Home now....


I never thought I'd blog....but I'm super bored. I'm being held hostage by the people who love me most. I'm sort of still living in my own post mission world. Things are super weird and any minute I keep thinking I'll wake up and hit my knees exercise for 30 minutes and get my study on then hit the streets. So far I've done the waking up at 6:30 am and the studies...However, my family keeps spicing up my life with fun little adventures....
Friday- It was such a jam packed day. We were all running on adrenaline and 4 hours of sleep. Basketball at 4:30 am and then goingto Adam on Diahman and Far West were incredible. On the way to the airport Elder Clayton missed the exit. It was almost a dream come true! Then we got on the plane. Saying Goodbye to the Van Komens was the worst. The flight was good. Going down the escalator was phenomenal. There was my sweet mom. My sweet best friend Jessica Wathen. My friends Heidi, KayCee, Paul and now a new friend someone I never knew before Jeff. Pretty funny and classic. Went home and saw the loves of my life. The night was a good night
Saturday- This morning I got released. It was pretty peaceful. Really hard but the Lord makes all things work for our benefit. Went to the mall. I had a total culture shock. I went into Eddie Bauer and my former manager just looked at me and started throwing clothes at me. It's nice to not have to think for yourself sometimes.
But then I went to the temple and things made sense. I felt home. I felt peace and control. Thats the gospel for you. It just makes things right.
Sunday- I went to my singles ward. That was a strange experience. Bless everyone's hearts for putting up with me. What a basketcase. It's neat to be among saints my own age but also just really strange. I looked around and was like
   " Where are your companions?" "Why are you touching each other?" "Where are my investigators?"
It's the strangest feeling. It's hard to think that I'm home. I keep moving forward though. That's the best part of life it always goes on. The Lord wants you to succeed and have joy. I can do those things. I can have joy!!!
Today I am with my Sister and my Mom. We came to the studio. This life before the mission was so good. I love dance I love moving and feeling the music. It makes a great way to feel.

I CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC NOW!
