Anxious//Excited

okay, so you know that feeling where you are so excited about something you could puke? and you know that feeling where you are so incredibly nervous aboue something you could puke? well i am feeling both of them at this very moment just thiking about what i will be doing 3 hours from now. 2 nights ago i had a dream that they ((royal servants)) wouldnt let me go on the trip because my boxes where too heavy. now, let me explain to you all how i had to pack for this wonderful trip. first off, me and mom got all my stuff on wednesday. we were kinda last minute. haha. anyways, i had to pack everything ((including my clothes)) in gallon ziploc bags and then pack the bags into 2 cardboard boxes. it was probably that most difficult think i have ever done! the boxes had to be less that 50 lbs. well, mine werent. so i had a little meltdown. but, my wonderful dad made it better, and hopefully they will let me in now. haha.
One of the things i am most excited about it just meeting new people. its kinda like that part on high musical where she is talking about going to a new place being like kindergarden. where no one knows you, but they want to get to know you. you have an opportunity to really show people who you are without them judging or looking down on you for who you are or something in the past. its also an exciting thing to meet so many christians. i can not wait. oh man, but something i am NOT so excited about -- the obstacle course. when you pray for me, put that at the top of your list please. i know my whole team will hate me becuase we will be the last through the obstacle course. i just know it. :)
I am so very excited to see what God has in store for me and others while i am in nepal. thanks again in advance for everyone who will be praying!

Officially Graduated.

yep. im done. high is officially over. that is crazy. all the parties are done, all the gifts are open, all the thank you cards are written ((well almost all of them)), and it feels very weird i do have to say. i went to the high school with mindy yesterday to get my diploma and it was the oddest thing to know that i will never actually go to that school again. we had to sign in as guests. that was even stranger. a word to the under//upperclassman: those 4 years really do go by fast. even though you may think high school is the worst 4 years of your life ((which is probably true)) they are full of many wonderful memories. and yeah 4 years is really nothing compared to how many years that our left in your life, but treasure the stuff that happens while you are in high school, because it will never happen again. never wish your life away. :-)

so yeah, this graduating thing also kinda scares me because i am leaving for nepal in 10 days. that is so crazy. ahhh. thanks to everyone who has supported me. i appreciate it very much.

mann...i miss the isbells. :-(
