yup

do you ever feel like you have everything figured out?
or think to yourself "wow, i got this life thing down!".
yup....ME TOO..........
and then you would know, its right then when you get smacked in the face and reminded that HELLO no, life does not work like that.

well that is how i feel right now.

today is march 29th, and tomorrow my life is going to change pretty drastically. (i mean within the last few weeks it has changed pretty crazily, but tomorrow it'll be a good change!). anyways, i am opening my mission call! it arrived yesterday to my dormitory at utah state. my sweet roommate got it in the mail asap and sent it to seattle (i am home for the week visiting my dad!). it arrived today! and tomorrow i will open it! i tell ya, having it in my hands and not being able to open it kills me! i could have already opened it, but some of my family isnt here and tomorrow they will be, so i decided the wait would be worth it in order to have them there!
i am SO EXCITED. i feel so many emotions actually! all positive though!
im so glad my call came when it did, because i really needed something to make me happy and to have something to look forward to.


here is a list of things that i love/make me happy because i need a bit of optimism in my life.
being home. cold water in my new water bottle. walking around target and finding things i dont need but make me happy. missions. looking at my ctr ring while i type. my family. my new makeup. taking pictures. capturing moments via video. online shopping. my new shoes. my new shirt. sleeping in the bedroom i grew up in. the new band i found. chocolate covered cashews. old pictures of my childhood. waking up and having an email from my brother. knowing i will know where i am serving by this time tomorrow. my fuzzy blanket. the donut note cards i bought today. driving my old car around my hometown. seeing my little brothers. just taking with my dad. strawberry puree. having 90 percent battery left on my computer. my scriptures. finding quotes on pinterest that make me not so sad. seeing my friends snap stories. vsco. trees(i forgot how much i missed seattle). my dog, dan. the way my hair dries here. being able to sleep in. praying. reading my patriarchal blessing. being single? freshly brushed teeth. sports bras. clean feet. not having any zits rn. writing down my thoughts. my phone. my mom. my friends. riding in my little brothers car with him. the yummy dinner i had tonight. the cute cups i bought today. my savior. going to church. my bowling class.
ok the end
