in other news, may 3rd was PROM!!!!!!!! hate to burst the excitement bubble, but i didn't get asked. yeah, senior year... didn't go.... oh well. my friend cassidy and i went and saw iron man 3 instead!! so awesome. if you haven't seen it, go. ohhh and no big deal or anything but my birthday was this past saturday! may 4th! i'm 18 :) i spent the day at Temple Square taking beautiful pictures of my future castle (pictures brought to you by myrandathurmanphotography) it was such a nice day and i enjoyed it very much. later that same day, i had a "party" with some of my best friends. they came over to my house, we ate some olive garden, and we watched leap year :) cutest movie ever! (even though the redhead chick bugs me a bit!) it had a perfect ending... just like i'm praying my story will <3
school is winding down, thankfully. i took my AP psychology test yesterday and it wasn't too bad. besides the first FRQ which i totally bombed on, but other than that ;) i think i did alright. graduation is in 23 DAYS and then i'm outta here for a month; i'm going on heritage tours. i can't wait for that. we're gonna go visit all the LDS church history sights! i think i'm most excited for Adam-Ondi-Ahman, where the Lord will go when He comes again. or maybe navoo. or new york. i don't know actually. wherever we go, i'm just ready to feel and experience an incredible spirit.
yesterday was p-day:) we all know what that means!! EMAILS!!!!!!! well, to be honest, i usually don't get any because Elder Cook prefers hand written letters, but i checked anyway and...... drum roll please...... there were TWO in there from him! umm yeah. you could imagine the look and smile on my face when i saw them. it was a birthday email:) you have to know why i was so happy though. you see, the previous thursday before my birthday, i'd been expecting a letter. i went to the mailbox though, and there was nothing there. i basically broke down that day because i thought, "of all the weeks to skip out on writing me, you chose my birthday week?" anyway, long story short, he did email yesterday and apologize for not being able to write. this email/letter was my favorite so far. he said, "I hope this brightens your day my sweet dearest most sincere friend. the love of my life, you're the apple to my pie, you're the straw to my berry, you're the one i wanna... marry.... Sister Thurman you're a wonderful choice (est) daughter of God. No one like you will ever walk the face of this earth. You are unique and one of a kind. You're truly a divine Daughter of God. He loves you and so do I." :) ahhhhhh!!!! i love him... and miss him so very much.
lastly, i just have to add - it is pouring rain as i write this part of the post, and it's taking me back in time :) back to the time when we danced outside in the pouring rain to our favorite songs. i was in his big yellow sweatshirt and he was in a t-shirt. we were drenched in 2 minutes, but didn't care... we danced like no one was watching. we sang like no one could hear. and we loved like nothing could tear us apart. i still remember the look on his face as he looked at me, sopping wet. he, not having a care in the world as to what my hair looked like, whether or not makeup was streaming down my face, or whether or not people were watching. he held me close, told me i was beautiful and made me feel like i was the most important person in the world.
i can't wait to dance our timeless waltz again when he comes home :)
thanks for reading and have a great week!!
