Let Me Explain, No There Is To Much, Let Me Sum Up

Everyday at work haha

Huge! Monumental things have happened since my last post. I went through the temple for the first time about three weeks ago. What an amazing experience! For those of you who don't know what are temples are all about you can read about them here or watch this sweet video.
 

I'm so grateful for my family! They have been so supportive and loving through this whole process.

Let me tell you, and I'm sure some of you know, that the journey to becoming a missionary is not easy. Satan is constantly there to trip you up. And the wait. . .  oooo child. In the grand sceme of things 5 mounths is nothing but right now this journey feels longer then a trip to Mordor and back. BUT I would like to say, exclaim, shout from the roof tops that in 37 days my wait will be over.  I'm going to be a missionary, in England no less! That is insane! Nutso! Thank havens!

For those of you who just got their call and have awhile to go. Make goals! No seriously. It makes the wait a heck of a lot easier. Personally, I (and it seems like the majority of the worlds population) get distracted so easily, but having goals gave me short term things to work towards. For me having little goals to focus on makes the bigger goal much less daunting. So I've made a sort of "bucket list".

Things to do before the mish.:

• Finish rereading The Book of Mormon (read, read, and then read some more)
• Finish visa app.
•  Go to the beach as much as possible!
•  Go to Disney World with the fambam
• Read Preach My Gospel
• Watch the 4th Season of Arrested Development
• Get semi decent looking walking shoes
• Plan farewell talk/par -tay!
• Go to the temple as much as possible

This year has been super crazy, but dang if it hasn't just pulled it self together. I'm just so happy and loving my life! It's not always happy times but I think President Hinckley said it best when he said:
