My Sleep Clock is Off!


Well friends I'm up tonight b/c my sleep clock is all screwed up and I can't seem to sleep at the right times so I thought since I'm up and all I should check up on all my favorite blogs and update my own for all you's people out there who are kind enough to stop by and read.

Well life's rolling on with Second Session of Workshop almost half-way completed. We're much better prepared and feeling way more comfortable teaching the kids. If only we all could get them to sing for reals and do their homework memorizing stuff! Oh well, what can you do? What happens happens and we'll make it all work out I'm sure. Here's hoping that my lovely group of ladies will all be super fantastic for my number. It was really cool that the main producer of this kids workshop let me have a number all to myself. It's been fun to have that responsibility and the chance to let the creative juices flow. Not sure if it's as noteworthy number compared to others, but in my opinion it's a pretty stinking cute number and I stand by it :) 

In other news, we are sad and yet excited that Breckyn leaves for college at BYU tomorrow morning bright and early. We're all proud of her for making it this far and having the determination to get out and begin living and experiencing life away from home. It's really sad though. I remember that the night BEFORE I actually left home was the absolute hardest for me. Once I got to school in Utah, I was too busy and in a whole world outside of my comfort zone to be at all sad or homesick for a good while. But really, that last night having to pack up all my stuff and leave "my room" and "my home", etc. was really difficult. I don't think I slept much that night. I hope she has a great learning experience and only misses us a "healthy amount". Also i just want to publicly say how much I love her, admire her spirit and good qualities, and will really miss her when I leave on my mission. Being the next oldest under me has meant a lot of good times and a lot of bad times. But I mostly remember the good ones when we got along, and would hope she felt the same.

Finally, I'm REALLY trying to get back on the gym/trainer bandwagon and make a final push before the mish to get my eating and exercising plan in order so I have a good plan of attach for when I'm completely on my own out in the big wide world. It's such an up and down battle. Food is my enemy right now, and making time (or rather forcing myself to go) to work out is such a fight. I hope that things will get easier in that dept. like it's been for me at other times since I came home from the Y. 

This next week will mark the beginning of the major shopping extravaganza for all things mission-related. It's going to be crazy getting it all but I'm way excited to do it at the same time. It brings a sort of finality to all the preparation and I really begin to catch the spirit of this next big adventure. I hardly know anything about Buenos Aires or the people there, but I can already tell I'm going to love it. From what everyone I know who's served there has said, it's "the Jackpot as far as missions are concerned" (thank you Drex). 

So until next time, I bid everyone good night!
