Elder Beecher,

I was so, so happy to get your email and hear that our fasting helped! We sure do think of you, so much. I know that our God is a God of miracles, and that He really does give us all we need. You have definitely gained a witness of this throughout your mission, and I think that testimony is essential.

As I was getting ready for church today I just kept thinking about how lucky and blessed I am to have the knowledge of the gospel, and how I couldn't function without it. There is so much to worry about even with the knowledge of who I am, where I came from and where I'm going--I can't imagine living without it. I'm so proud and grateful that you have spent this time sharing the light we have with the world.
You have been so strong, and accomplished so much in helping the Lord's work progress.

It's kind of odd that this is the last email I will be sending to you. I'm sure you have some things to wrap up as the last email sesson/pday, so I will be brief.

Jared is here visiting this weekend. We've had a wonderful couple of days together, and we're going to the family's tonight for dinner. It's been so, so great to just be able to be with him, instead of having to just rely on talking on the phone. With just that I forget he's a real person...kind of like you, hah. But needless to say this weekend has been spectacular so far. He has an interview at the MTC tomorrow to teach, and then three more weeks and then he's back foreva!
I feel stupid talking about dumb details of my life because, I don't know if you know this, but I'm going to see you on FRIDAY.
So be good. Keep the faith.
Know how much I love you, and how much Heavenly Father loves you. I know that He is so proud of you and will bless you so immensely for your service. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh I LOVE YOU!! GOSH, I JUST LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU! alksdjflaksdjflaksdjflaskdjf. It is overwhelming sometimes. Like right now.

Yeah, so, see you later. Like on Friday.

Holy crap friday! You hit it on the head sister! We are going to just party and cry and love each other and go crazy! Oh man I am freaking out right now! I have truly been blessed! I love you so much thanks for all the e-mails and love throughout the (literally) yearS. So glad we are going to be reunited so soon! Well I can't even think right now but just know I love you and I can't wait to see you in 100 hours!

Forget being a Mary Kay consultant.

I wish DI wanted to pay me to advertise for them--because I totally would. Will.
My entire outfit yesterday cost me a grand total of $11. And it was cute.
I'm adoring my thirtyseven new pairs of shoes, although the zapatos I am currently wearing are full of weird yellow sand. It's a package deal. You pay four dollars flat for these amazing shoes, and they thrown in weirdyellowsand as bonus. Thanks, DI.

If I were the spokeswoman of DI (and this is a real possibility, because why would they not want me? Plus I am cooler than all those little stick figures drawn around the globe) these would be my selling points:
1. DI has a very distinct odor, that is unpleasant only until one arrives at the blazer round

2. Which is brimming with mounds of shoulder pads and conspicuously large circus pants.
a. and crushed velvet jewel encrusted numbers that warrant a separate trip to show your co-workers.

3. You can buy books for like, 50 cents. I cannot stress this one enough. Do you know how much fifty cents is?

4. You can also buy a sweet comforter/picnic blanket that you can wash with a sweet floral dress that Claire apparently had in the fifth grade that can be also washed with a five dollar beach towel from Wal Mart which will leave your sweet comforter and floral dress covered in sticky pink lint growth. Stupid Wal Mart.

5. They have the most excellent selection of wedding dresses. I am considering making a wedding blog entirely devoted to DI weddings. Like DIY, but only DI. I understand if you want to be involved.

6. You can go there during work to buy supplies for your commercial.

7. And you can find THIS lovely, lovely...item in the process. This is the most convincing reason of all. Because it is magic, at the low, low price of $4. This is the tops, darlings. I am telling you, there is nothing better in this world than what you have just witnessed. Except for maybe putting on the Magic yourself...which can be arranged, probably.

8. There are jewelry cases, with LOCKS. For the 75% off $4 collections, of course.

9. THERE IS A GLADYS NIGHT CD FOR $1.00. My favorite track, currently, is "Good Morning, Heavenly Father."

10. All the workers wear those incredible maroon vests, so official. Maybe if my gig as a spokeswoman doesn't work out, I will consider employment so I can obtain one of these vests.

I will be posting pictures of these things of beauty I have described to you.
Feel free to tell me what a great DI representative I would be.

Drinking Fountain Findings

As we (type/read), outside of my office, in the drinking fountain, there is a blade of grass.
Grass in the drinking fountain. My first reaction was, "Oh, cool! Grass!" And then I thought, "Well, I should probably be a little grossed/weirded out by this."
I'm still stuck on the first thought train.

Please share all your nasty/cool drinking fountain/other public entity findings with me.

Copycat

Mee toooo! Everything looks better as a polaroid, right.

I will name my firstborn 'June'

June 3, 2009.
This June's gonna be a great June. Possibly a June to kick all other June's butts.
My brother, my older brother, my best friend brother, gets to fall into my arms in no less than nine days. NINE. I don't know how experienced you are at counting, but people, this is HUGE. Or rather--very small.
If you have spoken to me in the past oh, five months, you understand that I am going crazy. nuts. bonkers. batty. dopey. alfjdalksfjdalsjdfioasjdf.
This brother of mine, he's been a favorite for a while now. A recent favorite: this boy I know named Jared. He's pretty cool. HE gets to fall into my arms...er, I mean, yeah, whatever...in no less than two days, for short, and twenty-one days for long.

Also coming this June: Disneyworld. 'Nuff said, yes?! Family vaca, altogether for the first time in a long time, and probably for the last time in a long time.
Yes, yes, June, I'm feeling pretty great about you this go round.

Honest Monday

I suppose every day should be honest, but this Monday I am being extra up front.
This translates to complaining.

I HAVE THE BIGGEST MOSQUITO BITE IN HISTORY. AND I have no idea how it happened, because it is in a, er, remote location, where clothing was absolutely covering--or rather, is covering, at all times (unless, of course, I am undressing in front of the entire Enclave--a different topic entirely. More on that in a bit). I would take a picture, but. hmf. Just trust me. This thing is hugemongous. Bigfoot in mosquito bite form. This is not a joke. And this means itching, people. OHHHH it begs me to scratch and claw and X-mark all day long! Which presents yet another problem: because of the remote location of Bigfoot Bite, it doesn't look so hot to onlookers when I oblige. To top it all off, I have about seventeen other bites obtained from a grand total of two hours outside yesterday. The most ridiculous of these being right below my left eyebrow. Who knew there was even stuff to suck there? Freak, I'm going to need a blood transfusion by the end of the summer.

I really, really, really like chocolate covered cinnamon bears. And I consumed a ridiculous amount today.

I recently learned that I sometimes unknowingly undress in front of the entire Enclave; turns out if you twist the blinds UP it appears as if your blinds are completely open. Now the entire ward will be painfully aware of Bigfoot Bite. Pooh, poo.

I really, really hate dressing up for work some days. And I don't even dress up that much! It was a mad rush for the pj's upon arriving home today, and I am most likely going to attend FHE in the "Official Band Member: Watch out for BURSTS of Enthusiasm" shirt I am sporting.
I lead such an unglamorous life. Sometimes I'm bad at being girly.

Other times I am really, really good at being girly. e.g. with Jared Schultz. My boyfriend, hehh. I'm good at being girly-annoying in that category, yep.

I really, really would like Kaylie to come over this minute. She is quite a lovely girl, and my Self needs more of her Self. And so, I submit this query to the universe: please bring me more Kaylie, I would like this very much, please and thank you, Brooke.

And that is all for bloggifying my steady stream of whining. Thanks for tuning in.
