WHERE the heck am I going!?!?

I am patiently waiting for my call to arrive. I'm getting more and more nervous + excited the longer it takes.  I just cannot wait to find out No 1. WHERE I am going & No 2. WHEN I am going.

Everyday I am asked 2 questions No 1. Have I got my call & No 2. Where do I want to go..

My answers are generally the same, No 1. Not yet.. & No 2. Anywhere there are people. I am soo excited to get out there and teach and there are places that I think I would love more than others, but in general I just want to go on a Mission. There is nowhere that I DONT want to go to and that makes me happy because I won't be disappointed with any call I receive. Call me to Wellington (I would actually really really love that), call me anywhere, CALL ME!! and I am happy. I'm going on a Mission, not on an OE or a Holiday, I have a work to do and that can be done all over the world. How exciting is that?! I have a call to somewhere in this wide wide world, its floating around in some post office just waiting to be delivered to me haha. And I am waiting.

That is all, I cant wait :D

eeeeeeekjsdoifus;odifjs;odirfuwes;oidfkj;soeirkjfs;oeiruf--(thats an excited squeal if you didn't know, couldn't quite translate it to my fingers haha)

Its OFFICIAL: well, almost

Finished everything on the checklist, had my interviews and now my papers are officially in :D

Right now I think they are sitting at the Area Office waiting to be checked and sent off to Salt Lake where the awesomeness goes down. Next week one of the 1st Presidency or Quorum of the 12 will sit in a room with two screens and a couple of other people. On one screen they bring up the missions that need sisters, and on the other screen they will bring up MY photo + some information from my application (like the fact that I want to learn a language + Bishop & Stake Pres comments and anything else they think is important).

Once the decision is made they will issue me my call in the form of a letter in the mail (How happy am I gonna be when that comes!!!) and it will take approx 9 days from when they send it till I receive it. The estimate is Wednesday 27th of April which just so happens to be my friend Celines birthday (She is also preparing for a mission and put her papers in the same day as me. So thats gonna be extra awesome for her)

I AM SOO EXCITED!!!!

I love lists, so here is a list of things I am looking forward to (in regards to my call)...

1. Becoming best friends with the postie
2. Making my facebook status "is currently in possession of a large white envelope"
3. Going crazy waiting for my family to come home so I can open said envelope
4. Finding out where Heavenly Father wants me to serve
5. Having a cry
6. Telling everyone where I will be serving
7. Having another cry
8. Accepting my call and learning everything I can about where I am going

I don't know why I didn't do this earlier (go on a mission I mean), I am so happy and excited and cannot wait! Oooo I need a 'Things I'm not looking forward to' list.

Ok here it is. Thing I'm NOT looking forward to...

1. Having someone other than Auntie Paula and Uncle Ian as my teachers for Mission Prep :( seriously so sad about that one but really happy for them and Uncle's new calling.

.... yep thats it

High Tea with the WTHI ladies

Another post I found in my Drafts lol. Christmas last year the lovely ladies who photograph with 'Where the heart is Photography' went on a date to 'The Lily-pad'. It was super cute, we dressed up and everything!

Anyway, what kind of photographers are we if we don't take photos..

Happy Highlights

I found this post in my Drafts list. I wrote it at 12.31am on my birthday so that I could remember everything. It worked coz I had forgotten about all of this sooo... Enjooyy...

• Stuffing my belly with Enchiladas for my Birthday dinner on Sunday (then eating the leftovers for breakfast on monday)
• ROTFLOL-ing with Tania just before the clock struck 12
• McD's epic fail with their broken icecream + sunday machine
• Driving down the mile at 23kph (not gonna lie It, Was,Scary!!!)
• Getting birthday txts + fb messages + voicemails right on midnight :D

Nawww, what a Happy Day.

Enchiladas & Do-Rags

I come home late-ish one Sunday towards the end of February and smelt something delicious. It had been a long time since I had smelt that smell and Oh. My. Gooness I was excited. Twas the smell of Enchiladas.

Now, enchiladas being consumed at my house means only one thing, mine or Carls birthday. I checked the calendar and yup my birthday!!! Que more excitement and a Happy Enchilada dance (the same as a Happy dance, but about enchiladas) and my birthday celebrations began.

Tuesday me and Tania spent the day at the beach after a semi-successful shopping trip at Tay-Awa. We then hurried home to get ready for a night with the Girls at Iguana.

Twas an epically funny night with some of my Favourite people ever! We even had a surprise toast from Jeans "Body-Guard" aka Yi-Han followed by some delectable cake provided by the good people at Iguanas (and Tania).

Then it was time for photos and spontaneous acts of madness that involved a pair of granny undies...

I love my friends!! Makes me a little sad knowing that the next time we all get together will be at my farewell party in August, but its nice to know that there will actually be people there haha.

23 is deffo up there with my fave birthdays ever!

De-lish

I love my Mummy! Isn't she so cute hehe. Once upon a time, Mum + Me + Tania all managed to have a day off at the same time, so mummy dearest took us on a date to the DELICIOUS Sierra Cafe. 

It was ridiculously nice to have a Gurl Date, and after spending some time talking, partaking of fantastic food, and having a short rest from the hustle and bustle of life...

...we found an innocent passer by to take a photo of us and our date was complete :D

Tha End...or is it?...dum dum duuuuummm

p.s I know I'm short in this photo, we were on a hill!! 

We match!!

Last month I taught my last lesson as a member of the Relief Society board. I loved my calling as the 4th sunday "Teaching for our time" teacher, but our awesome bishopric (and Heavenly Father) had bigger and better plans for me. 


Change is good and when Bishop said he had just released our RS pres I got all excited cos I knew what was coming next.. 


And yay it did! I'm sooper happy to be called as the 2nd counsellor in the RS pres. I still have the opportunity to teach sometimes, but now I look after the teachers + do other awesome things. I ACTUALLY feel really special haha, and the rest of the RS pres is awesome so we have alot of fun on the way!!!


In other news, after my 'personal space invasion' aka 'physical' done by the doctors, I had to get a blood test. I came home to show off my awesome cotton bud aaand....

haha shame, we matched.
