Adios

Peace out, homies! See ya'll in eighteen!

Down to the Wire

 

Almost There

Ok, people. I'm down to 20 days left. Less than three weeks. Twenty days and I'll be Sister Tucker, wearing a skirt and asking for referrals. I cannot wait for this next chapter in my life.

Going Out With a Bang

I knew my life was going too well. I had just finished my last final this morning, I'm coming home in a week, and I was going to have crepes for breakfast. Nothing better.

Unfortunately when I went to return my book rentals they didn't have my order in the system. What the heck? I had just gotten an email from them this morning telling me my books were due soon. But they had pretty much nothing on me. So I had to go back home and print off the email and my receipt so I had proof that I really did rent my books from them. When I returned they still couldn't help me until they called some people and got their answers half an hour later. In the end it all worked out and I thought I was going to have a peaceful morning.

So much for that.

I don't want to retell the whole story so I'll just repost the link and have Chelsea tell it for me. Here's a picture first though, and you can try to guess what happened. I think my life just needed a little excitement... and some burns to remind me of it later.

In my desperation to get the crepes off the stove before the smoke got any worse I also got some of that lovely plastic stuck to me. Thank goodness for ice. I think we'll be friends for the rest of the day.

I fired myself from cooking. My roommates don't object. The end.

I Hope They Call Me On a Mission!

I have been called to serve in the North Carolina Charlotte mission. I will be speaking English and I enter the Provo MTC on June 26th.

To all of those that I kept this a secret from, I'm sorry. Surprise! I really am thrilled about this and I'm excited to serve the people of North Carolina!

Life Plans

On Tuesday in my creative writing class we had a guest speaker come in and talk about what her life is like as professional writer. My dream has always been to write a bestseller and turn writing into a career. But Tuesday I discovered that I don't want to be a writer. I don't want to be the wife who never spends time with her husband and has to leave her kids for a long periods of time while touring around the country. I realized that I don't want any part of it. The money isn't worth it. The time isn't worth it. The effort isn't worth it. When I have a family, I want that to be my sole focus. I want to be able to play with my kids and not worry about who I'm leaving them with for the next week while I go off to sign books for strangers.

I don't want to be a writer.

So....I think a new blog name is in the works. And we'll see in a few weeks where life decides to take me.
