The beginning

Well helllllooooo!!! The only time I've ever really "blogged" is when Xanga used to be really big, and that was when I was in middle school and a little of high school, so it will be interesting to get into this again. My inspiration came from my dear dear friend, Jennifer Diane Jolley. I really love her and think she just might be my personal idol. haha. (Are you laughing Jenni??) This should be sooo fun.

Where do I start? How about my current life? My 21st birthday is in exactly 3 weeks from today. Being mormon, a girl and about to turn 21, I have made a decision to serve a mission for my church. Okay, not really for my church, for me, for the people I will serve and for my Heavenly Father. I know it's the right thing for me to do. My mission papers have been in for...23 days. TWENTY THREE DAYS! You must be thinking, "Shouldn't she have her call by now?" My thoughts exactly. I SHOULD have it. I could have receieved it on wednesday, but didn't. Thursday came, I was super convinced it would come, but...it didn't. Then today...friday, October 5th. TODAY was the day....I was on the phone with my mom when I saw the mail truck. My heart lept....so...I decided to be nice and greet the mail man at his truck. He then proceeded to hand me....3 bills, 2 junk mails, some magazine....and no mission call...I was still on the phone with my mom and sooo disappointed. I just want to know where I'm going to spend the next 18 months of my life!? Is that toooo much to ask? Haha. Okay, I'm not really mad, but the anxiety is getting to me. I know for a fact that it was sent on September 28th from Salt Lake City, Utah. SEVEN whole days to get somewhere in the United States....that's quite outrageous, no?? I was thinking that maybe General Conference had something to do with it....but hello, doesn't the First Presidency and the Apostles know the world revolves around me?? Just kidding...Jenni thinks that President Hinckley should announce my call to the world this weekend. Hehe...I am in agreeance. :o) Anyway, I have adjusted my attitude to this....I BETTER BE GOING SOMEWHERE SOOOO RADICAL! haha just kidding. I truly believe that there's a reason I haven't received my call yet. My dad doesn't get home til around 11 tonight and although I would have waited to open it til he was home, now I won't have to wait...assuming it will come tomorrow. I know the Lord knows what is going on and He knows me the best, so everything will be fine.

So, there's the mission call update, I hope you enjoyed! It was kind of rough writing this...for my invisible audience. No one knows I have a blog yet, but I hope to change that soon.

Have a blessed day,
