Just Some Recent Stuff...

Well ya'll know that this month has been big for me... I turned 21, got my mission call, I even got accepted to a graduate school! (I applied a few months ago before I officially decided to go on a mission... so I turned grad school down) And I was thinking I haven't really put any pictures! So I need to put up some pictures from my birthday and yeah. So hope you enjoy pictures! :)

My roommates Bre, Jenessa, and Lauren.

Me with my birthday pie. ;) I like pie better than cake ok?

Some of the people that came to my party. Joe my home teacher and my friend Amanda.

Some more people that came and unfortunately I do not remember their names... That night was the first time I had met them... but they are in my ward! haha.

Opening my presents from my roommmates! :) This card was from my roommate Bre.

I got a picture frame! Jenessa told me I had to put pictures of my roommates in it for while I was on my mission.

SLIPPPERS!!!!!! :)

Fishy!

A cute little note thing.. I need to use it!

MY MISSION CALL!!!!!!!!! I was so excited when it came I took a picture of it.

I was also so excited that I took a picture of me holding it before it was open! Then I shoved it under my mattress and finished my midterm then I came home and carried it around with me for the remaining 5 hours I had until I opened it.

Starting to open my call!

The guesses! :) No one guessed Pennsylvania but some one did guess New York and a part of my mission is in New York... So I guess they were close. 

Then my mission call. :) This has all the important info on it. :) Where I'm going, when I report and the language I'll be speaking... which is English by the way just in case ya didn't know.

Moments That Matter Most

I saw this video on my friend's blog (Jaime I told you I was going to borrow your idea!) and I thought wow that is totally what I needed to hear today.  So I just wanted to share it with all of you.  Then to remind myself as well as you, that the moments that matter most shouldn't be overlooked.

Today has been a GREAT day!

First off I just want to say that today has been a fabulous day! I just started the day off happy and things have just gone well.  I got an A on a test for my Child Development test! Woo! (I've discovered the BEST time for me to take tests! Too bad that's in the morning and the only morning open is Tuesday... and my other classes don't have tests those days... Boo! or else I'd rock those too!) I also did fantastic on a quiz for my child development class.  Then the best thing of all that happened today was I scheduled my appointment for my endowment session!! :) I'm so excited! I'm going to go through the Mt. Timpanogos temple (hence the picture...)!! :)

Only 100 Days Remaining!!!

There are only 100 days remaining until I enter the MTC.  I'm so excited for my mission in the Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Mission!! It is going to be such an amazing and wonderful experience! :) I did a little math and I think I'll be arriving to Pennsylvania right before the October General Conference.  That will be a neat experience!  I won't know for sure how long my stay in the MTC will be until I actually check in. :) I've started getting ready. I filled out my acceptance letter and I bought a new set of scriptures since my old ones are dying... and since I know I'll be speaking English. :) There have been so many emotions running through me the last few days.  It has been just a crazy few days.  I again want to say thank you to everyone for all your love and support. I love you all so much!

The Opening of my Mission Call!!!!

Saturday Afternoon at Mesa Falls

My friend Jackee and I went up to Mesa Falls yesterday and it was way fun.  We went into the gift shop and there were a whole bunch of animal skins. It was actually way interesting! I thought of my dad the whole time I was in there and thought he would have enjoyed it. So I took lots of pictures.

Lower Mesa Falls

Porcupine. It's CRAZY you can see the needles and it also has a caution warning against touching it haha.

The Guessing Game still continues...

But not for much longer!!!! I received an email from my bishop this afternoon informing me that my mission call was mailed from Salt Lake today!!!  I can not express to you my excitement and joy over this.  I really wasn't expecting my call to come this quickly but I know that it was supposed to because of the inspiration I got and how fast I was able to fill out my papers and how everything just worked together to make the process easier. It was incredible! So my call should be coming on Tuesday or Wednesday.  :D :D I am really hoping it comes on Tuesday...  But if it doesn't... I'll survive until Wednesday... I guess. haha :)
Anyway until then keep on guessing!
