lets go ahead and get the bad out of the way. I completely shattered my phone and I absolutely cried. mostly I'm just telling you this because if there's a lot more typos in this than usual, that's why. I can't see what I'm typing in some places. my sincerest.
on with the good. I got reminded a week ago today that Heavenly Father cares about me. woo. unfortunately that's one of those things I forget a lot and need constant reminding but He loves me enough to give me that. I've really been stressing lately. I feel like there's more I need to do and I just couldn't figure out what. I considerd a mission for a while but that just has never felt right for me. but I was really considering it because I've just been feeling like I need to GO. so this next part is so dumb but go with me here. I was watching soul surfer (all time fav movie) last Tuesday and it hit me. so this time next year, if things continue to go as planned, I will be attending the University of Hawaii. I really feel like this is what I need to do. I don't know what it is, and it may seem silly because I can't explain it but I'm gonna give it a try. I've had a couple meetings with the global engagement center and my academic advisor and things are going well so far so here's to hoping this works out.
other way cool stuff. my best friend got his mission call to Apea, Samoa. let's pretend like I spelled that right, yeah? I just need to go a little further so you realize how big of a deal this is. his mom is full Samoan and his dad is white, so Keanu doesn't look like it, but he is definitely Samoan. and it's always been a really big deal for him. he spends a lot of time at his grandmas house, learning Samoan. he was raised with a lot of the traditions and he respects them. he's even taught me a little, and I'll pretend like I have anything to show for those lessons (; anyways though,, he would always tell me about people he would hear being called to Samoa and he was SO jealous. so when he opened that call and read those words, my first thought was that he was messin with everyone, which is 100 percent typical for him. but I just got chills and he was all choked up and I knew he wasn't kidding and it was so amazing. he is gonna be the best missionary in the world and I'm so so proud of him.
hahaha I just feel like this is proof that he really is Samoan. check out his leis. and the only reason I have any is because of his family. it's a thing apparently.
alright other things. last week was suu's homecoming week and being faithful freshmen, we attended the majority of the activities. a lot of them were a bust, but Friday was SO fun.
hellogoodbye came and performed live and this was their guitarist and we loved him. so there's that. there's also this little tradition suu has called true t-bird night. the idea is that everyone goes down to this big statue of a horse and at midnight everyone kisses someone and then you're a true t-bird. we decided we would go because that is a people watchers heaven. it had recently been brought to my attention that my dad reads this blog so I'm just gonna go ahead and leave this story at that (; but it was a fun night and I'll be done with this story! haha
speaking of my dad, today is his birthday but we did his celebration on Sunday because I was home.
I don't think my dad realizes how much I look up to him. especially now that I've moved out. being in cedar has made me realize that money doesn't make itself and he has always provided for my family. and I love him for being the crazy hard worker that he is. really there's not a minute when my dad isn't doing something that is going to benefit me and my brothers. I love that he is so funny (although not quite as funny as he thinks he is) (; and always down for a good chat. I love you dad (:
