My grandma and grandpa got here tonight and I went to go see them at their hotel. It was SO good to see them! They are so cute and we just talked about everything; this and that, and all the little details of everything going on in their life...they are so funny! And they are just such a huge part of my life and when I think of home, they are like ( Read more... )

So.......last night I had my first Bible Study!!!! I was so excited and nervous but it went very well. I have about 8 girls that will be coming every week but this week was actually not so good for people with tests and other things so for the first one I only had two girls, but that's ok!! It was still good and it might have kind of been good for ( Read more... )

Today has had so many ups and downs, I don't know if it's been healthy! Definitely not helpful...but overall, I can't complain. I shoudln't complain. I was thinking about that today.

Ok, reading everyone's posts today made me all of sudden really sad and really emotional and I just feel like crying. What is going on?!? Joannie, is right, what's happening? I feel like there is some unknown source out there pulling all of us into adulthood and I just don't know if I'm ready for it.

Let's go to Never-Never Land

It makes sense, I agree, but my thing is that I just don't like summer heat period! I like the cold! I grew up buried in ( Read more... )

I just had the most wonderful two hours of shopping at Target and then Penny's. They were having some great sales in both places....the hard part can be finding your size though because all that is left are the really big and the really small. But I did ok, and I probably spent more money than I should have, I AM a missionary for crying out loud, ( Read more... )
