All I have to say is... WOW!!!

This blog thing is SOO much harder than people make it out to be good grief. I mean I'm not generally all that slow when it comes to technology but this is the most complicated thing I have ever attempted in my whole life. Anyway, I figured "Everyone else is doing it" so heck I wanted to join the fun. Plus it makes it easier for my handlers to keep tabs on me after I take off to NY!

So I think I'll make my first post be a little bit about me right now at this very moment in time. I am about to leave on the what feels like the most emotionally draining adventure of my life. I have been called to serve a mission in the New York, New York North mission. At first glance you think "Oh, hey that's really exciting. I bet you will love it and it will be so much fun!" Yeah I say that too. Don't get me wrong, I am actually more excited to get going than people may realize. But I am scared as (we'll go with) heck to go on this mission.

Up until the day my call came in the mail me serving a mission didn't really seem to be a sacrafice. You hear those stories about the kid that sold his violin after he was offered a job in some huge symphony or something like that. Me, I'm just chuggin along. A junior in college - going to school cuz there really isn't anything else to do in Podunk. But after alot of I guess you could call it reflecting I see that I have really taken advantage of the life I have and the friends that have crossed my path along the way. I think I've heard more "Erin, I'm gonna miss you" in the last 2 weeks than I've heard in my entire life. I'm glad to know I'm going to be missed but I'm not dead yet!

I have been having a blast the last month or two. Sad thing it all had to happen now that the semester is coming to a depressing close. I have gotten into the horrible habit of getting attached to the people that come into my life while up at college. I've really gotta stop that! But I love every single one of them! They have all been huge influences, some don't even realize it. I've grown to respect and love my sisters in D7 and D8. They are pretty much my best friends and I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE!

I've got my texting buddy Trevor, who mind you is pretty much fan-freakin-tastic! Just an all around awesome guy! I kidnapped him yesterday and took him to Craigo's for a gloriously delicious cookie monster. If I were you, I'd put that on my top 10 things to do before I die list... worth it I promise! His roommates aren't so bad either - they have their could you be any dumber moments and make what I consider to be stupid decisions but they make me see what I should and shouldn't approve of in my life. They make me realize what kind of people I should waste my time with. I love them nonetheless! I wish the two boys that are leaving for the semester could just stay - you could live in my car... it would be fun! But I know they've gotta go! Who in their right mind stays in this town if they don't have to.

Ok I don't know what happened but I'm done talking now! Ourfeetarethesame! Haha
