At this point, it was all the lifeguard could do to not burst out laughing. Not one of my finer moments. That same day I went to get some sinus medicine. A cute guy kind of pushed the lady at the counter aside so he could be the one to help me. He flirted a little and I may have as well, but all I wanted was medicine. You are cute, but hand over the medicine and stop flirting and creeping on me using my ID. I also lost my credit card. Again, not one of my finer moments, but I stayed calm. It is all worked out now thank goodness. This week I also got to finish all of the new Batmans. Eric made me watch them. We watched the first one a week or two ago. This week, we watched the second one on Tuesday. After that one I happily complied when he said we were going to have to go to the movie theater the next day. They are so good! Those are ones I will now watch with my little brother. He said now we have to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy so we can watch the Hobbit when it comes out. Oddly excited about that one.

I am now moved in to my new apartment. I do not know how I feel about my roommate yet. Things are still new. I had an FOL meeting today. It was long, but I really enjoyed it. Here's the thing. I am extremely nervous about this. Not only do I have to lead a group, but you go on little sleep, you have to be outgoing, and you have to teach lessons. Ah! Why did I agree to this?
One more thing, if I cannot say I am in BYUSA because I love it, I am in BYUSA because it is an instant self esteem booster. I love the people in it like I have said so many times before. I love it when people tell me that I am a "tan goddess" or yell across the office that I am a babe as I am leaving the office. You just have to love it. I know I do.
Now for my thankful post for the week.
1. I am thankful for talks on CD by Hank Smith. He is my favorite teacher. Seriously. I was listening to his new CD, and I was laughing so hard tears were rolling down my cheeks. I was worried that I may have to pull my car over so I could wait until I could see again. On as stressful a day as moving day, he had me laughing. Hard.
2. I am thankful for cough medicine, cough drops, hand sanitizer, cool to the touch tissues, and Advil cold and sinus. You all knew this was coming because of my sinus infection, so here it is. I am so glad for all of these things in my life. I am almost over all of it. The last thing for me to get rid of is my cough. I have FOL in a couple days so it better hurry up.
3. I am thankful for being able to laugh at myself. When looking back at my week, if I was not able to laugh at myself, it would have been a lot worse than it panned out to be. I could have freaked out when I lost my credit card, lost it when the guy at the pharmacy would not stop flirting with me and give me my medicine, been embarrassed when I fell out of the tube, be in a constant state of worry about my roommate situation, freaked out about moving by myself, and even go in my shell at the meeting today instead of breaking free and having fun.
