Today was the day!!!

So, here is how my day went down...

-woke up @ 7 am

-thought maybe I should go back to bed because I knew that it was going to be a long day

-didn't go back to sleep

- got ready for the day

-sat on the porch and waited for the mail to come 

-mail comes @ 9 a.m.

-I see the mail with the big white envelope

-I run to the mailbox, open it and there my Mission call sat!!

-I hurried and called everyone to tell them that they were invited to come at 12:30 to open it

-Went to work...worth NOTHING...too anxious

-12:20 I get home and some of my family is there waiting for me!

-12:30 most of the family is there! & the ripping of the envelope begins!

-12:31 I know where I am going, but crying too hard to tell the rest of my family so they have to wait for me to settle down

-12:32  I TELL MY FAMILY THAT I AM GOING TO THE CALIFORNIA LA MISSION, LA TEMPLE VISITOR CENTER SPANISH SPEAKING AND I LEAVE OCT. 14, 2009!!!

Oh my gosh...I can't believe to tell you how absolutely perfect this mission is for me!  I really wanted to learn a language like spanish, and I was really praying to go to a temple mission!  My friend Craig liked to call is a cush cush mission because people are coming to me instead of me finding them, but I don't really care...just as long as I get to teach, I am not going to complain.  I can already promise you that this will be the best 18 months that I will every live.  

So during the period of my mission my mother is going to be updating my blog and putting my mission emails on here...Much love and LA HERE I COME!!!

Only one week?

So I cannot believe that I have been home for only a week! It seems like it has been much much longer. My sisters just got finished with their 4-H project and I have been working and getting ready for my Aunt Terrie to come from Rhode Island..and I am watiing for my mission call. Hopefully, it'll come in the mail this week. I call all the members of my family and had them all guess where I am going. Most of them are guessing Brazil and Europe. It'll be interesting to see where I am going.

So my sisters just got finished with their 4-H projects, which is dairy calves. They all showed well, but did sell as well as they have in the past. Hopefully next year will be better!!! I remember taking my cow into the fair, to be honest it's one of the easiest dollars you can make, but it also really is a great learning and growing experience.

Work has been pretty good. I have really missed some of the people that I work with and I have really missed some of the kids. They are all such sweet kids. I cannot express how blessed I feel to be working with them. I mean sure, sometimes you wanna pull your hair out, but I mean if you honestly think about our life in the pre existence and how close they must have been to God, and that they are sent to this earth without ever having to worry about being tempted by the adversary, I feel so blessed. They are so precious to our Father in Heaven and I get to work with them and get to know them and grow to love them. I really cannot explain this, except to say I am very blessed!
