Argentina

IT CAME!!!

I have been called to serve in the Argentina Posadas mission. :)


I will be speaking Spanish. The best kind of Spanish.

& I enter the Provo MTC on August 28th.................. in FOREVER.

But that's okay because I'm going to ARGENTINA!! :) And I am so beyond excited and happy, it's ridiculous. I am seriously thrilled. I couldn't have asked for a better mission for myself. I am so blessed. ♥


At first, I didn't want to make my call opening a huge deal. Originally, I was just going to open it with my parents and my brothers. BUT the more I thought about it and talked to people, the more I realized that I just couldn't do it without my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, my friends and even some of my neighbors. There are so many people who have played such a huge role in bringing me to this point in my life, it felt wrong to not include them.

So, we invited the world. :)

We even Skyped my aunts and uncles who are scattered across the Nation.

And it was such a blessing to be able to share this wonderful moment with just about everyone I love.

 I told the Lord that I would go where He wanted me to go. (Except for Russia. |: ) I even would have been willing to drive 5 hours to Boise, Idaho if He wanted me to. However, He wants me in Posadas Argentina. I never would have guessed it, but now that I know, there is no where else that I would rather go. This has definitely strengthened my testimony of how well my Father in Heaven knows me. ...

AND of how much He loves me.

Argentina could not be any more perfect for me.

And the waiting begins.....

Christmas in April

I am five years old.

I am exhausted, yet I can't sleep.

Because it's Christmas Eve!!

Okay, not really. It's April 9th but it FEELS like Christmas Eve.

Almost not as blissful, though, because on Christmas Eve, I absolutely know that I am going to wake up the following morning to a magical room full of gifts. Unless I somehow happen to be  put on the naughty list. Growing up, I never expected to be on Santa's naughty list. I always knew he would come with a couple of new outfits for me.

I know I'm not on Heavenly Father's naughty list and I know that He wants me to receive my gift, but there is still a chance that it won't come by morning. Because Heavenly Father can't bring me my gift physically. The mailman has to do it.

But the mailman is not as wonderful as Santa Clause.

The time has come, my friends. [Hopefully] Tomorrow morning, my momma should be getting a phone call from the Post Office informing her that my MISSION CALL has arrived!

After 6 long months of debating whether or not I should submit my papers and 3 even longer WEEKS of waiting for the call to come, it is finally here! [Hopefully]

The church is true. Christ lives and He loves us. We have a Father in Heaven who knows us and loves us and is aware of our every want and need. I am so thankful for the knowledge that I have of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so excited to be able to share that knowledge with the world by serving a mission. I want those people that I am to teach to have the opportunity to experience all of the joys that the gospel brings into my life, daily. There is nothing more meaningful than for all of God's children to be able to know of the blessings that come through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that the Lord wants this for His children more than anything. He wants His children to come to know Him. I want His children to come to know Him and I love that I can be a hand in moving His beautiful work forward.


I can't wait to see what my Heavenly Father has in store for the next 18 months of my life. ♥


Any guesses?

Summer is here, finally. ☼

YAY!! I'm all done with school!


NO MORE FINALS!

Last day in Physics with my best friends,

So bittersweet.

It's officially summertime...


                 Too bad it's a bit chilly today.


Where did the sun go?? :(

So, funny story.


I was studying for STATS last night. I got out a notebook and flipped through the pages in the back to find a blank one to write on and I found this:

hahahahahahahahahahaha. Read the CONS list for Maple Valley. 

                                                 -far away from campus

                                                 -BRADON

                                                 - .  .  .  .  .  .  .  

Once Upon a time, I liked this boy named Bradon. 

     One day (actually lots of days), Bradon made me angry because he wouldn't be my friend, so I deleted him on facebook. My logic: He won't be my friend in real life, so why should we be 'friends' on a website? We shouldn't... DELETE.

I feel like I made a healthy, justified decision in deleting him from my list of facebook friends. I tend to stalk people and it has helped me to not even have the option of stalking him.

So, since we're not even friends on facebook, I decided that posting this picture ^^^ wouldn't be a big deal at all because he would never even see it and even if he did, it wouldn't really matter because we already are NOT friends. 

I didn't even think about the fact that I am friends with all of Bradon's friends/roommates/FRIENDS on facebook and that they would most likely find the picture and show him... They did.

I know this because:

a) Colton Crump liked my picture

b) Westyn Griffiths liked my picture

c) Westyn Griffiths commented on my picture

d) He said: "Did the foot doctor help you make this list??"

            That is super funny because I go to a foot zoner sometimes. She works miracles. Her name is Markelle. Talk to me if you want her to zone you. Seriously, she is wonderful. BUT the boys like to make fun of me because I can't eat certain foods anymore because Markelle told me not to. So, when I used to hang out with those boys, Westyn used to always tell me that I couldn't do something or eat something because the foot doctor said so. It was funny.You probably had to be there.

& because I talked to Britney about it!

She told me that she was hanging out with Justin last night and he was dropping her off around one (a little while after I posted that picture-ish) and Bradon called him. Bradon told him to come see "something funny on the internet."

It may have been something else that was funny, but we are pretty sure they were laughing about my Pro's and Con's list and the fact that Bradon is on it.

He's only on it because I wrote it a month or so ago.. The wound was still deep back then. I'm pretty much over it by now. PRETTY MUCH.

And that is the end to my funny story of the day. 

ohohoh. JUST KIDDING! It's not the end. 

I'm pretty sure Bradon has been cleaning the Business building with one of my dear friends or probably they just cleaned it once. I don't know. --Those boys should really be more selective about the things they say around Brit. Not that she gossips or anything, BUT we're best friends & SHE TELLS ME THINGS.--

I must say that I have absolutely no right to be jealous or mad either.. I did date Dallin before I dated Bradon. That's almost worse.

The topic only came up because we were talking about my facebook post and I wondered aloud if Bradon was dating anyone yet.. So Brit told me that he hung out with a girl named (I'll protect this name for now because I love her so much!) & I just about died cause I'm good friends with her. Funny stuff. :)

Anyway... They (Bradon and my friend.- She is so adorable) actually would be a cute couple.  Minus the fact that I'm pretty sure she's taller than him. That bugs me kinda when I'm dating people but hey, some people are okay with it. If it works, it's works. Right?

I hope they get married. I honestly, seriously hope they get married. It would make my life so complete. :)

Also on the agenda for the day:

CELEBRATION!! 

No more finals. 

[for me at least. Brit has two more tomorrow.]

Zeppes is our thing. We get the Gelata in a kid's size.

We also went to Noodles and Company for a change. :) SO YUMMY.

And now I am blogging.

B and I are starting to pack up our room. It's super bittersweet. I am pretty sad about it. I am going to miss her SO much. Also, I think I might miss my crazy roommates a little bit. Especially Ashley. (WEIRD, right? She was the one that I had the most problems with) 

We have been getting along great over these past couple of weeks. 

It's too hard to hate.

I really believe that sincere kindness, selflessness and service can and WILL cause miracles.
