Been a while---my bad

Hey there! It has been way to long since I graced you all with my presence. Just kidding. :) Just to catch you up--I recently graduated from Brigham Young University in Elementary Education. It was a busy busy year in student teaching. There are many mixed feelings about student teaching. It's fun but the kids don't respect you as much as when you are their actual teacher. Go figure. haha. So glad to be done with that. I thought that I would be starting a teaching job in the fall but as destiny would have it...I AM GOING ON A MISSION. Most of you already knew this but oh well. :) I got my call a few weeks ago to Costa Rica. I know--me...a white skinned, freckle faced, red headed girl going to exotic Costa Rica populated by tan people (at least darker than myself which isn't actually that difficult). I've been asking over and over again how I was blessed with this call. I can't even wait! But I'm kind of nervous about the cockroaches and other visitors I will share my apartment with. Yikes!

So anywho--this is turning into my missionary blog July 11 (after I leave). Hope you all will enjoy hearing of my crazy adventures in Costa Rica. I am beyond excited to serve the people in this area. Right now, I am studying up on the gospel trying to prepare myself for the things that I will face. So much to do in such little time. Better get started!
