College

Whew.
College.
Who knew, right? I mean let's face it, me? Going to college? cha right.
BUT!
Here I am. And I kinda actually like it.  For the most part that is.
I'm taking pretty easy classes for now. And the people in my classes are pretty cool too!
...aaaannnnddddd that's all I really have to say on that subject because honestly, I have more subjects to cover! ;)
Elliott, you know, my crazy cousin.  Well guess what? He turns 19 in December and last wednesday he actually got his mission call!!!  AHHHHHHHHHH!!!  Go head, scream with me. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!  I texted him asking when he was going to open it because I wanted to be there.... he told me they already opened it and that he was going to Africa. Heart. Stopped.  Yup, I was pretty not happy with the kid so I called his Grandpa, my Uncle and asked him if it was true.  He just laughed at me.....
anyways. We went down to Delta for the weekend and Friday night Elliott opened his call.  Let me just say I have NEVER cried at these things. Elliott opened it up and held the paper so he could only read one line at a time and not jump ahead.  He read "Elder Bliss" and began to shake. His head fell and tears started to form in his eyes.  Yup. He was crying. And so was I. In fact, we all were.  He tried a few more times to speak but he just couldn't and walked away. No one knew what to do. About 5 minutes later he came back into the room and through the tears he read aloud,
Elder Bliss,
You have been called to serve in ARGENTINA, SALTA.  You will report to the Provo MTC February 1st.

Of course that's not it really but that's the short version ;)  He hugged his parents and siblings and then it was my turn. We hugged and I cried for a little while. Man.  My cousin, the one I grew up with, the one I got into trouble with and nearly killed ourselves multiple times is Going. On. A. Mission.
He's getting so OLD! but I'm not.  I refuse. But yeah, Argentina! Crazy!  I'm so happy for that crazy little boy!!

NEXT!
Kaylee is STILL in Hawaii..... I'm counting down the days until she comes home for good in December and we can move out together. I love that girl.  And skype just doesn't cut it after a while.  I miss running with her. I miss playing in the park and eating chocolate chips, and hiking and all that stuff.  But she'll be here soon.  And we'll go to UVU together and live together and life will be good.

Finally,

I have a little kitten.  Yup.  This house just wasn't the same without Gus.  Tink and I didn't do much of anything for the next few days.  We just couldn't.  So about a week after we lost Gus mom and I went to the pound and look what we found... YUP!  Isn't he a cutie???  His name is Raja Desiel.  Raja because he is my little cuddle bug just like in Aladdin!!!! Like for reals, I don't breath without this little one in my face.  Sometimes it gets on my nerves, like I have a paper due in a few hours and he wants to sleep on my keyboard. Yeah.... And Desiel cause when this little one starts to purr the whole house shakes.  It's pretty cute.  And he's healing my heart a little bit everyday.  But yeah, this is my bug.  And incase you were wondering. No, Tink isn't in love with him....yet.... he more... tolerates Raja.  Tink is a lazy cat that does his own thing and Raja is still very playful and just wants to be with Tink every second of every day. Oh well.  I think that Tink secretly does like him though, just don't let him know that I know his little secret! ;)
But yup. That's my life right now.
Hope yours is going good!
