The random elements that make up my life...

The bubbles, the bubbles, the bubbles, the bubbles, the bubbles... my bubbles!

The View... and the climb...

Today I got the amazing opportunity to go with the Lichfield YSA to the Malvern Hills, Benbow's Farm and Gadfield Elm chapel, which are beautiful church history sites, from the times of missionaries such as Wilford Woodruff, John Taylor and Brigham Young.

We had a lovely day with great food, great company and we were showered with kindness.

Bitter and the sweet

Giggling again... :)

Life has taken a slightly serious tone recently- or my view of it has- so I thought I'd write on here a few things that I have giggled at or had fun with today.

I worked for 18 hours yesterday/today and as soon as I got finished I was in dire need of three things:

1) Sleep

2) Cuddles

3) FOOD

What better way to celebrate birth than a near death experience?

Becky, my younger sister, turned 18 this weekend and it has been a very active, crazy birthday!

For one thing, she decided we would go coasteering on her special day...
I don't think we knew quite what to expect when we got there, but we soon found ourselves scrambling, swimming, crawling, climbing and jumping!! I was so proud of myself for the things I did- though admittedly there was a definite moment where I began to have a mental breakdown on the side of the cliff. I was dizzy and shaking with my toes hanging over the edge! However, I did it- and all the pictures that you can see of a small figure hurtling towards the sea are, in fact, me!

Be Perfect???

I have been thinking a lot recently about the Saviour in light of me reading 'Jesus the Christ' and the New Testament and generally reflecting a lot on the atonement and how it applies to me. I think I've never really taken the time out to understand why we have such a need for what Christ did for us. However, I've come to understand more recently how essential it is to everyone to learn how to apply the atonement.

Sabbath day...

I'm not exactly Carrie Bradshaw, admittedly, but I couldn't resist putting this picture up on here because to me, that is what I like to do and how you will often find me. On my bed, typing on my computer, with my phone to my ear.

Side note: (Not to worry anyone but there was a spider in my room earlier, in the right corner. Now it is nowhere to be seen.
AH! On closer inspection, it has now been located on the wall behind me. They're sneaky things, those spiders. I might even just have to spin around so it can't creep up on me...)
