The Time of My Life

I don't know if any of you are familiar with "The Time of My Life" by David Cook, but I seriously feel like that right now. That is my new theme song.  I'm just so happy, loving everything, and having the time of my life!  I'm not engaged or pregnant or going on a mission or anything else big and life changing like everyone else.  But I'm just enjoying every moment of every day!

Last night, I had the opportunity to sing with the SDSU Institute Choir, even though I don't go to SDSU or that institute, and it was amazing!  We sang at the San Diego Temple Workers' Devotional, and it was just so great!  We sang "Consider the Lilies" (one of my personal favorites), "I Stand All Amazed," and "More Holiness Give Me."  Now that I think about it, those are all favorites of mine, but "Consider the Lilies" holds a special place in my heart. Anyway, it was a simply wonderful night!

And this is the time of my life...

January's Already Halfway Over

This month has been wonderful!  Corey is now 19, Grant was blessed, and the new year is off to a good start. Everyone I know seems to be getting married, which is way exciting.  I feel like I'm the only one not getting married at 20 years old, but I'm more than okay with that.  I promise! :)

I can't believe in less than four months I'll be on an adventure of my own, away from everyone I know.  I'm very excited!  Mexico will be a unique experience, and I'm so glad I have this opportunity.  It doesn't sound that exciting.  I mean, I could have gone to Europe to study abroad, but I just felt like that would be more about shopping and luxury, whereas MesoAmerica is more of a third world experience.  I want to go to Europe more than anything, mainly Italy, but Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala... I just wanted to go somewhere not as flashy, if you know what I mean.

I also found a new friend since I've been home!  Her name is Jessica, and she just got home from serving a mission in New York.  We hang out all of the time now, and it's just fun!  She is such a sweet girl!

I'm working at Barnes & Noble full-time, and I'm loving it! Of course, I wish I could buy almost everything I see, but it's still fun!

Anyway, everything is simply wonderful!  I couldn't be happier!  :)

Corey Gets Glasses...

Yes, Corey found out he has to wear glasses.  But he only has to wear them to see long distances, so primarily for driving.  Weird.  He's never had glasses or contacts.

FHE

Ice skating!  Tonight for FHE, 18th ward went ice skating at Horton Plaza.  It was so fun! It was even better that my brother and my friend, Jessica came.  I really had a good night!  That was the most fun I'd had in a while!  I'm so grateful for singles ward, activities, good friends, and my brother.  They're all great!

Corey's Farewell Date

One month, one week from today Corey enters the MTC. Weird.  Time is literally flying by, and this still seems so unreal.

Just fyi, Corey will be speaking in La Mesa 1st Ward at the Aztec Building at 9am on January 25th for anyone who want to hear him speak before he leaves on February 11th. It's kind of early before he leaves, but there is another farewell on February 8th and February 1st is Fast Sunday, so the 25th of January it is.

If you need more information, address, etc, let me know.

2008 comes to an end...

This probably sounds terrible, but I really want 2009 to be over already.  I know it's a new year, etc, etc, but I just want it to be 2010.  This is gonna be a long year, and I just want it to be over.  Only 364 days left...

On the up side of things, I have a lot to look forward to this year, so I should be excited. Corey is going to Japan, I'm going to Central America, I'm probably going to be an EFY counselor this summer, and who knows what else is in store for me.
