Last Week

Tomorrow starts my last full week in Rexburg. Crazy eh? Of course I am stressing out over how to spend my time, becasue there are so many people and places to see. Last night was so fun, and it made me very sad to leave. First I will tell you how we spent the rest of the day. So I had this fabulous, original idea to sneak around and draw on the trampoline that people in our war own with chalk. It was very fun and we had to be sneaky. We want to do more if we can. We also jumped on the tramp with Cambry and Sidney Stoddard. They are so cute. Then we lit bottle rockets and got our mini projector and watched Red Riding Hood on the garage door. It was a very fun day. We decided that it felt like an endless summer day. It was a great feeling to bewith your best friends all day doing the most wild things. Morgan gave a talk today and did a good job. I am currently serving in the nusery which is pretty good. I am not as spritually uplifted as I normally get, but I do love those little kids. Dad has been in a good mood all day because he was excited to cook the trout he and Morgan caught the other day. It tasted really good, as usual. I wish Mal would like fish. She is missing out. Trout is the fishiest, most exotic tasting fish I have ever had. We went on our usual Sunday walk. I was so excited because Jenna came with us! I can't honestly tell you the last time we were all on a walk together. We walked down to the bridge and I wrote the lyrics to "I'm Only Me When I'm With You" on a piece of tape and we stuck it on the pipes by the bridge. It is my summer anthem for S.A.U.L.L. Plu it is my favorite TS song of all time. Basically we planed out a million S.A.U.L.L. adventures for this week. I am very excited. I will talk about them for sure. Today in Sacrament Meeting I had this feeling that moving to Cali will be a new adventure and I can't compare it to Hibbard or high school or anything I've known because college will be a completely new experience. I need to stay positive. I am actually excited to take the bus, go watch surfers on the beach, my classes, meeting many diverse people, exploring a new city, etc. At church Sister Goodwin said to me "Are you excited for college? Claire says it's your caling". I don't know about that, but I do know that this really is what I want to do. Sometimes I get very excited for the future, like decorating a house, having awesome kids, coming home to visit and remebering how much I love this place, my parents being grandparents, doing fun things with my husband, having dinner parties, working in my yard, planting a garden, finding a job I love, and who knows what else. The future will be great.
