Start of Something Good

.:Well... I'm back.. what now?:.

Well folks, I've been home from my mission for 2 1/2 Weeks now and I am still trying to get back into the swing of being a normal person again.. Currently my life consists of sleeping in, eating too much, watching way too much t.v., spending way too much time online, and thinking about my missionary.

Yep that's right! I have a missionary! His name is Scott Johnson and he is THE sweetest man on earth! I love that boy! It's just proof that you never know when or where you are gonna meet someone! He gets home in May and it could not come sooner!



I met him over a year ago at a Zone Conference, but we never really talked much.. maybe a couple of times.. I didn't see him for a long time and then he got transferred into my last area. We became best friends and the relationship has just continued to blossom from there. I am so glad that Heavenly Father sent me such a wonderful friend and that he put Scott in my life!

Things I love about Scott:

* He is so happy.
* He makes me laugh
* He has a great smile
* I love his eyes.
* Sings and plays the guitar
* I can tell him anything without feeling judged
* He has my back no matter what
* He has such a strong testimony of the Atonement and of the Gospel
* He has the kindest heart and would never do anything to hurt me
* He can get along with pretty much anyone
* We are practically the same person.. it's kinda scary how alike we are.. but different.. but alike. haha

Anywho.. now the cat's out of the bag! I am so excited to continue to build out relationship and to be able to spend time with him again!

other than that.. it's back at the job hunt... UGH!


Anybody know anyone in the Salt Lake City or surrounding areas that's hiring let me know!

.: Indexing and such:.

So as my wonderful friend pointed out, I haven't posted in a while... Well I think that is mostly due to the fact that I am busy with all of my mission preparations.

I went through the temple on July 16! It was a beautiful day. I was pretty overwhelmed with it all, but I have been back a couple of times since and I am feeling much better! I love the peace that comes with being in the House of the Lord. It's amazing!

I also went camping with my awesome ward. I am really gonna miss them when I leave. I really feel like they are all my family. I am worried that I will have struggles with home sickness. But I know that as I immerse myself in the work that I will get lost in it and forget about myself and just serve.

Tonight I went to an indexing party with some of the coolest people in my ward. ha!
If you haven't indexed before I suggest you try. It's can be difficult to read the handwriting sometimes, but it is pretty fun. I am thoroughly convinced that cursive handwriting is of the devil! ** Note to self: never write anything in cursive if I want my posterity to be able to read what I am writing!(on the other hand maybe I don't want them to be able to read all of my secrets... they might not like what they find. jk)

Well I am off to bed. I am heading to my 5 year reunion next weekend... AHH!! Am I really That old? haha! I am excited to see some old friends. I am also hoping to get to the Logan temple while I am there..

.Looking Back:.

Remember this post?


I can't believe that just one short year ago I was sitting in a hospital bed.



Oh how my life has changed since!!



I am so grateful everyday for that experience.
I wouldn't change it for the world.
I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father who will kick me in the butt when needed and tell me to get back to what's really important.
I am so grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ that has healed me more times that I can count.
(physically, emotionally, spiritually!)
I am so grateful to be alive!
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary.
To share what I know with others.
I am so grateful for my family and friends who are always so supportive of me!




Today especially I am thankful for AMERICA!


GOD BLESS!

.:53 days!:.
