bored and underscored

soooo . . . guess what?? three and a half weeks, less than a month, or 25 days! pick whichever sounds shortest, that's what i do :) it may sound like a very short amount of time, but this past month or two have seemed like an eternity. if the days insist on slowly creeping by like they have been, then, according to my calculations, the next few weeks for me are going to be equivalent to about 5 months in normal (non-pre-missionary) time. i am sure anyone who has served a mission will understand what i mean. the wait is rough!

to fill my time, i have resorted, but not limited myself to the following: building forts with my siblings, watching boring netflix movies, reading seven books, attending the temple 3 or 4 times in a week sometimes, spending waaay too much time on facebook, making medicine bags for scout day camp, sleeping ten hours a night, going to bunco night with mom, practicing piano to the point of annoying my whole family, buying a bajillion things on my missionary list, going around with the sister missionaries in our stake whenever i can, and dying my hair darker out of desperation! see?


some of the things in the above list have some value to them, but sadly, a lot of them don't. needless to say i will be welcoming the transition into missionary life! although i am a little worried about some things. i mean, it's taking a lot of faith to believe that 6:30 a.m. even exists anymore. i haven't seen it in so long. i'm sure the hour will seem all too real soon enough.

i am trying my best to enjoy this time i have, but i am constantly looking towards that blessed day: march 23! it's definitely gunna be a birthday to remember!
