Answer:
Practical Answer: definition of vignette: A brief evocative description, account, or episode.
Emotional--I am old fashioned, and I love words that become lost as time goes on! I first heard this word in Anne of Green Gables and have loved it ever since--sigh.
So some of the things in my blog may seem dull, but to me they are the threads of my life that make my life tapestry. Here are some of my life threads as of late:
1) I have been trying to run at least three-four times a week for the last couple months, which has been. . . good for this main reason: I love to be outside and look at the beautiful view we have in North Ogden.
However, with all great views come hills--steep ones. When I go up the hills I walk, and then I run on the same streets a few times that are horizontally straight (the neighbors must get sick of me passing by three times in ten minutes and petting their dogs--it makes running worth it!)I still don't love running. at. all. I like petting the random dogs, looking at the view, and feeling accomplished after I come home. These are the ONLY things I enjoy about running. I hope this changes. 2) New Beginnings was last week, and I absolutely LOVE my laurels. My fellow young women leaders are amazing decorators.
These 5 laurels are just amazing, and I love hearing about their prom dates, their schooling, feelings etc. I went to the temple with them a couple weeks ago where they did baptisms for the dead. There was such a wonderful spirit there. It was neat to think how much my life has changed in the past year, and how just a year ago I was doing baptisms and although I loved doing them, I felt left behind as most, if not all, of my friends had gone through the temple by that point. You never know when the next big turn in the road is. My life has changed so much in the last year--masters degree, teaching certificate, the end of schooling, marriage, a house, a move, etc. The Lord knows what we need just when we need it, and all our plans and tapestries are different, but they are a perfect pattern for us, even when it seems tangled and messy from the side we see. 3)Ben and I just received an additional calling: Youth Conference Directors. If anyone has ever been to Lava Hot Springs, feel free to give us tips of what to sign up for there! This will be a fun calling; starting the planning is always the hardest part.
4)
We went to City Creek with my parents last week the Friday after it opened, and it was so fun to feel the energy there, fueled by thousands of people. It will be fun to go back when we have more time. There were people dressed up as flower pots who cleverly posed sporadically. How do people get jobs like these?!?
5)I learned how to make coffee from Polish and German business men at my dad's company meeting where I was in charge of the food. Apparently, instant coffee does NOT go in a coffee maker; it is like hot chocolate where you pour it into hot water. I will never forget standing in the kitchen for twenty minutes with my dad's business partner, a stake president, trying to figure out how to work the coffee maker, reading all the instructions, the Europeans coming in, daring each other to try it first, tasting it, and then teaching me the REAL way; they thought it was hilarious, luckily. Good thing they knew we were Mormon :)
It is the end of March, and I am SO excited because so many fun things are happening:
General Conference with Ben's family
Time with Ben's mom while the men are at Priesthood
going to the Conference center Sunday!
