Adventure Thursday #4

I really need to broaden my adventures and do more than explore lovely town main streets, eh? But hey, we've only had four official Thursday Adventures, and as they get bigger and better we will do even more fantastic things. This is just the beginning.

Mainstreet Nauvoo, Illinois.

The Nauvoo Temple

In case you're new to this and don't know what I mean by Thursday Adventures-- every Thursday I go on an adventure, and anyone who wants to join me is welcome. Our adventures aren't big and fancy, they are the little things that become spectacular, when spent with other adventurers. There is always someone new, but no one feels left out. They began this summer, but I hope they will continue as long as people long for adventure. Through the craziness of summer, getting Thursdays planned has been messed up at times, but I can see the seeds of adventure starting to grow in my friends. Little moments suddenly mean something more, any random thing can suddenly be an opportunity for a picture, for a memory. I want to make memories with my friends in as many places as I can. I want to make life into a series of adventures, no matter how hard or how simple. I want people to come together, whether they are friends yet or not, and spend their time doing something classy. I want to share my passions with other people. That is what Thursday Adventures are all about.

Music of the day: Mindy Gledhill. Top songs: Pocketful of Poetry. All the Pennies. 

Adventure Thursday #2

Every other adventurer was super busy today, except for Alex, so he and I explored Downtown Provo. We went thrift shopping, and found a couple of really cool stores. I even got some good shoes for the Nauvoo Pageant that my family is doing in just a week!

Cold feet? Just plug in your socks.

What a good day. Adventures are great, you should try one sometime.

A Beautiful Funeral

This morning I went to a beautiful funeral. My friend Marohn's little 5yo brother was killed in a boating accident last Friday. The funeral was full of strength and testimony and light, because they understand that Keaton's mission on this earth was completely fulfilled, and they will see him again, once their missions are fulfilled as well.

Just a couple weeks ago Marohn was sending me cute pictures of her brother, and I was sending pictures of my little brother Canon, in return.

Her little brother went back to live with Heavenly Father, mine is still with me.

I'm gonna go hug him for the millionth time now.
