we start our journey to dorothy-land in 1 week. wow. the last 5 months have flown by. things i wish i did while in phx:
1. attend theater 168 it's the place grady & i were engaged. memories.
2. eat at my favorite spots, ie: flo's kitchen, fajitas, first watch and many more.
3. spend more time just talking to friends and family
4. spend less time working
5. lay in the sun at least an hour a day (i am going to miss the sun...)
6. shop. it's so hard to find those super secret spots with great deals when you move to a new place.
7. attend a diamondback's game. i gave up sweet tickets a few times this season... sad.
8. go to the dermalogica education center and spend our savings on skin products. i could. don't try me.
9. get to know my primary class better. i loved those 6 rascals. as crazy and busy as six 6 year old boys can be after being expected to sit perfectly still for 2 hours straight, they made me laugh every week. i kinda want to come back in a few years and see what they're up to. they might just still be stripping down to complete nakedness in the bathroom. yes, that did happen.
10. spend more time with my mom. i love my mom. she is like the funniest person, but has no idea she is. she makes me smile. (full house music in the background)
as sad as i am to leave, i'm really ready to get started in st. louis. i want to walk through our apartment, furnish said apartment, attend our ward, listen eagerly while grady describes his first day of chiro school, and get a FREAKING job. (yes if you know someone in st. louis hiring, please hook a sister up...)
things i'm looking forward to in st. louis:
1. it's green there. like REALLY green.
2. i will experience spring and fall for the first time in my life.
3. going to a cardinals game. busch stadium here i come!
4. go to the butterfly house. am i a nerd?
5. open all of my stuff up!!! i miss my things. so. bad.
6. making our new apartment smell like us. you know how people's apartments/homes have specific smells? i hope ours is good. let me know if it isn't.
7. have visitors. my parents are coming in march & i'm really excited!
8. getting free adjustments at the school. grady & i really love Logan and i can't wait to go to the clinic.
9. i want to know what our callings are in our new ward. after my first experience in primary this last year, i wouldn't complain if i was put back in as a teacher- primary is the fun version of sunday school... am i right?
10. cook for myself. as great as it has been to have most every meal made for me, i'm ready to take what i've learned from my brother and put it to good use.
