So I know this is late, but Merry Christmas to everyone!! And Happy New Year. I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. This Christmas was weird for me, because it'll be the last one at home for a while. Which is kinda depressing, and that's why I didn't really think about that. ;) So, I know I'm growing up and becoming an adult, and I know this because of the things I asked for, for Christmas.. Gone are the days of asking for toys, clothes, candy, and (in my case) books. Nope, I asked for things that'll help me on my mission, such as, skirts, blouses, the missionary companion books (Jesus The Christ, etc), scripture marking things.. Ya, so not something I would've asked for normally, but again, I'm growing up and becoming an adult. So weird! So Christmas was really fun. We just hung around the house and had family time. It was a lot of fun!
On to my trip to Utah.. Last week, Jan. 2nd-9th I went to Utah for the last time until after my mission. My dad had approached me early December and asked if I'd like to go back one more time, and I said "Heck yes!!" So he paid for my flight out to Utah. What a good Dad!! I totally love him! Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Most of my other trips I'd taken to Utah were all about hanging out with friends and going to weddings. This time, I wanted it to be more of a family trip. So my mom and I went and visited my Grandma and Aunt in Wyoming for a few days. But the rest of the week I was able to just hang with my mom. It was a good time for both of us. Growing up, I didn't have the best relationship with my mom, so being able to go and hang out with her was fun. I'm so glad that I can start building the mother-daughter relationship I didn't have when I was younger. So this trip to Utah was a bitter-sweet trip, but I wouldn't have traded it for the world!
So, now it's crunch time. I started my last semester of school today, and I'm going to be starting the mission process here shortly, and by February my papers will be in! I'm so excited and nervous, but I know it'll be a good thing. :)
