Yeah, I stole that from the internet. Hopefully the next time I post, I'll have some amazing pictures of my own to put on here, seeing as I'm leaving for my trip TOMORROW!!!!! I've finished nearly everything on my to-do list, I'm all packed, and all I've got going on tonight is 41/2 hours of work at the grocery store, 5:30-10. And then sleep, wake up, and hit the road to Boston, where the trip begins! YAY!!!! I don't even get to Alaska for another 2 1/2 weeks, but the trip is the whole thing...visiting my grandparents, going to NYC, seeing Toronto and Jasper, and taking the train through the Canadian Rockies...and all of southern Canada. THen the ferry up to Whittier. Yeah, it's awesome. YAY! I'm excited, can you tell? ;)

Alright, well, have fun y'all...you know I will be! I'll post again with lots of pictures when I get back, so until June...farewell!

    Must have been a fun trip. I saw some pictures on facebook.

    We'll still be around in 2011 when you come back. A mission will be so exciting. I'm a much better blogger than facebooker, so I'll make sure to add your blog to my google reader.

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

The end of an era

So in about an hour and a half, I'll take my last final at BYU until after my mission! Exciting! Bittersweet. This week has had a lot of ups and downs already. It's never easy saying goodbye, but it's harder knowing I won't just come back in September and see everyone again. Today was my last day on the job at Heritage Halls. Thursday will be my last day on the job at BYUB. Tiff and James both leave tomorrow, and Hilary and Courtney both left today. Alex left yesterday, so...after tomorrow I need to find people to play with that I don't normally play with. Oh well. On Sunday, I went over to Courtney's and Hilary's place, and we had a last hurrah before Steph left for home on Monday. She goes to Jerusalem next week! Saturday evening, I went to Salt Lake and met up with Emma Koller there, one of my good friends that I met at EFY when I was 14, and haven't seen her since...4 or 5 years ago! So it was awesome to see her and meet her boyfriend! ...
