Apartment 7

   Well the time finally came, I am currently a resident of St George Utah! I moved down a few days ago and have been loving it ever since. I was fortunate enough to have my parents bring me down along with all the baggage that came with moving. Once we got here we got all checked in and started to unpack. It was so unreal that I was finally here doing what I had been looking forward to for months. After we did some unpacking then it was off to the store to find some things to put into my room, we found a cute dresser with bins for only $35! I was sold.

The complete room!

Then we went to the grocery store and got me set with all the groceries I will need for the next month or even longer. I was set, my room was set up, the pantry was full, tuition paid and had a new laptop! I am looking forward to this year and what it has to bring. I am so grateful for my parents and everything they have done to get me here. I love them and miss them like crazy already. It's crazy to think that this is what I will call home for the next 9 months!

Let the adventures of Apartment 7 begin!!

Ready or Not.

 Well finally it is almost here!  I will be moving out in 10 days! I couldn't be more excited and ready, it will be a fresh start for me, a chance for me to find out a little more about myself, and an opportunity for some spiritual and emotional growth, and last but not least it will kill some time for me, to pass the time til Ty comes home. I am looking forward to the big move next week and even more so to see what St. George has to offer for the next nine months. Till then I will be running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to pack and get ready!

St George.... ready or not here I come!!

.Emotional Roller Coaster.

    Well, I know I talk a lot about Ty in this blog, and I'm sorry if any of you are sick of reading about it. But the beauty of having a blog is, that sometimes it is more for my sake than for anyone else's...

    Having a missionary out is such an emotional roller coaster. Everyday I feel so proud of Ty and his decision to serve, knowing that he is doing and will do incredible things for himself and for the people of Mexico. I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else but in Mexico serving the people and our Father in Heaven. But there is also those days where I start to feel so lonely and start to miss my boy more than ever.
     Letters, emails and tapes have become my manna, I look forward to and live for these! Whenever I feel sad or lonely I just go to listen to Ty's voice or read his letters and it makes it all better. I miss Elder Allen, more than words can say. But I am gaining such an appreciation for him and our relationship. I can't wait for the day when he comes home and we can be together again! But until then, as a good friend once told me, we are making baby steps to eternity!

I Love My Missionary!
