Time flies......WAY TOO FAST!!

I can't believe that my last post I had 72 days left!!!!! Turn that around and minus a few and that's all I have left now...NUTS! I honestly try not to think too much about it cause then I just get a teary eyed and emotional. Don't get me wrong I am WAY excited...Vacouver isn't going to know what hit them! But the anxiety about leaving for 18 months is definitely starting to hit! I am trying my darndest to spend time with family, friends, Matt, and everyone else that I care about and its starting to get harder and harder the more that, my family especially, demands my time. We are DONE with shopping, which is a HUGE releif. I never thought that day would come...I thought we'd be busy, busy, busy right up until the last moment. But now I get and entire 3 1/2 week break! And more time to spend with those I love. I know the 18 months will go by faster than I can even imagine and that when it ends I'll be thinking "didn't I just get out here???!!!" I really am so grateful for all that I have and all the blessings that I have received since deciding to go on a mission. I look back over the last 3 1/2 months and I can see the Lord's hand in everything. I wouldn't change a thing right now...other than more time. But I can't be too picky and I am on the Lord's errand, not my own. I can't wait to start serving and being immersed in the Gospel...its going to ROCK! I do have pictures to post too from the last little bit but that is going to have to wait for when I can get internet on my laptop...But SOON I promise! Thank you all for being there for me and being great friends! I couldn't ask for more!!!
