21 More Days!!!!

Not that I'm really counting though!! ;)

So as you all may know, my farewell is happening this sunday and I'm happy to announce I've finished my talk as of sunday night!! Now all I have to do is kinda critique it until saturday! YaY!!!
As for my readiness for this mission, I don't think I'll ever be ready, or maybe I'm getting too ready for it! But most likely I'll never be ready! I've got most of the things that they ask you to bring, we hope! Haha! So far, I've come home from every visit to Wal-Mart or Target with something thats on the list that we may already have, but I want it new and my parents thinks I'm weird!
I received my first letter from my mission president and I've gotta say, the guy sounds very nice! I'm excited to meet him, apparently I'll be meeting him and his wife at the airport! Hopefully he can give me some more helpful hints with his next letter!
I do have a request from everyone!!! I'm waiting to hear if I'm allowed to bring an iPod or not, but if I am, I am looking for music to take! I already have some on my computer, but want some more! So one thing you could give me is a copied cd of music that is church appropriate!!!!! I'll narrow it down even more for you! No romantic content and no music that does not welcome the spirit! So, there is the one request I ask of you!
Also, for the little get together after sacrament meeting on sunday: we're planning on doing a brunch, but mostly breakfast, type thing! Some have already said they would bring a breakfast casserole, or cinnamon rolls, but we might need some more stuff!!! If you could bring chocolate milk, or muffins, or if you want to go buy a veggie or fruit tray, or juice, the sky's the limit!!! We'd appreciate it so so much!!!
I'm taking a whole two weeks off before I enter the MTC and I'm so excited to be rid of USDC for a year and a half!! Next thursday is my last day, and I'm so excited for it to come!
I went through the SLC Temple on March 3rd and LOVED IT!! We took some pictures, but they are on my mother's computer, so I'll load them later! My mother was my escort, my dad came, as did Grammy and Lynn and my friends Brandon and Jessica! I was so thankful for the support and for the opportunity to attend the temple! Since that day, I've been able to go a few times! I have enjoyed every visit and wanna make sure I get as many visits in as I can before I leave!!
Anyways, these are my rantings and ravings...my confessions...my blah blah blahs!!! Enjoy!

Can I get the address to your chapel? Also 9 AM right?

I wouldn't take the ipod - just my thoughts...
