Pictures and Random Thoughts

I can't send Seth packages often (only twice a year with his family's stuff) or send anything of any value whatsoever. (tried that, it was stolen right out of my letter before it got to him) So I have been trying to send him creative little things that I can fit in envelopes. Here's my latest one...Thanks for the idea, Desiree. =)

I realized the other day that I haven't put any recent pictures of Seth on his mission up yet. So here we go!

We both LOVE little kids...therefore I love this picture. =)

Bringing others to the Gospel...'atta boy!

This last Sunday I was able to listen to some wonderful speakers! One of them spoke on waiting. (Not exactly about missionaries or anything, but I thought it applied very well.) She said that waiting was not just sitting around being idle, it is preparing oneself for whatever it is that he/she is waiting for. I liked that. A lot. Reminds me that I can't just be twiddling my thumbs and sitting around waiting for the day Seth comes home, not if I want to be ready when that time arrives. If I want to keep up with him and his progression I have to be working hard! I like to think I'm doing a decent job, but I can definitely do better. I feel like I'm never quite where I need to be in my life. That's natural though, right? 

Speaking of where I'm at in my life, in ten days I move into my very first apartment! Yikes! I am a little nervous, but mostly excited. I don't really feel old enough to have my own place yet.

Since I'm kind of skipping around between random subjects, here's another. In exactly one week I'm going to be getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Nooot excited about that. I can just imagine if Seth were here, he would tease me relentlessly for my puffy cheeks and out-of-it mentality. Strange as this may sound, I wish he were here to give me a hard time. 

Another random thought, at the moment I'm watching the Disney movie Tangled with my younger siblings. I was so excited when it came out that Seth took me and one of my besties to see it in theaters. I loved it so much that, when we were leaving the theater, I held his hand and danced and skipped across the street. Nothing like good ol' Disney to bring out the little girl in me. Love it. Love him.

Also, is it just me, or did summer go by really fast? It's almost over already! One summer without Seth down, only one more to go. =)

P.S.- The other night I had a dream that I got a letter. That's it. That was my whole dream. Kinda sad, huh? lol Even when I do get to see him in my dreams, he's still a missionary. Guess my mind is finally getting used to the idea.
