Countdown

There isn't much time left before I report to the MTC. Less than two weeks, actually... Panicking, for sure. But so exciting too! Anyway, just like I used to do with homework, I'm blogging now to avoid writing my farewell talk I'm giving in church this weekend. My bishop asked me to talk about the restoration of the church. Not necessarily about the who, what, when, where, and why, but the blessings that it brings me in my life on more than just a fact-based level. It's really made me think about how fortunate I am to have the LDS church, to have been raised in it, and to have had the confirmation that it is true. I do really like having that knowledge, however, that makes writing this talk a little bit tricky, just because I'm not really positive where to take it. I'll get it figured out, I guess. Just for the sake of recapping my life in the last few weeks, here's a quick list of what I've been up to: we went to Seattle, I've been working a lot...

Old School

That Facebook keeps showing me what I posted last year and the year before that is both funny and a little creepy. I'm not sure I want them digging through my past, even though I consciously used their website to share it with the world. But I digress. Apparently at this time last year I was bitter and resented UA. Two years ago I was trying to do some good in the world. I'm not sure where I am today. Mostly sleepy, I guess, with a good helping of happiness.

I got a new camera (see it here ). I had been thinking about getting one for a few days. I'm going to Seattle this week, and then Kentucky for a few years, so why not? Plus, cameras are so inexpensive (comparatively) these days, it just seemed like it was worth it. So far, it has been.
