occupy(ing) my thoughts

marriage has been on my brain as of late.

i really want to be married, but only after i...

live in italy for a year (or more) nannying/teaching english

serve a mission:) --that one is quickly approaching--

join the peace core

be taught a bollywood dance by a beautiful indian man in india

on: playing football with small children

1. they will ask for re-dos, do-overs, and rewinds when something happens that they don't like

2. all will demand that you throw the ball to them

3. pushing, shoving, and crying will occur

4. they will tell you that you suck, even though you can actually catch and throw the ball

5. you will have fun more fun than you had in a while

blah.

second guessing my major.

i just dont know what to do with myself!

(name that movie)

Little Drummer Boy

I am slightly obsessed with this song by josh groban. i looove it which is a bit funny because when I was younger I used to think it was very annoying. One day while I was listening the lyrics really stood out to me and I was just over come with emotion. I found the lyrics to be very sweet and touching. Here is this poor little boy that has nothing he can give to baby Jesus. So he plays his drums, the only thing that he could do for the Savior of the world. He shared his talent with the new baby.

Listen to it.

Absorb it.

and Think about what you would give to Jesus.

things that have been on my mind for one reason or another

whenever i take out eggs from an egg carton i have to take them out so the remaining eggs' weight is evenly distributed. for example, if i am using two eggs i will take one from the upper right hand corner and one from the lower left hand corner on the opposite side.

also this boy is rather attractive.

i meet him in italia at the GANZ (giovani adulti non sposati)

dear Sister Campbell, you are assigned to labor in....

the WEST INDIES mission

here's a map

which thankfully was included because i had no idea where the West Indies were

I am sooo excited to serve the people of the West Indies. I'll be sharing the gospel in my native tongue of English (although I hear their accents are pretty sweet and it takes a while to catch on). Whoa for warm climates and tropical rain storms!

and winner for most awkward photo of the night. haha.

but look how happy we all are.

secret time

so there have been many awesome things happening in my life, such as receiving my mission call, but i will get to that post later. it deserves more time that i have, as i am only blogging this because it's a small distraction from the massive paper i have to write in a foreign language and i think this a rather funny.

okay here is my secret. i havent showered since sunday. and here it is tuesday night...well technically wednesday morning.

when school gets busy i give up on the minute details of my life such as showering and making my hair look presentable.

will this last longer than the three almost four day span that it has come to? only my weak and tired body can determine that after i roll out of bed (if i even go to bed)

when its a choice between twenty minutes of sleep or a shower. sleep always wins.

thats all for now,
