Moms and Babies. SOOO CUTE!

So, I give my final talk next week, then leave the next day for Utah. Ahhhhhh!!!! So much to do, so many people to hang out with, and so much to say a temporary goodbye to. My Mother will have full control of this blog soon. In fact, I am showing her how to use it tonight, so if any random posts appear, that's probably why. ;)

In other exciting news, He was born to my wonderful brother and sister-in-law this past week. He is the handsomest baby boy EVER with thick, dark brown hair, his mom's one dimple and his dad's chin. Here's some pictures!

I look like I went a bit crazy, but they made me look at the
 camera and all I wanted to do was look at the adorable
infant in my arms! Can you blame me?!?!

This is my brother, Jon, holding the baby. Not his baby. It's Brad, who is the one
that wrote the wonderful name bubble on the board. :)

So, there you have it! An adorable new addition to our family! When he is about 18 months and two weeks, I'll come back home. He is the most adorable mission calendar I could have. I'll definitely miss this little guy and all my other family while I'm gone, but I know it will be worth it.

Georgia, you better be prepared!

Whirlwind of Insanity

Alright, well since I last posted, I found out that my mission papers were somehow deleted and there is no way of recovering them. So, I'm starting anew. I'm working with my bishop to gain access to my papers. In the meantime, I getting my wisdom teeth removed and trying to find a job. I will be working up in Utah until at least June with how it's looking right now. Anyway, I gots to go help fill a special missionary birthday package for the amazing Elder Vennard!

Later!

Partay in Utah!

So, my car ended up getting fixed and it came up to Utah before I even did. As of yesterday, I am officially moved to Utah. I'm so far loving it up here, although it is a little cold. It's weird to think that soon, I will be the only one in my immediate family up here.

Anyway, for all of those who have asked, I am not going to school right now. I just graduated with my Associates of Arts from Chandler-Gilbert Community College and am taking some time off of school. I am just working for right now, which means I'm on that infamous job hunt.

I should be writing again soon, so keep checking back!

Craziness is on the Menu

So, I was talking to somebody about this blog the other day (nobody die of shock here please! I just happened to be hanging out with one of the few people who read this ;) and she told me that I really need to start writing more, so here we go.

The biggest reason I haven't really written in a while is because nothing huge has been happening. Basically, I applied to go to several different community colleges that have online programs, and then learned my FAFSA (Federal Student Aid Money) wouldn't cover the classes unless I jumped through a ridiculous amounts of hoops and fibbed a little bit along the way. So, I don't think I'll be going to school in the Spring.

In the meantime, I have finished up school (YAY!!!!!!!!) and got my Associates of Arts (and no, this does not mean I'm artistic. It just means my subject matter-teaching- isn't "important" enough to have its own Associate's Category :P). I also am preparing to move up to Provo, Utah to...work? Have dental upon dental operation done? Party? Let's go with the last one. PARTAY!!!! Still trying to figure out why nothing is really working out. I'm guessing that some big change in my life is coming, whether it is working my butt off for school (not a huge change, but it would feel like actual progress), going on a mission (oh, I like this option!), or getting married (this would be a major change...actually, dating would be a major change).

Anyway, I'll try to write again soon. I should be spouting off about job hunting, or moving, or something like that.

Thanks for reading!

As Porky the Pig would say, "Th-Th-Th-That's all Folks!"

A Decision has been made!

So, I've been trying to decide what I will do when I get up to Utah since I'm not going to Brigham Young University this next semester. I've been praying about it, and now I know that I am supposed to go on a mission, or at the very least prepare the very best I can for it.

Come January, I will be able to turn my mission papers in. That means that I have at least 3 months of planning and preparing to utilize. I also have to save up a ton of money for my mission, although I have been trying my hardest to save up as much as I can. So what will I be working on? Well, here are my general goals:

-Become closer to the Lord
-Increase Health
-Graduate College :)
-Prepare spiritually for a mission

I have developed ways to check how I am doing on each goal. I think this will help me to stay focused as I might not necessarily be in school, but will be working and trying to progress.

Anyway, thought I would update my blog with this new, exciting development in my life.

Later!
