going away party

So i just got home from the family going away party and it was so awesome. A lot of people were there that I had not seen for a while. I was very suprised the see the turn-out of Bobb's because to be honest I did not think ANY of them wouls showup beacuse of how opposed they are to this whole missions thing. But it was fun, Tristan made me a slideshow and it was amazing. It was filled with pictures from the past and present played to My Wish by rascal flats. It was such a thoughtful gift. It seems that we are always competing to see who can get the other person the best gift-and im pretty easy cause im a sucker for gifts that are simple but from the heart =] So hers was the best I think and I know im going to have a hard time topping it. Tomorrow should be the saddest day and I know I will be sure to have my purse stuffed with tissues.
I was asked today if I was excited and I could honestly answer yes. I say this because every other person at school would ask me if i was excited, nervous, or scared and I always answered excited but really I didn't know how I felt-until today. I sat down and was doing my devotions and I was just thinking-no distractions or anything and I came to the conclusion that I am completely and totally PUMPED! =] I mean yeah I am sad but I cant stop from smiling because I feel so full. And by full I mean that I am overflowing with joy and reassurance that everything is going to be fine and I just can not really put into words how amazing it feels to know that you are doing exactly what Gpd wants. It is like he's looking at me and smiling and it is one of the most awesome feelings =] yeah so that's been my day! And I know it is only going to get better from here...

here we go

so i thought i should probably start one of these things to keep people updated. I have a Myspace account and facebook but other than who you comment there really is no way of telling what is going on in your life! So here it-were moving in 5 days. I guess right now I am not upset. I got a little teary today when I was going through some old letters and things from my past years in high school, but the thought of miving has not really hit me yet. I guess it probably will when were about 1,000 miles from home-oh joy! So I guess you could say I am ready and I am keeping this verse
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
I love it, it has been such a good verse ( along with I Corinthians 10:13) to look at in hard times.
thats all for now =]
