Packing is too much

I have packed my bag for this summer and it is super heavy. I weighted it by standing on the scale and holding it. The scale says that it only weighs 40 lbs. But, my arm beggs to differ. I will be leaving on Monday afternoon to head north. I catch my flight around 9 on Tuesday morning. I can't believe that it's already time to leave. 52 days is going to seem like no time. A lot of the SM have already gotten to their destinations. I wish you all the best. May He watch over and guide you each day.
Please continue to remember us in your daily thoughts. We are doing an awesome thing. I know that I will be forever changed, and I am running full speed into this experience. My team leader is leaving on Saturday morning. Remember her as she travels. Have a great weekend. God Bless.

WOW :D

The days are rushing by me like a whirlwind. I leave for PacRim in 10 days. That means that tomorrow I will be in single digits. WOW! I can not believe that it has gotten here so fast. It has been such a long process. Lots of prayer for this trip. I have absolutly no clue what this summer is going to be like. I know that He will go with me, and I am so excited. Thomas and I went to eat with one of my team members and her boyfriend. We had a great time, and I am really looking forward to spending this summer with her. Please pray for the ones that have already left for their quests this summer. There are many! I am so proud of all of them. It takes a lot of commitment to give up your summer when you are a college student. I hope that I can update this summer! Don't forget to read my team blog www.thisgeneration2009.blogspot.com- we will be there on June 2, 2009 until July 29, 2009! God Bless!

Fun with Friends

Last night I went to a get together at McGee's. I absolutely love my friends so much. I can't even express what those people mean in my life. This summer is going to be long without them! I hope that they all have wonderful summers doing whatever He has planned. It was a sad time when I had to go home. A lot of those precious people are going to other places this fall. Boy am I going to miss them!!!! Hopefully we can visit! I leave for Pac Rim in 14 days. I can't believe it. I have confirmed airline tickets. That made it sink it a little bit. I just don't think it has hit me yet that I am going to another place for eight weeks without my family or the love of my life. But, the lover of my soul will be with me. I am excited and terrified all at the same time. Have a great day people. Show His love. God Bless

17 days and counting...

So I am sitting at work. Thinking. Thinking. Thinking. I am certain that I do not get paided to write my blog, but since there is nothing left to do I thought I would. My church is having a get together tonight for me and Kyle, who is another SM from our church. I am looking forward to seeing my friends from college. I miss the gang a lot! I can't believe that I am leaving for foreign soil in 17 days. It is getting here too fast. I ask myself everyday if I am ready to go and my answer is always the same. How can I be completly ready for the unknown? It's pretty amazing that I am going to experience something like this. I am supposed to be going on a double date with Krista- my partner for the summer- this week. I am pumped about it too. She is a really cool person. Eight weeks together! It's gonna to be something. We also have another team member named Emily. I haven't met her yet. But I will very SOON!!! O my goodness. I hope that I can pack enough days with Thomas in the next two weeks. He is going on a trip on Saturday for a week. ;( I am going to miss him so much this summer. How do you leave your future husband for eight weeks, not knowing when you will talk to him again? Getting on the plane is going to be terrible. It will probably be one of the hardest things I will ever do. But He will be there holding me up. It's going to be a life changing summer. God Bless.

* we have a blog for this summer-- http://www.thisgeneration2009.blogspot.com/ -- check it out! :D

Sappy Saturday

I have had a great couple of days. Thomas and I went to the zoo on Friday and I had such a wonderful time. It was so great, spending time together. We were like a couple of kids. Sweetness. I loved every minute of it. I believe that the meer cats were my favorite part of the zoo. They were so cute. But, the aquarium was my second for sure. I have tons of pics. Haven't uploaded them yet. I will get to that sometime and put some up on here! The summer is fastly approaching. I am taking a intercession class. It starts on Monday at 8 am. Lasts ten days. It should be barrels of fun....not. I must do what I must do though. I really hope that I get into nursing school this fall. Got to run. Will write longer later. God Bless.

What will I do?!

So it is finals week and it has been crazy. I have one more final and I am so ready to get it out of the way. I have to pack up my things and head out of this dorm tomorrow. I am going to be sad. SO many of my friends are leaving. I know that God has huge plans for them. The BSU is going to be different next semester. But, I am looking forward to meeting new people--favorite thing to do!- I leave for summer missions really soon. 27 days to be exact. I can't believe that it is almost here. It blows my mind that I am spending my summer in another country with two complete strangers. God's plans are so amazing. I am getting sadder as the days go by. I have gotten to know some wonderful people this year. I hope that we stay in touch, because they are so wonderful. My heart is so full of so many thoughts and emotions. I am not a person who likes change. Ever since I came to college, things are constantly changing. As soon as I get things set like I want them, they change. I believe this is God's way of teaching me to become a more flexible person. This year has changed me from the inside out. The BSU has been my place to gather strenght and encouragement. It helps so much to know that there are Christian my age that are fighting the exact same battles as me. Thank you God for my wonderful love. For those of you moving away--may you follow the path God has made. For those of you returning- may next year be even better than the last. God Bless.
