Only 25 days left!!! I've never been more stressed in my life, and the incredible thing is... I can't even tell! I'm just so stinkin' happy and excited that my brain hasn't caught on what my body is trying to tell it; slow down!!
And after last night I am nearly ready with everything I need! Last night two of my dear friends in our ward threw me a Missionary Shower! It was just so great, and my mom was heavily involved as well. The decorations were beautiful, the food was delicious, the guests were (of course) amazing, and the gifts that people brought were perfect. Ward friends, my family, and even other friends were there! It was so fun!
And look at these cute decorations my friends' daughters made for the party! (and yeah I made the cake)
I've mentioned it before how I can never bring myself to ask for help. When these two friends told me they wanted to do this for me I asked them to tell everyone "no gifts please"... but saying that doesn't stop all the amazing people in my life from doing what they want for me ;) I'm just so blessed and grateful.
After last night, receiving donations, items and gifts I need for my mission, and just spending time to visit was so overwhelming. I came home and just cried. Ever reach that point where you just look at your life and seriously can't complain?? Because life is just SOOO good??
Humbling.
I'm such a lucky gal!
So not only do I leave in 25 days, but I'm also counting down for a couple other things....
Technically only 5 days left until Harry Potter!!! Just this past week the bestie and I caught up on the previous movie... This "fever" is really starting to rage! And I've decided that this year, since I don't have money to spend on a costume, that I'll wear my shirt from last year. And why not? IT ROCKS!
So Mission in 25...
Harry Potter in 5...
And my last day of work in one week from today. I've loved having this great job for the past several months, but I seriously need time at home to finish packing up my room, packing all my stuff, and spending time with my loved ones.
SO MANY THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO!!!
1. clarification: I did nothing to help with the "shower"...our dear friends did it all! Love them, love them, love them!
ReplyDelete2. I teared up when I saw that you said they "threw" you a Missionary Shower and not "through" you a Missionary Shower...(You know the difference and I am so proud!)
3. We have never been to or heard of a Missionary Shower so we didn't know what to expect. It was very touching to see so many people reach out to help Meg get on her way. We are truly blessed with wonderful family and friends. We had a nice visit with so many lovely people. How can you ever show how much you appreciate someone?
