Pre-Mish Memories

 I'm sure you all understand that I haven't been blogging lately.  Life has been insane/ stressful/ difficult/ and challenging (to say the least).  I am leaving on my mission next Wednesday! My life purpose right now is make it through my critical to-do list before the clock runs out!

Buuut... even though this last month has been difficult, I don't want to forget some of the awesome memories I've made. 

Such as fitting completely inside my mission suitcase. (don't underestimate how proud I was to do this)  (little known fact: I am flexible enough to be in a circus).

  

Receiving this picture from Momma Jarvis.  Zach and Kirsi are some of my favorite peeps for sure.

 

Sweltering in this blissful Las Vegas heat.  But really I enjoy it.

 

What is a family vacation without a family nap??  So tender.

 

Oh yeah.. we went to California to visit my sister for 5 days.  It was freezing cold at the beach every single day.  So everyday, I had a different frozen beach ensemble. So glam.

 

Session in the Newport Beach temple... SO PRETTY.

 

The family Olympics were a night to remember. If only I had time to blog about this epic evening in detail.  I'll just leave you with this: it was amazing.  We had our own parade of nations and the Queen of England even made an appearance. 

 

Last but not least:  I ended up with 8 pairs of mission shoes.  Packing for a mission is a very, very difficult thing.  But I will persevere!  Because I am super vain and want to be an attractive sister missionary.  BUT REALLY.

Hopefully I will blog one last time before I depart!  Thank you to everyone who has read and commented on Happily Ever Now!  I can't believe I started blogging exactly 2 years ago this month.  I love, love, love to write.  If I had more time/ more free brain cells I would write something witty and sentimental.  Instead I will just say: love you all!  Peace to ma' homies.
