Only 4 More days!!!

I'm giving my farewell talk in my home ward tomorrow and the university (single's) ward. :) I'm excited! Then tomorrow evening I'll be set apart as a missionary.  Then Monday I'm off to Utah with my mom.  Then Wednesday is going to be the BEST day ever! well of my life so far.

Oh and I wanted to let you all know about my 'mission' blog.  It's right here :) Just click on the link, bookmark it, follow it or just read it whenever you like. My mom will be keeping it up. 

Magnets...

So my brother Spencer bought my dad a set of magnets for a gift.  Spencer was thinking that you can't go wrong buying magnets for the guy who loves them.... and he was right! My dad has enjoyed playing with the magnets A LOT! He has been walking around with them last night and tonight.  They're little round magnets and they came in a square (as seen in the pictures...) and none of us could figure out how to make them back into the square last night!! It was super frustrating!
Then this morning with dad and my combined efforts we were able to get them back into the square! (me doing most of the work... since dad's fingers are still not healed completely from his surgery.)  It made me happy.  Anyway this was just a silly post for today. Love you all! And 5 days until the MTC!!!!!!!!!

Amish Friendship Bread

So this past June, a friend of mine gave me a starter for Amish Friendship Bread I made it and loved it!! Since then I have been telling my mom that I wanted to make it again.  I did some Google searching and found a recipe for starting it.  :)  We made it! And we finally were able to bake it today. :)  It turned out to be just as yummy.

in the bowl.

 

The bowl had Amish looking people on the side. :)

We made little loaves too! :)

One of the batches before going in the oven.

Finished Product! :)

Then the afterthought of it all is that I'll be in Pennsylvania in about a month!! So it's perfect that I'm making Amish Friendship Bread right?! :) Also one week until the MTC!!! I'm so excited!!

Only 4 more weeks left to go!

I know it has been a while since I've last posted... Sorry about that!  I know school has been out for weeks but I've been busy getting ready to go on my mission.  :) I have gotten most of my clothes and I've worn a couple of outfits to make sure I feel comfortable in them. I feel like a missionary in them. It's great!! I am so excited to go. I'm still working on trying to finish the Book of Mormon before I leave.  But I have quite a ways to go... :/  But I will finish it!!
And to my brother Ben who was constantly asking me if I had done any research on Pennsylvania yet... Well I have! :) I have found some interesting stories from that mission on the mission site.  And I saw some names of people I might meet while I'm out there on the same site.  But who knows. All in all I'm just very excited to go and be a missionary!! My appointment to be set apart as a missionary is set for 7 pm September 11. :) 

Pictures from Graduation

Here are a few pictures from the day I graduated. :)

School is Over! (well for now anyway...)

I am officially a graduate from Brigham Young University Idaho. Graduation was amazing and a good experience.  I couldn't stop smiling when I walked across the stage and received my diploma (cover). I wish it were my diploma!! haha But I know that I have graduated cause I have passed all of my classes. :) So no need to worry there.
Anyway once I get pictures I'll post them... I just wanted to say I'm a college graduate with my Bachelors in Social Work!!

Tomorrow?

So this morning I woke up thinking wow it's Thursday. Then the thought crossed my mind that graduation is TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I'll be a college graduate as of tomorrow. I just need to take my last final (wish me luck!) and then tie up a couple of loose ends and I'll be ready to go... After school is done I just have to pack up all my stuff.... Umm yeah I'm not very far on that at all. Which is weird because I'm usually packed way in advance. I guess I just don't want to leave! But that's it for today!
