Opps…
I guess I have forgotten to write on my blog for a while. I guess it is time to
play some catch up! Lots of things have been going on in my life since my last
post so I guess I better start with the most important thing!!
 |
| My Call! |
I
GOT MY MISSION CALL!!! Yay! I know so exciting right? Anyway I am going to
Chicago Illinois and will be speaking Spanish! Anyone who knows me even a little
knows me even a little knows that Spanish may not be my favorite language. Let’s
just say I was a little bit shocked when I read that part of my call. After
studying for French for around four years, I would have loved to go French
speaking, but I guess that is just not in the Lord’s plans for me. Ever since
receiving my call I am becoming more and more excited to learn Spanish! Honestly,
Spanish will be such a useful language to know and hopefully my French back ground
will aid in the learning process, as I also am real horrible and learning
languages!

I
leave August 7th! I know, it is super soon! I opened my call June 5th,
so I only will have about two months from getting my call and leaving. O yes, I
almost forgot the best part! I am going to the MTC in Mexico! Yay! I love
living in other countries even if it is only for six weeks, I am totally
counting it! I have lots of shopping to do before I leave needless to say!
The
other major change in my life since my last post, is my wonderful second job in
the Deli at Maceys. I am pretty sure that sometimes I am delusional and do not
think things all the way through, and this is the case with my new job. While
the thought of earning more money and having something to do at night was
appealing to me, I guess I just didn’t realize how much a second job entailed.
I started working at Maceys Memorial Day and have been working four to five
days a week there ever since.
The
biggest problem is I thought it would be a part time thing, when it is turning
out be more full time than anything. So most days I worked 8-3 at Lowry and
then go straight to Maceys and work 3-10, but let’s be honest 10 doesn’t really
mean 10 it means 10:20 and even 10:40 sometimes. The good part is the work at
Maceys goes by pretty fast as I am constantly doing things.
I
didn’t expect to be leaving on my mission so soon, but it has given me a great
excuse to quit, and last Friday I turned in my two weeks at Maceys, which
actually turns out to be three and a half weeks because I don’t know how to say
no. The extra cash for my mission will be great, but these last few weeks have
been real packed with no friend time which isn’t great as I only have 51 days
left.
In
the mean time I have been able to find some time for some fun random
activities. Such as the Arrest Development Watching Party at #themodelhome!

P!
Yay I'm so glad you blogged!! You are leading such a crazy life now! I'm really glad that I at least get to see you for several hours at work each day since Macey's consumes the rest of your life! Also, I really like that mission call picture. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so...you are basically working two full time jobs and making BANK, and still having a more exciting summer than I am. I love that you still go out at night and do exciting things! You are great, and you are going to be an amazing missionary. I'm pretty excited for you to get to live in Mexico for a bit. And it totally counts ;) Can we please hang out soon?!
