Mission say whaaaa?

Ahhh it's been months. So much has happened.

I'M GOING ON A MISSION!!!

Toronto Canada on May 8th, 2013. English Speaking :)

I am so excited.

Story time.

I was sitting at my cabin in Island Park Idaho on October 6th, 2012 when the announcement was made.  Was a always thinking about a mission?? Yeah. Did I think it was going to happen this fast? NO. It took me awhile to be 100% sure that this was what I needed to do, and not just something that sounded exciting. It's exciting of course, but a very important decision.

The night after I decided to go a dreamed about Toronto Canada. CRAZY RIGHT? I told a select few about this dream, thinking that it wasn't a big deal.

The night after my papers went in, I dreamed about Seoul Korea (my dad's mission).

So basically I was thinking either Canada or Korea. Well Canada it was, and turns out, there are SO MANY KOREANS IN CANADA! The Church is so true.

Anyways, January 9th was one of the best days of my life so far....Seriously, I wish I could relive it over and over and over again......

There is no place I would rather spend the next 18 months of my life.

Here are some pictures of that beautiful day :)

 In complete shock... Did I just read Canada??

Stay tuned for posts about my new twin nephews and going through the Salt Lake Temple!

GRADUATION

To be completely honest, I am new at this blogging thing. So bare with me! I wanted to start a blog for my family and friends for when I am in college, but I wanted to get a head start. 

One week from tomorrow I graduate from high school. WHAT?! I am not that old. I still remember going to Elementary School and thinking I would never get to this point. Time goes by so quickly, and I have come to cherish every moment.  My three years in high school have been amazing to say the least.  They have been very eventful with lots of "firsts".  First dates, kisses, dances, boyfriends, etc.  

I haven't loved every second of it though. But every heartbreak, disappointment and inconvenience brought me to where I need to be, which is who I am today. I've learned to trust no one until their trust is proven. I have learned to keep your loved ones close, always.  I have learned that family always comes first, because they will back you up no matter what. 

Going to Woods Cross High School with the people I grew up with has been a blessing. But now it is time to move on. I will have one summer left in Utah before I head up to BYU-IDAHO in Rexburg, Idaho.  I could not be more anxious for this next step in life, but I am so nervous.  I don't know how to cook or iron! However, I am pro at laundry, haha.  I want to thank everyone who has helped me get to this huge step, graduation.  It is so surreal, but I'm ready. 

ONE WEEK AND COUNTING! 

Here are just a few pictures of High School -
