Three Digits

Today, April 21st, it has reached to 100 degrees. HOOOOT.
It's that time where you walk outside for 3 seconds and you're drenched in sweat...yaaaaay.
Oh well! That just means SUMMER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! 24 more days till graduation (scary thought). I'm ready to get out of high school; no more drama, no more ridiculous essays and math homework... oh I can hear  the heavens open! For example, I wrote a 70 PAGE research project for my English 102 class. Um, what the insanity?
Oh by the way, I work at Chik-fil-A now!!! :) Annnnd I have my license! I feel all old. gross.
I actually like my job a lot even though I have been working for 2 days. I take trays to people, check up on guests - it's pretty stellar!
So I'm doing something terrifying, I'm trying out for Senior Varieties on the 24th. I'm singing "Fix You" by Coldplay and playing the piano. I have NEVER sang in front of people before. Ever. Wish me luck!

Bittersweet. Times 3.

April 11th 2012.

Aka - the hardest day of my life.

My sweet dog Robbie was put down. His 13 years of life were quite joyous and I'm not just saying this for the sake of noise...he was THE best dog a family could have. It was VERY VERY VERY hard for my family to wrap our heads around the fact that our cute, awesome dog was going to die. And on the 11th, I cried harder than I ever had.

Ever since his death, I literally feel something missing. And it's not only an emotional feeling, it is very physical too. Coming home and seeing him gone, it's hard. Very hard.

What do I know? Even though he was a dog, I will see him again. I'm 100% sure of it. That is one of the infinite glorious parts of the Gospel! And it was time for him to go, he was in so so so much pain. I know that he is comfortable now and he is able to run without ANY pain.

I am also VERY thankful for the friends who came and comforted me when they knew how hard this was for me. I am also thankful for those who secretly left small comfort notes on my doorstep, they were given at perfect times!
