A New Adventure!

First off, I just want to give a shoot out to Gay Lynne, like I told you, I was SO surprised to read Dayna's blog and find out one of my favorite women had to have SURGERY on a broken ankle!! I hope it heals quickly! I love you!

Well, this week I started the process for a new adventure....I have started my mission papers! I've always thought about going on a mission, ever since I was a little girl, I always had that desire. There have been a few boys in my life that I thought would change that, but since they haven't, and I don't have any in sight that are going to keep me here, I'm on to bigger and better things! ....At least for a year and a half. :) I was telling my friend Kyle the other day, I don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything worth while in my life right now. I'm so absorbed in work and school, that I don't give much thought or time to what's really important in life...my progress toward eternal salvation, and my duty to bring others to the knowledge of the gospel. I know school is very important, and that knowledge that I learn from that will help me help others all throughout my life, and I always know my example is a great blessing to others, but I just think there are greater things in store for me to do.
I have a lot of fears....most that I don't let people see. I know that there are things I need to learn while on a mission that I can't learn anywhere else. And I'm excited for those trials and experiences that will make me learn those things.
So all that I have to do is basically go through all my doctors appointments, submit my papers next month....and wait! I'm pretty sure I'm putting my availability at the end of August so I can help my Office Manager finish up our huge yearly audit that only she and I basically do. I don't want to leave her with someone brand new who can't really help much. Plus, my sister Amberly will be having a new little boy in June and I NEED to hold a few times before I leave. :)

I'm really excited about this whole thing. I've thought about it a lot, and just thinking about it makes me feel like it's right.
