Do you ever feel just kind of blah? like you would rather sit inside and read a book? I find myself getting into these funks that last a few weeks and have to drag myself out to socialize....and I'm sure everyone can see it. I dont know how to get over it, its so annoying...and it's pretty normal for me to get like that....I just don't like that part of myself I guess :)
But, anyways, ;) It's the 4th of July and Im hanging out in my apartment..haha...sad huh!! I didn't know what anyone was really up to accept going to SLC to watch the lights. Unfortunately, I have to get up at 530 for work so this didn't sound like the best idea for me... :( lame o!! I totally would have otherwise. But I did call my mom and talk to her about boys (when it rains, it poors!! Man alive! ha) and family stuff. I just love em! River has started smiling really big and she is SO CUTE!
I did go to see Brad Paisley this weekend! It was SO AWESOME!!! I will say it was strange hearing some of those lyrics in the BYU stadium...I've never even thought of his music as being inappropriate at ALL...but for some reason, in that stadium, I was extra sensitive to it. The show was awesome though, the lights were huge and breathtaking and in-your-face (no one got injured this time though ;) )...SO Amazing!!
This is the only time you will see so much red in this stadium ;)
David Archuletta also came. I got his picture but we were literally sitting so high up that I could have touched the scoreboard, so the picture was very blurry when I zoomed in. My roommate sang in the Fire Choir. I just can't get over how great the show was!!
My ward has also been extremely active. It's amazing what happens in the Summer out here! People have all this pent up energy that they have to let out, so there is something happening every night, literally. (Too bad I don't know what it is tonight...) I feel this overwhelming burden that I am just not good enough for this calling, maybe that is where this funk is coming from. Though we have a very active ward, we have about 15 less actives and about 20 that never come to activities....(actually probably more like 40)....and the Elders are doing GREAT! The sisters are slipping through the cracks like no other. I am aware of their names, but I don't know much about them. I'm trying (like, I will knock on their doors and visit..if they are there!...but there are so many!) , and I don't want to be that annoying Relief Society President, so I try to send out visiting teachers, and we assign people from Ward Counsel also, and we divide them up amongst the RS Counselors as well. I just feel like the Lord is wringing me like a wet rag and showing me all of my imperfections....I used to be so confident in my callings. Not this one! All of a sudden my frailties are extremely visible....and I'm sure some of the girls don't like me...sigh..it's easy to give advice to people in this situation, but not easy when you are in it! haha!
Oh Shayna, I can't imagine you being antying BUT amazing at your calling--the girls in your ward should feel lucky and blessed to have you as their president! And that show looked awesome...when I heard who was singing at it I wanted to go so bad but already had other plans--super glad you got to enjoy it though!
