the year full of lasts...

I am officially the worst blogger on the planet. haha I haven't published anything since July 3rd! But I haven't had hardly any wifi since mid-August, so who can blame me?
I cannot believe how quickly time has FLOWN BY. It seemed like last week that volleyball had just started. And now I have two games left. Slap. In. The. Face. This year is going to be over before I know it! Which is an incredibly insane thought. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited for the rest of my life (cough.. my mission.. cough) but still! High school is this bittersweet, incredibly awesomely terrible thing that leaves you in what seems like minutes. And I have the fear that I'm not ready for the "real world"...
Like I said, I have a game on Monday at Payson (My last away volleyball game. Like ever.) and my Last home volleyball game on Tuesday. Which is also senior night, aka the night where I'm going to cry, win or lose. It's all to surreal. Tonight was senior night for football, and even though I was at the top of the field running through the national anthem a few time with my fellow vocal jazzers, I still was able to catch a glimpse of the reality Tuesday will bring. I'll no longer be a "Lady Dino", sure, I'll be alumni. But we all know that isn't really the same thing. My last home game. My last game with my team. My last game as a Lady Dino.
Speaking of missions! *cough ;) I'm so excited! Have you heard!? The prayer in my heart got answered! By a prophet, nonetheless! :) I have been hoping for this change to what seems like, forever!! I'm a naturally impatient person, in most cases. And waiting until I was 21 to go on a mission, wouldn't have worked out with me. It just felt like so far away! As if I'd never get there in time. (funny thing is, in the 7th grade, I thought it'd take me forever to become a Senior. and look at me now...) So maybe it wouldn't be that bad, but still! 3 years after high school seems like forever. So now, my plan is (as of now...) to go to BYU-I for the Fall and Winter trimester, come home and leave on my mission! presto! :) The plan is still is under works, and I haven't even applied for colleges/scholarships yet, so anything could happen. I'm still so excited! Being able to teach the gospel so soon makes me sooo happy! Maybe they'll even extend missions for girls to two years by that time ;)
This year of high school is a year full of lasts: last home games, last first days, last homecoming. you get the picture. And before I know it I'll be tripping my way up to get my diploma. A graduated senior. An adult, pfft! hahah. It seems so soon. But I guess if I waited until I felt "ready" I'd be in high school still as the "super super" (maybe even another super) senior. So better late than never as they say.
It still hasn't settled in.
Welp. I should probably get some sleep. Since it's almost one... Hopefully more consistent blog posts because now I have consistent wifi! :)

Thanks for reading :)
