Another Bites The Dust...

Tears are comin' out of my face...excuse me. Happy/sad/jealous tears of course (I'm confused with my emotions).


The girl next to me, Bethany Cluff, is leaving on her mission tomorrow. 18 months of teaching the Gospel to the people in Antofagasta, Chile.

Words cannot describe how amazing she is. I have known her since I was in 8th grade and we have grown a strong bond together. Bethany has taught me how to love life and to laugh no matter what happens. She integrity SHINES and her virtues shines even brighter. She is so stinkin' strong and her testimony has strengthened mine. I look up to her and she has never let me down. Did I mention how freaking HILARIOUS she is? She ALWAYS puts a smile on my face no matter WHAT. Bethany is also an INCREDIBLY hard worker - she never gives up.






Bethany, you are going to do WONDERS in Chile. The people there are so blessed to have you and all of us Mesa People are SO proud of you! Love you Bethany!

Don't worry, I'm alive.

To celebrate one more final, I will post what has been happening in my life.

Absolutely nothing. That is why I haven't posted! School has eaten me up and is about to spit me back out after this last final on Thursday. My social life? yeah. I don't have one.

Well...I guess there has been stuff happening.

Remember good ol' Todd?

This fool is leaving TOMORROW to serve a 2 year mission in SOUTH KOREA.  I have known him (and his smolder) since 7th-8th grade-ish and I am SO proud of him. He is truly going to bless the people of South Korea. His farewell talk was absolutely powerful and was another confirmation of how much I love the Gospel. I love the way my life is set out and the many things Heavenly Father has ready for me.

Go get 'em Todd! We're all proud of you!
