"my cup runneth over"

I don't know how many people have seen "Facing the Giants" but it's a very cheesy movie with an incredible message. It's one of my mom's favorites. When the main character feels that he has been given so much as the end he says, "I feel so overwhelmed!" It's a little bit comical, but I really can't think of a better way to describe how I have felt recently. I have been flooded with miracles and blessings. Here are some of the highlights:

• First of all my older brother Alan got a job and an apartment for his cute family, which was a huge blessing. 
• On Monday I was able to enjoy my last day of break before school with some of my fam and friends. Kevin, Michelle and I went on a walk by a river and then Kevin and I got in because it was so hot.

It was FREEZING!

 

 

• Tuesday I started classes for spring and I fell in love with my floral design class and actually didn't mind Econ.

• On Wednesday was the best part of all. I got a new nephew! It was Michelle and Kevin's first child and that in and of itself was a miracle. They had waited a long time to be able to have a baby at all and Kevin was supposed to be moving to Colorado for a summer internship before his actual due date. We have all been praying that, if he was healthy enough, he could be born early enough so Kevin could be here. Her due date was May 21st and he came on the 25th of April and was very healthy and EXTREMELY cute. 
• That same day I also found out that I received a half tuition scholarship for academics from BYU which was a huge blessing because I have worked really hard to get good enough grades so that I could get one I didn't think I had made it. 






• Because of all of the excitement on Wednesday I didn't have a lot of time to do my Econ and I didn't have very much sleep in me so I had a minor breakdown. One of my good friends asked me the next day how I was doing and I told him about it. Then when I got home I there were flowers for me. I seriously have the best friends!
• On Friday I was supposed to be helping my brother move and we weren't going to have a lot of help. Then I asked some of my guy friends in the ward and they all were willing to help. It made the work much more fun and much faster. 
• Also my incredible roommate left me a note and ice cream. 
• I also got to talk to two of my best friends this week: Ashlena and Cami. I love talking to them, it always brightens my day. 

 

 
It has been a great week full of more blessings than I thought was possible. It is amazing to be able to feel so much love at one time. It makes the whole world brighter. "my cup runneth over" with love and gratitude for the wonderful people in my life that make weeks like this happen.
