farewell ...

family, don't have any fun without me.

bed, i'll miss the idea of you, but you give me headaches so ...

pillow, i'll see you in four weeks.

avery, don't get too much cuter while i'm away.

toy story 3, i'll see you when you come to dvd.

shannen, give lee carter a kiss goodbye for me.

annie, watch glee in my stead.

polka-dot toms, i wish i was taking you with me.

sarah, see you there?

hires, no burger joint in washington dc {or anywhere for that matter} will ever replace you.

brittney, see you there!

left-over cookies from yesterday's party, i'm probably most sad about leaving you. i loved you.

youarewhatyoulove, see you in 18 months.

cartwheels to car wheels.

paige {my sweet sweet sister and the love of my life} has a new blog {cartwheels to car wheels}. read it because i love it and she's funny.

i'm getting nervous ... actually more than nervous.

oh my!

only 7 days, 1 week! until i leave my little family for the mtc. i don't remember a time in my life where i have been so fearful of the unknown. however, i find comfort in the following scripture:

2 timothy 1:7.for god hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8.be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our lord ... but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of god;
9.who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in christ jesus before the world began.
