Week 17//Funkytown

     Hey remember that one time I didn't suck at blogging? Me too. 'Twas distant, but it did happen once upon a time. I apologize to anyone that I might have kept in suspense over my thrilling life. I'm writing this post while in the most random funk I have been in for quite some time. I am normally a really happy go-lucky person, but tonight I cannot shake the witchy mood I am in. It's awful. I hate feeling this way. I feel the need to cry and be angsty and be irrationally angry at everyone and everything around me. As much as these moods drive me nuts, I think it's good to have one every now and again. Otherwise, what would happen when all the negative emotions really got to me? It would likely be catastrophic.
     I feel like I need to clarify that I AM STILL HAPPY. I'm just in a funk, y'all. Happens to the best of us. I still have some of the best people in my life and I'm still feeling incredibly blessed every single day I'm on this beautiful earth (aka Utah being all weirdly warm and stuff...so odd). Now I'm just gonna tell about ALLLLL the things that I'm grateful for/loving right now, sohn.

*Thanksgiving: Alright, I know it's old news, but Thanksgiving was wonderful. My cute family came to Provo, and we feasted in my tiny apartment. It was so much fun. I love them to pieces. It was the weekend of the selfies guys. We seriously took so many.

*Hobbie: Ok. I have a new musical obsession. Think tall, british, insanely talented, and also R E A L L Y attractive. You're welcome. Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran cover is his most recent cover and it's AMAZING. Also, Skinny Love/The A Team and Happy Little Pill are seriously so good I can't even handle it. Hobbie Stuart. Remember that name.

*P&S: A short time ago, the annual PacknShip Christmas party was held, and it was a smashing success. We have a tradition of going to Sodalicious after it's over, and this year was no different. I think everyone in their cars hated us, we were so loud. Going to work at the packnship is cool because not only are you getting paid, you actually LIKE the people you're working with. It's swell.

We're cool sometimes. This was before Braden started doing scorpions all over the place and we all lost it for good. 

*Christmas: I seriously freaking love Christmas. Duh. But really though. As much as work sort of makes me hate this season and people and shipping, it is still my favorite season of the year. It is such a beautiful time of reflection and gathering near to those you love. Finals are here, but Christmas is like a carrot dangling right in front of me. When I begin to get frustrated about school, and work, and every other mundane act of my life, thoughts of the true meaning of Christmas come to mind. I am reminded of my testimony, of the knowledge that I have of a Heavenly Father who loves me an INSANE amount. I love a lot of things very deeply, but His love cannot even begin to be measured by my human standards. He sent His Son to die for me on the cross, so that one day I might return to His presence. If that isn't a beautiful reminder to get rid of the doldrums of mortality, I don't know what is. I already shared this video on Facebook, but it is so good. Please watch it. Guinness Records Largest Live Nativity. Also, it was filmed in Provo, and my roommate was a part of it, so that's even cooler. I love you guys.

til next time, BK
