Adjusting the Sails

So, I'm already slacking a little bit in the update department. Oh well :) I will quickly go through the past week because it's been a BLAST! I've hung out with loads of people. My roommates are social so it's a good thing. I have gotten sore legs from walking. Last week I worked out a few days, then I was like, 'walking this hill is enough.' so I've been lazy since then. Hmm...last Monday we taught some boys to drive stick. And I went job hunting. Tuesday Jessica and I made PB and J smoothies, and I went job hunting. Wednesday Emily and I started Connections class. Mine was interesting. Of course I got the class that went from 9-5 while everyone else got finished at 3:30. Thursday I had connections. I went to the bank.  I had a job interview.  We went to a comedian/magician, and it was pretty funny! Friday I got to eat breakfast with the author of our Connections book. He is really cool. Such a great example of humility, hard work, and patience. Afte...

The title might seem weird, but it is from a quote by Thomas S. Monson. He said, " We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum happiness, peace, and contentment, may we   choose   a positive attitude."  One of the hardest things for me in my life is realizing that I have the power over myself to have happiness, peace, and contentment.  I can adjust the sails when the wind gets rough. So mostly the title of this blog is to remind me of that, but it is also because I want to try to keep the blog in a positive attitude. We'll see ;) Anyway, so this morning we set off on our lovely journey. My daddy came...
