Up to Date.

I haven't posted in forever but it feels like there is nothing to say. Here goes nothin'.

I am finding that I am more often than not sleepy as all get out. This is the case right now.

Life is challenging right now. Matt is leaving. The mission papers are not happening (rather, they are happening so slowly that no one, even myself, seems to notice). School is taxing. However, life is going well enough. I am happy, and that is good.

My cousin Reed got home from his mission in Nicaragua last Friday. I love that kid so much. He is so rad. I've hung out with him a couple of times and we haven't really done anything all that great, but it's still super fun nonetheless. I can't really understand a lot of what he has to say because he still speaks English like Nicaraguans (or Spanish speakers in general) speak Spanish. It's funny.

My trip to Atlanta was SO FUN. We (Matt, Kelly, Karen, and I) saw Jonezetta, Meg & Dia, Bayside, and Anberlin. Bayside wasn't that great, but the other bands were SO AWESOME. I had such a good time. The drives there and back were super fun. I love those kids.

School is almost out and this is very exciting. I have some huge plans for the summer. In May, I'm going to Birmingham to see my friend Rebecca and also this band, Animal Collective. In June I am going to Las Vegas then to Salt Lake City to see Matt. And then in either June or July I am going to see Chelsea Dodd. She's the coolest girl I know.

My mission will hopefully happen at the first of July. If not, I am cool to leave, at the latest, at the first of August. But, like I've said, this process is all going very slowly.

I am overwhelmingly excited to go on a mission.
