No, I'm not engaged. I'm not even dating anyone. No one panic. Actually, the big decision has been a shocking one to everyone that i've deciced to tell so far. My sister laughed at me even... *dramatic pause* (maybe even a drumroll from all those that will be excited for me...)
I've decided to serve a mission.
Ok, now everyone breathe! I know this is shocking. Believe me, no one will be more shocked than i was. I fought this inspiration for months. MONTHS!! I couldn't bring myself to even discuss it with anyone. Not even my mom... Or Shaye... and i discuss everything with them. But its done. I've decided. I'm going.
Right now i'm just working on getting prepared. I've talked to my bishop and he's given me the list of things i need to read and do and think about. I'm looking for a second job and i'm switching my class schedule for fall around so i can actually have time to work to jobs and go to school half time. So if anyone out there knows of any place thats hiring, or has any odd jobs that they need done, ie cleaning cooking babysitting etc whatever. PLEASE!!!! let me know. I've figured i need about $11,000
I'm super excited about this. I've really been thinking about it and at first i was feeling a little crazy for even considering it. But now i'm just excited. And terrified. Its going to be a great oppurtunity and an amazing learning experience. And i could use with a change in scenery.
So! Wish me luck! I'm going to need all your prayers!

Happy 20th To MEE!!!
Yes, as of now, well today... I am no longer a teenager. Which means I no longer have any excuse to be stupid. According to my boss. Which doesn't mean that i'm not still gonna be stupid from time to time.
You know, twenty really isn't that big of a deal. But the fact that i was turning 20 was freaking me out. But now here it is. Meh. I'll prolly keep having "oh my gosh I'm 20" moments for a few days and then get over it! Bon anniversare! C'est moi!

Its Been Awhile...
i apologize. i've been slightly busy since returning home and haven't really been inspired to update. unless it was a bunch of whining and complaining. but hey, i'm doing it now.
i got home... about three weeks ago. i had one day off and then i started working again. i subbed my cousin's preschool classes the friday and monday after i got home and then started back at good ol' durf's that tuesday. let me just say, i love kids, but i am NOT and i repeat NOT cut out to be a preschool teacher. which i'm totally fine with. ten 4 year olds in the same room for 2 hours... its dangerous. and exhausting. i'll stick to my psychology thanks.
since i've been home i've noticed a serious uplift in my moods. for the most part. i have my moments, but thats a whole nother story. but its been great. my sister and i have been doing some really bonding time over the last week. kind of. i call it bonding time. lol. my brothers... well, they're young. what can i say? they still call me the cranky monster every once in awhile.
i've read three books since i've been home. which is fabulous! i've read: emeralds and espionage (i've read that once before), brisingr (the lastest eragon book) and nick and norah's infinite playlist (which i totally reccomend... to some people) and i've seen a bunch of movies: the women (awesome), house bunny (meh), freedom writers (AMAZING), hancock (i've seen it before but its still awesome)... prince caspian (the end is good, that's all i've actually seen)
and i've got to see all my family. holidays make that possible.
i've also done some soul searching and my chocolate intake has increased over the last few days... its been a good break. but its time for school to start up again. i have too much time to myself during the day, and thus, to much time to think about stuff. so bring on UVU!!
