Sunday! :)

If you didn't know today is SUnday! The best day of the week! I love Sunday!! Its a day where I can relax and think about my week. and the week to come. I love Sunday because I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! I am Mormon!! Yesterday me and my co-worker, Whitney!, were talking about me being a Mormon. Whitney has lived in Utah all her life and is now going to Utah University. She does know about Mormons but she was just asking questions about certain thing. Its was a really good talk. I loved it! And we both learned a lot. So today I wanted to bear my testimony of this church.

I will start it out like how we start it out in my singles ward.

Hi, my name is Cassie Blake and I am from Alabama and this is my second semester her at the LDS Business College. I know that this church and this gospel is the truth! I know that family can be together forever. I know that I will be able to see my loved ones who have already passed on again. I know that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of the Lord just like Moses and Noah was. I know that Thomas S. Monson is called of God and that he is the prophet of this time and age. I know that the Lord will answer your prayers. If you ask the Lord with complete faith in him he will answer. I know that the Holy Ghost is always with us. He will let us know when things are right and wrong. I love living next to the Temple. the Temple is a great and wonderful place where you can talk to God and he can let you know what to do or just let you know he is there for you. I love living right next to Temple Square. Walking around temple square is so peaceful. You are able to here the sprit, even though out side the walls is a big city with all its noise. I love my family and I am grateful for all of the support that they and my friends give me. I know that I am a daughter of God. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Today the Fellows, my second family, is here visting Aly, one of my best friends who is attending BYU. They came down and went to Music and the Spoken Ward (this is a program that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir put on every Sunday morning) and then they are going to go to church with me. And I am going to sing today at church. I am so excited to see them! And to see Aly. I haven't seen her since Christmas. I cant wait to show them my school. If you didn't know LDC Business College is just one building that had 10 floors. I LOVE it!!!!!!!! The class sizes are small and its is the middle of everything in Salt Lake City. Perfect location!!

Also if you have been wondering about my Weight Watcher Journey and why I haven't posted about it in two weeks, well thats because I have not been good about counting my points each day. And I haven't weighed in because of that. But I have made a promise that I am going to be a lot better this week. So yeah.

Well after church and staying by to the Fellows. I am going to go to my Aunt Di's house where I am going to have some great food and have some great time hanging out with my aunt, my uncle, and my cousins!! We will watch the amazing show the Amazing Race. And talk a lot about everything.

Love,

Cassie

P.S. Dana left me and again this weekend to see her new nephew. But lets just stay I am taking it a lot better then last week. last week I stayed in my room the whole time. But so far I have stayed up with some new friends till 3 in the morning and I have gone to the Temple on a Temple Trip and I went out for Ice Cream with a huge group and had tone of Fun.

Textiles!!

So I am taking a class called Textiles and we learn everything you can about fabrics. The fibers, yarns, threads, the different kind of fabrics. Well one of the assignments was to weave some different weaves. We did this on little weaving cards. It first It was hard but then it got easier as the time went by. Well I got them back on Thursday adn I forgot about them untill I looked thought my backpack this morning. So here they are.

This is a Plain weave, the EASIEST!!

This is the basket weave, easy also

this is the sateen weave, this one took awhile for it to process in my head but I got it.
This is the Satin weave the opposite of the Sateen weave, harder also.
This is the twill weave easy, well after I figured out that it is best to count, (2 over 2 under)

The Herringbone, this one was also difficult, but I just counted out the pattern and I got it.

I got called into work today, :( so no church for me) but what can I do. Its Utah everyone is Mormon, so we have to have a rotation system. And I haven't work for 2 months on a sunday, so my time is up.

well I got to get ready.

oh and yes stacy I will design your house! whats the budget.....$1,000,000! haha. jk.

Love,

Cassie

where do i fit in?

ok everyone so this week fo me has been a little depressing. so 4 count them 4 of my friends has been asked to get married. ugh and 2 of my other friends are just waiting for the ring. and another one of my friends even though she says there not going to get married any time soon I can feel the proposal coming.

now dont get me wrong I do not want to get married!!! But a date would be nice.

but so I have been missing my fam a lot lately, with my birthday and with missing my nieces 1st birthday (which I feel like a horrible aunt)

I have been working a lot lately and my feet are killing me. but i guess I get what I ask for, 3 weeks ago I asked my boss if I could get more hours and she said for sure. But it has takin it toll on my feet. I had to buy foot insoles.

So there will be no report on Weight Watchers this week because I am working tomorrow in the morning, so another week of waiting but I should pull out a bigger number since I didnt go this week. Well thats the goal.

Can I just say I stink at Bananagrams.

Oh and today after this post I am going to go through all my clothes. Cause I have to many clothes that I havn't even wore since I have moved here. So I am going to give them to this store down here called Uptown Cheap Skate. You can turn your clothes in for money.

I feel like me and Dana spend way to many nights at home asking the question "what are we going to do?" " I guess watch Friday Night Lights." Which by the way we are already on season 3. I feel like out side of a couple of school friends we really dont ever hang out with anyone and we dont really know how to even strike up s conversation with people in our ward or guys for a matter a fact. i guess thats why I haven't got any dates so far after being out here. You know I was taught all my life that when you turn 16 you will get your first date. yeah that didn't happen. My first date even though it was fun when I got there, was when I was 17 and I was the guys 3rd choice. (it was a group date and the other 2 girls already had dates, oh and he asked both of the girls right in front of me.) And then everyone told me its ok Cassie that you only went on like 3 dates cause when you get to college you will get a date every week. wrong again. I guess its just me cause at first I was saying it was the guys but what I told you about all my friends getting married it must be me. Which make since cause when I go to church we just try to find an open spot and then I keep to my self. I mean I answer questions in sunday school and RS. And people know me (i think) but they dont KNOW me. SOoooooo I am going to sing at ward prayer this week and then in Sacrament next month.

thanks everyone for letting me vent.

Love, Cassie

What to do with my life??? Mission?

So Im going to admit it. I haven't been the best mormon I could be. Like I was never called a molly mormon. And to tell you the truth I have only read the Book of Mormon once all the way thru. And that was when my amazing young woman leaders decided to have a Book of Mormon read-a-thon. And thank-you all so very much for that!!! I loved it and learned so much from it. But anyways. I have decided that I want and that the Lord wants me to go on a mission when I am 21 years old. And I have been really thinking about this.... How could Heavenly Father want me, Cassie Blake, to go on a mission. So I finally decided if the Lord asks I will do. But I am in no shape to go on a mission. Thank-goodness I have 2 more years to get my act together. So I have found out in my 18 years of my life that I cant just go head-on in a situation. I have to take it slow. And concur one thing at a time. So I sad to admit this, but I am working on prayer right now. Lets just say I really didn't pray before. But I am changing my life. After I have prayed every night and morning, and REALLY prayed, I will move on to reading the Book of Mormon everyday and then also praying. And then so on and so forth. I know it will be hard, but I know it is the right thing. And then when its time to go on my mission, where ever that my be, I will be ready to serve the Lord.

Oh I have also decided to take my 2 year interior design program slow, so that I will get done in 3 years. I am working on my 2 semester. And if my math is right I will be done a couple months after I turn 21. perfect timing!

just my thoughts for the day,

Love

Cassie
