Sometimes you study super super hard for and O-Chem exam, and somehow still get and 84%, which is totally NOT what you were hoping for...
And then you have no motivation to study or do homework for ANYthing so you instead make a list of the things you want to do when you return to your beautiful hometown. #procrastinationatit'sfinest
Things-I-Want-To-Do-In-Florida-Before-I-Leave-For-My-Mission Bucket List:
Spend an afternoon walking and relaxing on the beach, and then watch the sunset.
Explore Ft. Pickens
Run the Bluffs (a lot). I have missed that run sooooo much, it's a little weird.

Take lunch to my little bro at school and surprise him.
Go to Jessa's horse riding lessons.
Bring my daddy lunch at work.
Go visit family in Fairhope.
Daddy-daughter dates.

Called To Serve
Even as I sit here typing this, it doesn't feel real. I still can't believe I'm going on a mission. I still can't believe I'm going where I'm going! But I am. so. excited.
I had expected my call to be here before conference weekend, and I had planned on opening it that Sunday when all of my family would be home.
However, Heavenly Father and the USPS had something else in mind, and despite checking the mail 20120498 times on Friday and Saturday it still. wasn't. there.
Monday morning I got a call from my mom and she said, "If you get a package notification, don't think it is your mission call. I sent you one last week and it should be there today! So don't freak out, I don't want you to be disappointed.

General Conference 2015
Elise and I had the amazing opportunity to go to the Sunday Afternoon session of General Conference this October! It was such a neat experience and the speakers delivered amazing talks.
I know that we have a prophet and apostles today who lead and guide us. They speak words of comfort, peace, and direction that we need to hear, and if we head their counsel we will be blessed.
One of my favorite quotes from the talks given that weekend was from Sister Carole M. Stevens. She said,
"God never loses sight of our potential, even when we do."
