So many wonderful things happen every day. just little things. Yet it seems the last 24 hours or so have been especially wonderful. Lets begin last night.
I got a phone call at 6 pm in which I was informed of the opportunity for a job interview later that same night. I went to the interview and (if i do say so myself) totally rocked it. I then went to see my dearest Emma bear and together we went to get gelato with her thumb for cash.
After that I went home and received another phone call telling me I had gotten the job!!!! YAY!! I finally did it! Actually I didn't do it, because frankly I didn't do anything different, it was all the Lord, He did it! But, I've finally got a job!! I've only been looking for 4 months!! Sometimes God just needs you to learn lessons, I don't know if mine was patience or thrift, or both but I hope I learned them. That event finished off my day very nicely and I slept soundly dreaming of the BYU Creamery Produce Aisle (not really).
Today I slept in and brought Marissa and her sausage balls up to campus. Skipped my first class, then went to the last two classes of the semester!! After that it was to the library. Or as my good friend Becca called it, "strengthening my relationship with Harold." (Harold B. Lee Library). I also made lunch plans for Saturday with my good friend Sarah who will be in town starting tomorrow. I also texted for a while with my lovely friend Jordan who now lives in Seattle with her husband. I find myself spending so much time in the library recently, and since that's where I usually saw Jordan, I find myself looking for her beautiful long hair, and cute clothes...but alas it was not to be.
When I got too hungry to solve polynomial inequalities I headed home, but not before I saw a certain book on the shelf. It's blue binding and gold lettering stood out to me and I thought I'd admire it. Upon closer inspection I decided this book was coming home with me.
It was beautiful and old (published in 1894). On my way home with my new treasure I realized what it was. It is entitled Year book of English Authors by Ida Scott Taylor. It has a page for every date of the year. Printed on each page are poems and quotations. I immediately went to my birthday and read the lovely poems there. I had plans with Emma to make dinner at my house tonight, so I thought I'd see what her birthday page looked like. I discovered that the book's pages were not separated for that date. I left them connected for Emma to break the seal. She could read the pages no one had ever read before! I later found that many pages were like this. I wonder if the original owner (Nephi Jensen), whose name is inscribed in the front cover, ever read the book. The library due date log is completely empty so as far as I can tell it has never been checked out either! I have never wanted to steal something as badly as I want to steal this book from the library. I wonder if it would be missed, seeing as no one has ever noticed the poor book before.
I also watched my netflix today...twice. Its a movie called Bella. I loved it. It made me cry and fall in love. "You must Reaaally love Mexico"
I recommend over one hundred year old books and movies called Bella. I also recommend sausage balls.

you look like a mexican. and my thumb does turn everything to gelato. and you and your book are magic, mexican produce lady.
hooray for getting a job! I love that you can find these simple pleasures in life (aside from big ones like finding a job). And sausage balls sound delightful...are they like meatballs?
they are sort of like meat balls, but made in the oven with sausage.
