Comedy Central

This week was pretty amusing for Jake and I, for several reasons. Apparently one night around 2 am, I sat up in bed, still fast asleep. I said "Goodbye, beaver," waved, and then lay back down. Jake told me about it the next morning and has been teasing me about it all week...it was pretty funny, though, so I can't say I blame him! That same day, Jake proceeded to get his hand stuck in the mason jar that we keep our spare change in, and I had to help pull the jar off. Honestly sometimes I feel like I'm babysitting this goofball more than being his wife! I guess that's just part of marriage, though.

On Saturday morning, Jake was getting ready for work and we were goofing off as usual. He went into the bathroom to take a shower and I chased after him. I guess he didn't know I was following him, because when I burst against the bathroom door as he was trying to close it, he screamed like a little girl and looked seriously frightened. I started crying I was laughing so hard and nearly fell over. It was a great way to start the day...I highly recommend uncontrollable laughter first thing in the morning, it really wakes you up!

This Week's Spiritual Thought

This week I've been working on my Doctrine & Covenants Study Book. I got it for my D&C class this coming semester, which doesn't start until April 20th, but I was just so excited about it that I started it right away haha. D&C is my favorite of the four gospels, so I've read it several times, but I'm already learning a LOT because of this book! The book begins with Joseph Smith History, which isn't technically even part of D&C but I've found it to be really helpful in "setting the stage" historically for when D&C came about and whatnot. The book asks really insightful questions that help you to apply the scriptures more personally to your own life, which is something I struggle with and I'm sure I'm not alone. Some insights I pulled out of Joseph Smith History are:

--Don't be afraid to go looking for your own answers, even if popular opinions are trying to persuade you one way or another. Look for truth for you, personally.

--Satan will always try to keep us from moving in the right direction. If you're facing adversity, push forward! That's how you know you're going the right way.
