1 Month. 7 Months.

Writing the date today in my journal during Bible Study was a total shock for me.  I wrote on accident Dec 28 which is my birthday.  Today is one month til my 21st birthday and 7 months til I leave on my mission trip. 

Although this date isn't set in stone for when I will leave on my trip with all my planning and scheduling and everything that keeps me up at night sometimes all say that I will be leaving in June 28.  It's almost scary to think about that date for me though.  It seems so far away and yet so close.  It's also scary to think that this time next year I will be off in some part of the world that I'm not even sure of.  I won't have thanksgiving with my families and won't be black friday shopping with my mom.  That's just weird for me to think about.

And then there's my birthday.  I'll be 21.  In every sense I will be legal.  Especially here in Vegas.  I could go to a club if I wanted to.  I could gamble, if I wanted to.  I can drink for the first time legally, if I wanted to.  Weird to think about for me.  There have been like thousand plans for this day and the only one I'm really sure of is that I am going snowboarding with at least my best friend.  Everyone else is more than welcome to come, I think we are going to Lee Canyon for the fact that its close and they didn't raise their prices.  If I get enough people to tell me to go to Brianhead I might consider going up there. But at the moment it will be me and Matt heading up there and catching the first runs of the day and coming back exhausted. 

It's weird to think about all of this.  I'm uber stressed with school ending.  I have 7 tests, two days of classes, and two papers and I will finally be done.  Then comes the semester of 21 (not 24 like I had planned) credits.  It will be a long semester til I leave. 

I'm excited and hopeful though.  I know it will all come sooner than I expected and I'll be home again before I know it.  Oh life.... please give me a break so i can lay in bed and do nothing....

SO  nothing too important or life changing in this blog. Just dates and reminders that time is flying by faster and faster.... Let me know if anyone is down to go skiing or snowboarding on my birthday. It's pay your own way (sorry I can't pick up the tab.)
