what i'm looking forward to the most.

did i sound terribly depressing and pessimistic when i blogged about my future missings? i fear i did, so i’m evening the playing field by listing my can’t waits:

•actually seeing washington dc
•learning the gospel inside and out.
•wearing all the sister missionary clothes i bought.
•using my luggage {i'm seriously in love with my london fog three piece set. i visit it every morning in the basement and pretend i'm mary poppins.}
•living on the east coast, and in the big city.
•meeting so many wonderful people from all different parts of the world.
•sharing the gospel.
•seeing the fireworks on the fourth of july in our nation’s capital.
•seeing the lights on temple square {word on the street are these babies are BEAUTIFUL}.
•converting barack obama, yeah that’s right.

{see you soon little dear.}

the loves i'll miss the very most.

i’ll be leaving for mission madness one month from today.

ka - ray - zee.

i’m quite excited for my new adventure, but i'll sorely miss a few of my greatest loves. i figure my little blog will be a good outlet for my missings...

•paige.
•castle … this is a great show, watch it in my stead.
•shannen crane {also the unofficial shannenjosh wedding}.
•lee carter.
•regina, mr gibbard, explosions in the sky, etc, etc, etc.
•movies {this missing includes toy story 3, the lovely bones, alice in wonderland, 2012, new moon, etc}.
•hires {the krusty krab of land}.

i’m proud to say that, although i’ll miss these beautiful parts of my life, i’m happy to sacrifice them for my church. my good friend breanne {who is serving in the taiwan taipei mission as we speak} said this about her sacrifice:

“this mission, as a tithing on the first 21 years of my life, will be HIS.”

i’m more than happy to give these 18 months of my life to him. he is, after all, the one who gave me the loves i'll miss most.

have i told you?

how much i love this quote right here?

{perhaps via le love, just kidding it's from here}

mmmhmm ...

i had a birthday shout hooray.

i'm lounging about in st george, celebrating turning one year older and wiser too.

oh. and my cake was delish.

dear birthday.

i hope you bring me this, and something from this girl. i really wouldn't mind this. but mostly i just want this.

burlington coat factory.

paige and i think the following is pretty much the best thing ever.
















but wait, it's reversible.

mr and mrs meyer.

i just found this picture from my dear dear lyndsey's wedding and i think it is amazing.


that's all.

"i love to see the temple . . ."

"... i went there last week."

on the road again.

i'm off to roosevelt for some cow tipping {cue twangy hick music} and mischievousness with the sweeties above.

have a lovely weekend.
