I'm done!

So I'm finally done with my mission papers! I haven't turned them in yet cause I don't have a mission picture but I'm done with all the doctors appointments and filling out all the tedious questions and the such. It feel so good and yet it's a little scary to think that there is a possibility that I could be gone before Christmas. I know that it's INCREDIBLY unlikely but it's possible. At times I can't wait for the day to finally come, I'm so excited and ready to go share what I know to be true with everyone I meet. Then I'll start thinking about everything I'll have to leave behind for two years. Home, family, friends, music, time to myself, free time to just laze around, movies, internet, my home ward, dating (not that I really date a whole lot...but still), the birth of my first nephew, spending hours reading a book (other than the BoM), my mom's amazing home cooked meals, my bed, my room. But then I think about what I'm going to be doing. I'm going to get to spend the next two years serving the Lord with everything I have. I'm going to be close to him and more in tune with the spirit than any other time in my life. That alone makes it all seem worth it. Though I still can't help being terrified. Part of it is I don't know where I'm going yet and there's a certain stress that comes with that. I don't know. I'm just starting to get a little restless. I guess it's just hard to grasp that my mission is really almost here.
So the reason I havn't been updating my blog a whole lot is that nothing really happens in my life. I've just been getting all my doctors appointments finished up. I got my hair cut today so I can now to get my picture taken so I can submit my papers. I had an interview with my Bishop last night and so now I just need the one with my Stake President. I got a whole bunch of new music from Kate wich was so awesome and I got the new Taylor Swift cd which is amazing by the way. Today I also droped by Jocelyn's house and gave her a CD and she in turn gave me one and as I'm sitting here listening to it I'm loving it! I'm about to head off to see Thourghly Modern Milly down at East. I saw it on Saturda night and loved it so I'm making my parents come with me again tonight for FHE. Well I'm off to grab a bite to eat before the play!
