"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Spring Break???

~Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.

Alright, so about my weekend... last 3 day weekend this semester... last day off for 2 months...

I went home Friday afternoon. Felt so free driving out of Provo. Friday night I got to hang out with some friends I hadn't seen in two months-like I said in my last post :) I love the start of a long weekend, or just a weekend at home. Cuz there's so much time ahead of me.

Saturday we had family pictures! Haha, I actually don't exactly like pictures just cuz I worry so much. One hair is out of place... I didn't do my makeup quite right... one thing wrong and all the pictures have it in it. And, I've had problems keeping my eyes open for pictures in the past :) But these ones turned out pretty good in my opinion :) And I actually really enjoyed the morning taking pictures.

I just have to say, I have an awesome family. And I love when we all get together :) We did pictures for two hours and went to lunch and spent about as long again deciding what to buy. But it was a lot of fun... and I got to hold my nephew a lot :) He's so adorable!

Saturday night my brother and sister-in-law invited us over to play Kinect. I got to see my boyfriend for the first time in a week! And it was a lot of fun overall :) Haha, the only thing is I don't particularly like watching the video of me looking crazy pretending to play a game.

Sunday... homecoming, single's ward, family dinner, games... and Monday I went to lunch with my little brother and we went to Winco. It is a good thing I don't shop there often because their bulk candy is very tempting. We ended up getting a few bags of candy and splitting it when we got home. I now have chocolate! It isn't the best quality but it wasn't too expensive and it's good incentive to get homework done!

Monday evening I went to the movies again (haha, I seem to do that a lot lately)-this time with my boyfriend :) We saw "Unknown"-was pretty good and didn't turn out at all like I expected. I hate the night before I go back to Provo. Come back? Hate saying goodbye to everyone and knowing how much homework I have to do before I go home again. I'm a little attached to things I'm familiar with and comfortable with I guess.
