I leave on my mission in about two days!! Can you believe it?! It's finally here.
I am SOOOOO excited and can't even wait.
Just skip the MTC and get me to Chile please.
Ok, not really, I'm excited for the MTC. I've only heard wonderful things.

So, I guess it's time for me to give up this blog (for 18 months).
To follow my mission and hear all about my adventures please follow:

On my Bucket list I started in 2008,  I only have 11 completed.
1. Study abroad
2. Hitchhike
3. Read Book of Mormon in 2 months
4. Learn to Ski
5. Enjoy the Met
6. Meet some famous (is it bad I counted Jimmer for this??)
7. Record something musical in a studio
8. Be Hypnotized
9. Build a 6 ft. snowman
10. Perform in a Flash Mob
11. Go on a mission (this one is in progress)

It makes me sad to think that's all, but I know the others are obtainable.
Some of these include:
- Attend a fashion show
- Either ride or pet a Zebra
- See 7 wonders of the world (I'm at 5)
- Learn a new language (give me a year and a half)
- Get stuck on a roller coaster
- Rome, Rome, Rome
- Go to DASH (kardashian store)
- Floating Lanterns, preferably in Thailand but I'd be okay with anywhere.
- Pick fresh berries and make a treat from them. Pie anyone??

Obviously I have MANY MANY more, but these are some.
I find it so good to have a bucket list.
Brings a happiness to life. Helps with my imagination.

If you don't have one, start one.
If you do.... what are some??

p.s. mission in 17 days

How can you go a valentines day without hearing this song?

I know it's not the famous Nat King Cole...

but really, this is amazing. Have a listen and Happy Heart Day! 

This was in the scroll my owl brought me...

 Happy Valentines Day!
