Week One January 2016

One of my New Year Goals was to journal/ blog once every week. I think it can really help relieve stress and will help me to get my feelings out. So I'm just going to talk about my week! I'm just going to put it out there that I had very low expectations for this week, but to my surprise it was a really good week! I just wasn't very excited about going back to school after break. Sunday was so so good! We started church at 8 o'clock which I personally love! I even got up and bore my testimony! Then we had an awesome family dinner and Zac and Emily came over! Monday and Tuesday were kind of long days. Sometimes it feels like you just have to go through the motions. Which I'm not saying is a good thing by any means, but sometimes it just happens. Wednesday was a really good day though! I went to school and we had a ton of fun in Cardio Jam! I even won a fitness game. Like what?! Go Emma! Then after school I came home and I made cookies and they turned out better than I could have imagined! Then I went over to my Young Women leader's house and we made cookies for some of the girls in our class. It was actually a much needed night. I just felt happy and talking to the girls and leaders gave me such good vibes. Then I came home and we got in Family Scripture Study, and I still got to bed before 9! That is winning right(: Thursday was great as well! I brought the cookies I made the day before to some of my friends at school and they loved them! Seminary was awesome, as it always is! I got in a fantastic workout, and you know I jammed out to Hannah Montana. Not gunna lie. Then Friday came in a split second. I was a little stressed out, because I had a few tests to take, and it's almost the end of the quarter! But guess what. I GOT AN A ON MY MATH TEST! Pretty sure it's because I studied so hard and I also prayed for help. Heavenly Father always has my back, which is the most amazing thing. Then I went grocery shopping with my mom, and to most of you that probably sounds ridiculously boring, but I have a secret love for it! She let me pick out so many healthy things that I love, and I am so ready for this next week! I really like this new healthy lifestyle. Trying new things is so exciting! So, turns out this week was wonderful. Writing this made me realize that though some of these days were hard, there was good in every single day. I'm very grateful for good friends, good food, and a Heavenly Father who is so good to me. Wow, now I'm really happy. I hope you are as well. (:
See you next week!
