The Grass Looks Greener

Checking in on my friends blogs and feeling my life is missing something. It has been terribly busy and report cards have been stressing me out. Monday I went with friends to 27 dresses (James Marsden was masterful!!!!!!I've got a little bit of a girl crush on him at the moment.) I went to my yoga class on Tuesday and received what I call an emotional stress fracture (your abilty to not do what you are asked to do to the point where you walk off the floor and hide around the corner). Once there I realized that I couldn't escape from where I was and had to return back to class. I finished it but it definitely has taken it's toll (nothing like having a photographer there taking pictures for the teacher's website and you are struggling with hard stuff you have never ever seen in class before!) On Wednesday I found myself in Medicine Hat at doggie obedience class (that was an experience). Only seven more weeks of that! On Thursday I attended "Rachel's Challenge". It was a presentaion made by Craig Scott, Rachel Scott's brother. She was the first person killed at Columbine High school in 1999. He was in the library and both of his friends on either side of him were shot. It was very moving. The message was very simple but powerful. This was one of the quotes she had written in her journal "Don't let your character change color with your environment. Find out who you are and let it stay its true color." You can find out more about it at www.rachelschallenge.com . I'm glad I went but it was day four away from my family. Steve and I went out for supper last night and got called back to the house as the missionaries needed our computer. Tonight it was the band fundraiser - good news, it was a family event! We were all there. Tonight is Daylight savings time change and I am so not in the mood for it! I'm doing singing time in Primary tomorrow and have company coming for dinner. Then my week starts again. Good news.....the laminate floor in our basement is getting put down this week. Maybe when that's done I will be able to return to some semblance of order. I didn't even get to work on any Moroni's Quest preparations this week. Take care, friends. Don't forget about me as I feel that I have been terribly anti-social lately. It hasn't been on purpose, really!
