For some reason, this week has just been really stinky. It seemed to begin on a stressful note & then proceed to go down hill from there. I told a couple of friends a story about my Monday. Basically, I had gone to bed late on Sunday night so I didn't catch up on sleep from prom, & then got up in the morning really early for the day. Here and there I took little naps that were just way too short and then that night had to do some work at church. I was already feeling really drained by the end of this day. But to top it off, I stepped on a snail & then that totally sent me over the edge. I cried over the snail & apologized for stepping on him...my family was really encouraging so that was sweet! But I don't really think it was the snail I had to cry over, it was just the whole day that felt chaotic. & basically, since that Monday, it has been a pretty sad week. I love gloomy weather, but when it's Spring time & California it should be sunny and bright! This overcast weather is not helping my heart at all.
Oh I just hate it when I get into my snits & let the week go to waste. I could say so much that is on my mind right now, but I suppose I'll save that for my journal.
I have so many things I have to pray for. I feel the way I do now when I am not praying & instead I'm focusing on other things of little value.
Oh I just pray that I would look beyond the things I so easily fret about here in this world. I want a eternal mindset. A heavenly mindset. I don't want to look past the blessings in my life because I'm simply too caught up in myself. My little self.
encouragement for this week:
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my
portion forever."
Psalm 73:26

Prom!
I haven't blogged in forever but that is definitely not a surprise. Like I always say, there is so much I miss out on blogging about because so much has happened since the beginning of March! But to sum it all up, life has been wonderful since & for that I feel very blessed.
This past weekend was a special one. Nathan & I went to prom at his old high school by "date swapping" with some friends, Riley & Brooke. I was a little uncertain as to how the evening would be because I had never been to a high school dance before. But it ended up being so wonderful...Instead of taking the big limo with the rest of the group, we rode with Brooke &Riley & ended up having a special time between the four of us. We went to our friend's home for pictures in her beautiful backyard, & shortly after we headed to dinner for burgers at the Habit. The rest of the time leading up to the dance was low-key & relaxed. We stopped for dessert at Baskin-Robins for ice cream before going to the Nixon Library for the rest of the night. The ballroom was beautiful and there were all sorts of yummy desserts in the hall. Nathan & I walked around the garden outside which was lovely & then we danced the rest of the night under the stars to a cute little jazz band that played good oldies from the swing era. I was in heaven! & to add to all of the fun, talking to so many old friends from Jr. High was great as well.
The after party was a great way to end the night, but I was said to let the day come to an end.
I'm holding on to my daisy corsage & Nathan's boutonniere for the memories.
