So I'm finally getting back to my blog. And I thought my last hiatus was bad! But one of my New Year's Resolutions is to write in my blog at least three times a week now. I don't expect to write anything big or long or intellectually intoxicating but I do want to use this to remember sweet, funny, and even spiritual moments/thoughts that I would want to remember for the rest of my life. So here's to more frequent posts!
Since my last post, so much has changed in my life. So much, in fact, that I believe the entire course of my life has shifted.
Pres. Monson announced the age change for missionaries. Girls can now serve at the age of 19. That announcement was made during the first session of the October 2012 General Conference, the week of my 19th birthday. I had my interview that Wednesday on my birthday. At first, I wanted to turn in my papers immediately and leave the following January after finishing out fall semester. But after a lot of unexpected events with my family and watching a few close friends try and fail to sell their winter contracts, I decided that even though I didn't want to, it would be okay. I would leave after I finished out the school year and my housing contract. And once my family was finally settled.
On top of that, I lost an organ. I got to know and LOVE my roommates. I got a new job that I actually enjoy a lot even though it's still at 8am. My family moved AGAIN. I finally started my mission papers, and in a little over a month, I will know where I will be serving the Lord. I had my first active missionary experience, and it actually worked and is still in progress. I got my first C. Need some humble pie? I got a whole, freaking bakery. Still, it was a pretty good semester.
And that is fall in a nutshell.
