...

no pretty package today.

actually I wouldn't care if my mission call came wrapped in a muddy box.

I just want it here!

Tomorrow is probably the best day for it to come anyway. My family is more likely to get together at a decent time tomorrow than they would have today.

Now we wait some more....any last minute guesses?

waiting

I am waiting on my mission call. I'll know when I leave and where I'm going THIS WEEK! Well, unless it is delayed for some reason.

I am so excited. I never thought I would serve a mission. I always thought I'd go to college and find a spouse. Seriously. I really thought that was how life worked. I eventually realized it isn't exactly like that. I have always thought that missionaries are amazing and great, but I could never picture myself as one until the past year or so. BUT--I did find an old journal from my achievement days class (It is just paper stapled together) from 1999 haha
"I would like to do when I'm older..." I checked the following: be a primary teacher, go on a mission, be a Mom, teach Sunday School, organize a club, be a school teacher, drive a car, teach Achievement Days and write funny stories for children.

Isn't that just too cute? This journal really is funny and I'm so glad I found it. I am so grateful that my teacher chose to make a journal an activity. It means a lot to me now. I'm thinking my teacher was Linda Dodd, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm so happy right now. I've been so happy for a while. It has been a long time since I have felt sincerely depressed. That is a feeling I am very grateful for. Now, there are some days when I want to stay in bed and watch Criminal Minds on dvd for hours, but I think that is my lazy gene.

and now I will wait some more.... :)
