59 days.

It's been a while.

News.
I got my mission call.
I have been called to serve in the Puerto Rico San Juan Mission, speaking Spanish. I report to the Dominican Republic Missionary Training Center in 59 days.

My goal for this blog is to post everyday until then. I will blog two posts but you will only be reading one right away the second you will be reading during my mission (thanks to the sweet little schedule gadget).

I will leave you tonight with this...
I am grateful for:
Parents who have loved and supported me in my decisions.
Friends who have brought smiles to my face constantly.
A gospel that has given me standards to live by.
A sister who, no matter how much I didn't want her to go, chose to serve a mission and be an example to me.
A little brother who has made sure that I don't become too much of a tight wad.
My talent to dance when I need therapy.
All my siblings for the love they bring to our family.
A beautiful world that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with.
Our Savior and brother, Jesus Christ, who took upon himself the sins, sadness, sickness, and burdens of the world. He understands the good and the bad and because of His love for us we can return to live with Heavenly Father again someday.

The problem with roommates.

If you fart you are at risk of her walking in right after... Embarrassing.



On a more serious note, the reality of adding more time to when I can see Natalie again just hit.
Missing her isn't hard to medicaid but there are those few days when I start thinking about time and it all seems like it's going to last an eternity.

Wuthering Heights

I've read the novel Wuthering Heights written by Emily Bronte'. Personally I found it just a bit morbid. I would prefer Jane Eyre written by Emily's sister, Charlotte, but they were both phenomenal writers. 

Anyway, Natalie once showed me this video and I had completely forgotten about it until today.

It doesn't matter whether or not you've read the book, I think this video is a classic. 

Happy Memories

I was just posting Natalie's most recent email to her blog when I decided to start perusing. 

I found a wonderful gem that I had forgotten about. 

This is Richard, Natalie and I. We act like dorks sometimes but what do you expect... 

We're siblings.

Enjoy.
