A little tired


Hello everyone! I can't believe that I am home! This week has been soo crazy! Bethany took me on a wild shopping spree.. I had to give my talk, which went pretty well actually.. I wasn't nervous at all.. weird. President and Sister Gililland came to it! that was such a pleasant surprise! :)

Avery and Rylan wont let me out of their sight.. I went swimming the other day! that was great! i got a little tan! yay! not pasty any more!

My BFF Jess And Angelica came and suprised me on saturday morning! I started to scream/cry i was soo happy! word. We played all weekend.. That was fun.

Now I'm trying to clean my room. It is a basic disaster. Don't worry about it.

I LOVE In N Out! It is Hands down the best..

You say goodbye..

AND I SAY HELLO!!! Haha.. I did a typo and said "and i say hellp!" haha.. kinda of true actually..
I am soo excited to go home. But scared out of mind all at the same time. Monday i was down with Food poisoning that lasted till.. well my stomach STILL hurts! I feel ravished and can't eat much.. It is getting to be absolutely obnoxious. Blah. Then when I "think" that I am hungry and try to eat something, really I just want to vomit. Ugh.. gross. It has definitely brought a grey cloud to my last week.. I can't believe that we are getting doubled out though.. that I find annoying. My last three areas have been "closed out" to elders.. but it's more that I feel like I was worthless in those areas.. How unnerving.

Any way I look forward to my return to see my family and Run to their arms! That will be a most exquisite reunion!

When a door closes, another one opens..

Peace out Ohio.. I've loved my stay! Thank you thank you thank you for being fantastically different! :)

My Idea of a Perfect Return

*I come off the plane.. Mom and the kids and Bethany are holding up signs flowers and balloons welcoming me home! Then we go to the stake pres and release me.. Then we go home, I change into jeans and my converse shoes, and we go to the mall. I get a new phone that mom and dad are going to help me with until I get a job and I can save for my car and school and room/board. then we pop some popcorn and watch twilight.. and wrap up the day by going to In N Out with Dad for a Double Double Plain protein style well done, and swim with the kids..*

Yes.. That would be fabulous.. I would enjoy it..

So.. I'm sure you have all read my blog and have seemed very concerned for me.. Don't worry.. It's all a days process.. Really.. I'm sure that my returning home will be just fine. DON'T FRET! :)

My thoughts these last days..

What have I accomplished? I have been thinking about that.. I don't know if I've done a whole lot.. However I know that I've done my best. I know that that sounds ludicrous but really I know where the Lord and I stand.

I received an email from my dad.. I just want you all to see how COOL a dad that I have!

Good Day Dear Daughter, I hope you are well. Mom said I better write a letter to you as this is my last opportunity. I was trying to come up with a lesson for Sundays Priesthood meeting on Self Reliance and am struggling to figure out what should discuss with the men. So I'll take a break from that and focus on you.I'm glad you had a good weekend last week being able to visit many of your friends in the old area. Hopefully you will have influenced many people that you don't even realize. I hope you will have learned some things that will help you to be a better person and a better servant and leader when the times come. I'm finding that time is flying by and there's so much to do. Work is a bit challenging lately with its ups and downs. There is an election of union officers June 27 and were having to do some mailings and tasks to support the current officers. Hope I get thru it. I had a good night bowling Tuesday. I've started to flick my wrist a bit and it seems to be improving my scores. My first game was 245 and third game was a 211 but my second game was really off at 142 because I couldn't seem to put it in the pocket. However, Bethany made the comment to move over a bit and I found that moving to the left about 1/2 of a board seemed to put me back in the game as the third game shows. It is much more fun when the scores a a bit higher.So let us know what the plans are for your remaining week and work hard to the finish. Don't worry about the future. Just take it a day at a time as you readjust to everyday life. I'm hoping to be at the airport when you arrive because of the work schedule but that will be determined next week. When I returned from my mission, my mom and dad seemed to be much older so don't be surprised if we look more like grandparents. It happens to us all. Be good and do whats right and let the consequences follow and I look forward to seeing you a week from Friday to give you a big hug. I love you and hope all is well. Dad

Ahh.. he totally rocks.

My moms Email was just as wonderful!


So Bunny Our last email and I have to say I am glad,I read your blog and I have to say that I am very concerned about you, I think that you need to just come home and take things easy for awhile, I dont know why you are worrying about getting married, it will happen, you have pkenty of time and so what if all your friends are getting married, its not your time yet, then theres the point about people talking about you, well that will never stop, you have to realize who your true friends are and not worry about the others, I do think that you should not have been blogging or facebooking, because that is against mission rules, but it s to late to worry about that now, I just think that you need to worry about getting thru this next week and coming home. We will have plenty of time to work things out. Life is always full of strife and grief but you have a terstimony and you need to concentrate on that, you need a good relationship with Heavenly Father and the Savior, trust in them and what your P blessing says and it says that you will marry and that Dad and I will be there, so there you are, so this week just have fun pack get your talk ready love your comp, have a great time at the temple enjoy the farewell and look forward to new and great adventures, I love you whatever you say plus one, you are the best SEE YA AT THE AIRPORT BRIGHT AND EARLY JUNE 12 th GOD BLESS LOVE YA MUM

Can't you feel the love and concern!

I have an awsm family..

wow.. I'm coming home soon.

WEIRD..

The Me-Monster in us all

Why is it that there are so many who feel like they have to let out the ME-MONSTER more than necessary? Every one always has to ONE UP each other. Thats more than irritating.. thats just wrong.. "my Story is better than yours.." let me show you an example...

I use to have a really big library.. lots of books.. I would read every day!

OH NO WAY!! I HAD THE BIGGEST Library! I tried to read a new book every day and i read all the time, my family loves me and blah blah blah..

Just an example.. not like it really happened.. but for the point of the story I hope that I have gotten my point across. Why is that? How come I got ripped a new one for sharing experiences with a past companion who said that I would talk about myself all the time.. Any of you who know me would know that REALLY I don't like to talk about myself.. so I'm bugged..

One other thought I had.. Satan has really been going to all extremees on me with my last weeks and all. I feel like he is coming in on all sides. Blah! Please pray for me!
