Wallet is FOUND!

So guess what? On Saturday night, I found my wallet... Yup, I found it! Four times actually. Then I woke up and realized that it was just a dream. Oh well such is life.

So Saturday, I'll let you all know that I was pretty stressed out about losing my wallet, partly because I figured that I just placed it somewhere odd. Then I'd find it, out in the open, plain and simple. I kept praying and had a good feeling about it. So I figured, "What the heck, why am I not finding it."

After I had come to the conclusion that I would not find my wallet, and that it was most likely lost at the movie theater, I prayed. and an interesting and funny thought came into my head:

"Well, at least you didn't lose your soul. Aren't you glad you don't need an ID to get into Heaven."

I think Heavenly Father has a great sense of humor. If you look at your problems in life with an eternal perspective, they always just seem so trivial and funny. With that I pretty much knew that it was gone, and there's no sense in crying over spilled milk. So I got over it, made plans to replace everything, and got on with my life. Such is life.

If you were a wallet, where would you hide?

Ah, it is beautiful here ... warm, or hot, and sometimes rainy. yay! My sister may come to visit this week, or the 2nd week in June.. and my mom. =D That would be fun. I'm slowly learning to drive a stick.. (our new car is a stick). And J has lost his wallet. This makes the car situation an interesting one, seeing as how I can't drive our car; it's made our car pretty much useless unless in use by others for the past couple of days. So this experience of searching for his wallet begs the question, if YOU were a wallet, where would YOU hide? and Are wallets like gnomes - do they travel the world and take pictures of themselves? or Are they more like socks, they just disappear into the Void? I'd like to think they're like gnomes, myself. And that we'll get a picture in the mail of his wallet in front of the Eiffel Tower next week - with all the money, credit cards, and his license still inside.

In other news, i'm about to start my VERY LAST semester of Massage School yay! Just 2 more months and then I'll be making some money, and we can be independent. huzzah!

Show me the Car Fox!

Yes, that is correct, we have ferretted out the car for us. Thanks to the sleuthing abilities of J + Creig's List. Friday we drove all over Colorado looking at various Honda Civics; then, at the end of the day, just as we were settling for a car that needed a new muffler, Dad Quillen told us there was a guy in the next neighborhood over who was selling his Honda Accord at his garage sale- a car very similar to our old car in Hawaii - for 2000. We checked it out, test drove it, and purchased it. Thank goodness for Dad and garage sale-ing! We get the car Tuesday, and in between now and then we'll take a look at the car's history - the car facts.

Blog

I wish I blogged more.

Yea, even babes did open their mouths and utter marvelous things

So we were in church today, and there was a family sitting in the row ahead of us. They had an 11-year-old boy who was sitting on the bench, half laying down. His head had been on his dad's knee, but then migrated to the bench. About half way into the sacrament meeting, a little one-and -a-half-year-old boy two rows in front of us (the row in front of the laying-down boy) turned around. He saw the 11-year-old, furrowed his brow, and in a very shocked, appalled, and cute little boy voice, said, "Sit up." He said it in a tone that said, "are you seriously laying down?" Immediately the 11-year-old sat straight up and stayed that way the rest of the sacrament.

Awesome! lol we had a good laugh when we heard that.

Chivalry is dead?

So, I was at work and I was with three female students, one male student, and one female staff. We were all about to enter a door to a business, and the male student opened it and walked in, leaving the door to almost shut on the three female students. The female staff said, "I guess chivalry is dead hu?" and the three female students simultaneously asked, "Who's Chivalry?" and the female staff said, "MY POINT EXACTLY!"

Lol, sad day. GET WITH IT GUYS!

An Old Friend.

They say the world is small in the Church. Well, it is. I had a friend from New Zealand in my analytical chemistry class get called to Colorado on his mission. I told him he should look out for my family. He was never in our ward though. It turns out that his married sister lived next to our apartment and we became good friends with her. She and her husband's name are Sarah and Tui, with a cute little boy named Malichi. Well, as it turns out, for my job, we meet at an LDS church on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and one day, low and behold, I find a flock of missionaries, buzzing about transfers. So I look around, and sure enough, I see my friend, Elder Brunton. He's pretty much awesome.... and he looks all grown up now!

Now if it looks like I have some kind of metal machine in my mouth, I don't. I just took a picture with a camera that wasn't mine, and so the quality wasn't super good. But it was still a nice memory.

How do you like the picture Sarah? Doesn't he just look all grown up?
