Summer is officially over...

...which means I can start blogging again! Hooray! Strangely, I felt way more busy during the Summer than I did the rest of the year so I've been slacking a bit on the blog front. Well, and let's face it - Summer is conducive to laziness, am I right?
So for my first post-Summer blog......I have an announcement!!! Can you guess what it is? Here are some pictures to give you a hint:
I'm going to be serving an LDS mission in Vancouver, Canada, Mandarin (oranges) Chinese speaking!!! I leave for the Provo MTC on December 16th. I can't wait!! It will be difficult, but the best thing I can think of to do with my life right now. I owe so much to the Lord and I'm hoping this will be a good start. The love I feel from him is almost overwhelming. I'm so excited to help others feel this same love in their lives! Geez, I am totally in annoying missionary mode right now...sorry about that!:)
Thank you everyone who has helped me be a better person and has inspired me to serve and to teach. And if anyone has any advice to give me regarding ANYTHING about preparing to leave, please feel free to share your secrets! Especially if you know of any stores with CUTE sister missionary clothes - I refuse to be frumpy!
