Wonderful Missionary Moment!

I'm on a complete spiritual high today!

I gave my friend the Book of Mormon today, and I was terribly nervous, and I wanted to run in the other direction, but I just sucked it up, and I gave him the book!

It went tremendously wonderful :)

He responded well, saying thank you, hugging me, telling me that he wanted to read it tonight! I'm so happy right now :)

Guys, this guy is a wonderful person-he's the perfect guy to join the church, and I'm not getting my hopes up, but who knows what could happen, right?

Outfit Details

Dress-Nancy's

Tights-Michaela's

Boots-Alloy

Tanktop-Forever 21

Day two of the fashion challenge, and I'm already repeating! I'm wearing the black dress again hahaha

So pray for my friend, the one reading the Book of Mormon, and pray that I know the right thing to say!

Love, Sarai

We're almost done with senior year and I keep on thinking about what this next year will bring. I can't wait to get out there on my own especially in a big city like Portland. On the downside, Sarai and our best friend Celeste are leaving me. More like i'm leaving them since it's normal to go to BYU, but that's besides the point... With all the excitement about our futures i've realized how much things are going to change. I'll miss them bunches. Celeste and I have been buds since we were born and then Sarai came into our lives and we've been a threesome ever since we were three! (Pun!) All of these thoughts have forced me to picture who I want to become and made me cherish all of the good times we've had growing up. I wouldn't trade them for the world.

By the way, Sarai gave her friend the Book of Mormon today. She told me it went great :) Now i'm just trying to muster the courage and invite my friend to church... I hope to be as brave as my little Sarai! *imagine me saying that with a russian accent*

I Almost Fell Off a Rock Taking Pictures

Hmmmm today was a wonderful Sunday! I had all delightful lessons, I only got laughed at once or twice, my new Sunday School teacher is amazing, and my family had a superbowl sunday COMMERCIAL party! ;)

Also today was the first day of Nancy and I's fashion challenge:

We each go through and pick 20 things we don't wear very often, and switch until the end of the month.Simple. Yet challenging. We have to wear all twenty items by the end, and we have to wear at least one every day! That's where it's a bit challenging :P

But Nancy was nice and gave me some snazzy stuff!

Like the below sweater, and the skirt that is actually a dress ;)

Also I took these outside my church building

Outfit Details:

Sweater-Nancy's Charlotte Russe

Dress (worn under)-Nancy's

Tights-Ross

Shoes-Ross

And in this picture, I fell off the rock literally a half second after taking the pictures :)

Love, Sarai

PS: I'm giving a Book of Mormon to someone tomorrow. Pray for him....and me :)

TREAT!

Yesterday was such a delightful day! I was having a fantastic morning, and at lunch time, I got to go hang out with Mozelle! We're friends, but we haven't hung out in a while :(

Well Mozelle, always looking out for me, decided we should go to a cupcake shop! 

If you haven't figured it out, I LOVE cupcakes!. They're my favorite baked good, actually.....

And so of course I said yes! We drive up to this adorable little cupcake store called Treat, and I get the most delicious red velvet cupcake I've ever eaten in my entire life! The frosting, the little heart on top, the cake itself! All amazing :)

 Now, the even more lovely and exciting story behind these cupcakes? The lady who runs it, I met her at the store, might be hiring someone to run the front counter this spring! And I think if she decides to hire I have a good chance cause we talked about it :)

It was lovely, and working in a cupcake shop is my dream! Literally!

I'm so excited I just did a little wiggle! :D

So it wasn't until after I had uploaded that picture that i realized how horribly messy my bed looks and the awkward bra on my dresser... Sorry guys but i'm too lazy to retake the picture. Oh gosh! I just realized you could see all the papers underneath my bed... that's what you get for being a dedicated student, butt loads of work EVERYWHERE.

I have a little awkward since I didn't do Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Hey Nancy, you've got some skills

Why yes, i do feel pretty darn accomplished right now :) I actually had time to make the blog look a little snazier and I think it looks fabulous! The picture of the rain boots really does me in. Aside from being sick I feel great. Finals are OVER and my scholarship application is DONE! Now I can actually post regularly instead of running around like a maniac all the time without any sleep.

And this amazing woman is Eve Arnold. She was the go to photographer for Marilyn Monroe. I had some extra time between finals and started researching her online. I. Fell. In. Love. I want her skill. Enough said.
