crazyness

so i know that i dont have any cute pictures to post lately but this is whats been goin on.... i got a call from the Medical department of the Mission department saying that my papers said that im still on the pain medicine that i was on for my shoulder. so i had to write them a letter stating that i havint taken any for a while and that i was doing better. uncle snuffy has had my truck since we went to mexico and i just got it back today... finally! mom came to thatcher to help me pack up my junk to store while im on my mission... very very sad day to see my room so empty. it was such a crazy day. we packed all day then at about 700 mom and i headed to globe to give dad the truck and go head to snowflake to pick up the truck... and then drive back to thatcher this morning in time for work... and to study for finals.. i cant wait till its all over!

When....

When will this waiting end.... Im so close to having my papers in. But the Dr. is being slow. I have had my stake presidents interview and bishops interview.. we are just waiting for the Dr. they are so slow sometimes.

I just submited my papers to my bishop!!! whoo- hooo! we are crusing though the process! im som exicted!

Sooo.....

Life has been a little crazy as usual. Work work work school school school ect you get the idea. i have been trying to finish getting the medical stuff done for my papers and am still trying to remember where i put my immunization records so the doctor can have them. trying to get a hold of storage units to see if its worth it to put my stuff in storage or put at mom and dads house while im gone.

Its been crazy trying to get homework done, do laundry, study missionary stuff, go to Physical Thearpy, work, and try to have somewhat of a social life. and sleep somewhere in between all this.

i do have to say that for the first time in my life i never slept for a day and a half. i was so busy on thrusday that i never even thought about it.. i got off work at 630 am messed around till class at 8. sat in a lab class for three hours. then came home and did laundry that i hadnt done for almost three weeks. (scary i know) cleaned my room ( i havent seen the floor in quite a while (: ). Fixed Meghans hair (favorite roomie) for fall sing.. got myself ready for fall sing. whent to fall sing came home and fed the hungry moonster that took over my body by that time i was grouchy. hehe it was quite funny now that i look back at it.

do you know how much stuff people could get done if we didnt have to sleep. there would be so much more stuff that we could accomplish in this life if we didnt have to sleep once and a while. but at the same time i do love my sleep.. all college student love their sleep its a main staple in every day life for one. =)

I want to be a missionary now!

This is the picture that I submitted with my papers! Just waiting on medical and dental stuff! Then they will be on their way to the bishop and stake president! YAY! If you haven't figured it out yet I'm going on a mission =)
