Everything's OK!

I KNOW I'M SO CHEESY AND YOU LIKE IT.

So guess what? I'm going on a mission! I might've mentioned it before, but there you have it! It's been a long time coming. And let me tell you a little something.

So I finally, FINALLY had my papers in and was waiting patiently for my call to arrive. I was at work and just thinking OH MY GOSH I'M GOING TO THROW UP (but don't worry I didn't) because I was so dang nervous! Honestly, I was so nervous about where I was going to go. I was trying not to worry about it too much, but I mean that's a year and a half of my life. So I was freaking out a little and driving my family NUTS with texts (IS IT HERE YET???!??!!).

My Uncle Bruce ended up hanging out by the mailbox with his lunch, and I'm pretty sure he was more anxious than me! I didn't open it till 8:30 so some other people could come.

Okay, okay, before I tell you where I'm going (IF YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW BECAUSE THAT WAS LIKE 3 WEEKS AGO) I have to tell you this.

You know when people ask you where you want to go on your mission, and you're supposed to say, "Well, I don't care. I'll go where I'm supposed to!"

So I would always say, "Well I don't care . . . as long as it's foreign . . ."

I was so nervous, you guys. What if I went somewhere state-side? It would be so lame! And I kept telling Heavenly Father, "You know, I'll go where you want me to go . . . but you know I can handle foreign, right? Right??"

Alright. So I was about to puke open my call, and everyone was there and there were phones and cameras and everything. I used a rather large kitchen knife to open the envelope, and there it was. My call.

I'm going to Oklahoma City, everyone!

And as I read those words, I have to tell you, I didn't even have half a second to be disappointed. The Spirit testified to me that Oklahoma is exactly where I need to be. And I could hardly read it, I was crying so much.

AND THEN I READ THAT I WOULD BE LEAVING ON AUGUST 7th AND HOOOLLLY COW. That's so soon! But it still seemed so far away . . .

AND HERE I AM WITH NO MISSION ANYTHING and it's 3 weeks away!

I can't even handle this.

I'm so excited I could die.

BUT I WON'T SO DON'T EVEN WORRY.



p.s. OK? Gettit? Like . . . Oklahoma?
