*Note: My "new" life is in reference to the fact that A LOT of changes have taken place the past couple months and especially this week. i.e. Graduating from college, starting a new job, my parents leaving for the Missionary Training Center, moving into my apartment, having a boyfriend (I still need to introduce you), quitting my "student job" of 5 years, being in a brand new ward, new blog design ;) etc.
THIS WEEK I DISLIKE:
Not eating breakfast
(and sometimes lunch),
Not having a bathtub in my apartment
(Week 1 isn't even over and I'm already having withdrawals),
Not sleeping quite enough
(Yikes! I'm just asking for illness. Knock on wood),
Gas prices,
Living in a (soon-to-be-organized) mess,
Working from 7a-9p,
Driving and driving and driving,
The convenience of eating out vs. the inconvenience of working out,

THIS WEEK I LOVE:
My loving and supportive family & friends,
My “New” Life,
These long and gloriously hot summer days,
Shopping for my own groceries
(I knew I would enjoy that),
Easy hairstyles
(Thanks to my magic wand...curling iron),
Counting down to the Harry Potter 7 Part 2 Midnight Showing,
(21 DAYS!)
Converting people to Harry Potter,
The iPod I lovingly refer to as "myPod,"
The peace I get from FHE and Temple night
(P.S. I love my ward),
Reading Il Libro di Mormon,
My brother's GPS system,
Having the coolest parents in the universe,
Midnight calls after long work days,
Chalkboard mouse pads,
Having a cubicle,
Reading children's books out loud with a cute boy,
The awesome/hilarious people I get to intern/work with
- - -
I think it's fair to say, as I weigh the outcome of these lists, that, though life isn't perfect and I'm still working out the kinks in my new life, the blessings continue to come as I am trying to do my best and I still happen to very much love this beautiful Life that I've been blessed with...in all it's crazy freshly newness!
Add "run-on" sentences to my Love list.
I'm real good at those!
May your "Loves" always outweigh your "Dislikes"

My loves usually do outweigh my dislikes. But sometimes those dislikes are just so much more OBVIOUS than my loves. Haha!
