i have been so exhausted lately. tryouts + two a days + a tournament is not necessarily a good combination. and i can't believe school starts next week. eeeeek! 

happenings.

Oldie but goodie.

"Jesus has chosen, even in a resurrected, otherwise perfected body, to retain for the benefit of His disciples the wounds in His hands and in His feet and in His side - signs, if you will, that painful things happen even to the pure and the perfect; signs, if you will, that pain in this world is not evidence that God doesn't love you; signs, if you will, that problems pass and happiness can be ours." 

-Jeffrey R. Holland

I'm so grateful for my scars, on the inside and outside, that keep me humble and forever in remembrance of my Savior. 

The perfect day.

Today I finally got to ride! Ah! Let me tell you, I was exploding with happiness the entire time. And I had been looking forward to this literally all summer. Highlight for sure.

It was in the middle of nowhere, but the drive was beautifulllllll. In fact I love being in the middle of nowhere. 

But then we got there... and the lady hadn't booked us. I was like heck no no way this is happening. So we waited for an hour. 

 Decided to drive down to Moon Lake and... 

got stuck in the sand. Luckily the 3 Nephites were nearby with a tow strap and towed us out. Embarrassing. To say the least. (But such a typical papa farns move...)

But we finalllly gots to riding. And oh man. It was wonderful! Glorious! Beautiful! Blissful! I could stay on that horse forever.
