graveyard adventures.

If you can't be a pine
On the top of the hill
Be a scrub in the valley
But be the best little scrub
By the side of the rill.
Be a bush
If you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a highway
Then just be a trail.
If you can't be the sun
Be a star.
If you can't be a Muskee
Then just be a Bass
But the liveliest Bass
In the lake.
We can't all be Captains
Some have to be Crew
But be the best
Of whatever you are.

Toni and I went for a walk around campus as we passed the cemetery we decided to go in and look around. Some may find it a little odd and strange that we would just want to spend our evening in the graveyard but it's actually really cool and the longer I was there the more I wanted to know about these people, what they would have looked like, what their personalities were like, what their dreams were, how they lived their life, what caused them to end up here; in this place. A lot of the ones that we saw that were older couples made me want to know how they met how they ended up getting married. Some that really got to me were little infants that died 2 months after they were born or ones that would be my age now. There was one that was born on June 10th, 1990 and died the same day. As I stood there staring at that gravestone and studying that date I slowly realized, oh June 10th that's today, how sad. But wait it's on there twice so that means she died on the same day, she only lived for a few hours. Wait look at the date. 1990. she's my age. A month younger than me, she would have been 20 today. Then all these things went through my head of how she could be living the college life, she could have been my roommate, in my ward, some great. who knows.




Clearly this man LOVED his wife. he ADORED her. Makes me wish I knew them, they probably did a lot of fun things together and I bet they were a way cute couple. I hope to one day meet and marry a man who will treat me like a queen.

It's not a cemetery without crows.

accomplished.

Have you ever had one of those days or weeks where you just feel accomplished? I feel like this past week has been been like that. I mean nothing major has happened and I haven't really done any kind huge accomplishments like running a 25 mile marathon or swam across the ocean but I just feel good and happy, you know accomplished even though I haven't done anything really.
Last Monday I went down to Provo to visit my wonderful sister Chelsea and we hiked the Y. The view was so beautiful, it was a good day to go hiking that's for sure. You definitely don't see that kind of view in Ohio. I haven't seen Chelsea for awhile so it was nice to hangout with her and just have fun. I love that girlie so much! I wish I saw more of her. Then I went home Tuesday afternoon and then worked Friday and Saturday. Friday was the busiest night that Gia's has ever had since they re-opened in February. It was so crazy, Saturday was steady and chill nothing crazy like Friday. Sunday was Sunday peaceful and happy. It was nice and sunny so Megan and I went on a walk down to the temple and we just laid on the grass on the temple grounds and just talked and hung out. And now it's Monday again and my sister Toni gets back from Germany in about 3 hours, so I'm about to leave to go pick her up! I'm so excited to see her again. Last time I saw her was exactly a month ago today. So I can't wait.
