Oh my goodness! Days this summer have just flown by! It is kind of scary and crazy and exciting all at the same time! I am getting very excited for my end of summer trip with a couple of my friends to Disneyland!! But even before then some great things will be happening :) I expect to get my mission call sometime next week, which will let me know where I will be going, and when I can expect to be leaving. I am very excited and ready for this news. "There are Pins and needles I am sitting on" (NAME THE MOVIE) haha I will be sure and let the world know where I am called to serve as soon as I am aware :)
Life is so difficult sometimes and it makes for a lot of hard decision making. I have been thinking and praying alot to know if I should go to school this fall, or just stay home and prepare for my mission and be with my family. It has been very difficult and a long process. I have talked to a number of people for guidance and added direction. Thus I have come to the decision to stay home this fall and prepare for my mission. It will be a challenge in itself, I know. In fact, it already has been. It was so hard for me to tell my friends that I love SO much that I wont be rooming with them this next year. I know they love and support me, but for some reason I had this great feeling that I was lettin them down in someway, because me not going will deprive them of all of the great times that we wanted to have. I know that they will have fantastic times without me, and I will be sure that some of those will include me, but It is still difficult. I hope that they are ok with it and realize just how hard it is for me. I know that I will be doing the right thing and soon enough I will know that it is very important for me to follow through, Heavenly Father doesn't give us directions for naught, there is always a reason we just have to allow time to figure those reasons out sometimes.
Anywho, Ah this summer has gone by quickly, and lots has changed and much will continue to come up I am sure.. But such is life, I just have to learn to enjoy the ride and continue in faith :)
Random thought/question: What is the best thing to do when you cannot sleep at night? For some reason the last few days I just have struggled to get to sleep at night and sleep through the night. Any suggestions on what it is that I should do to get better sleep at night?

Lazy=Yesterday, Ambitious=Today
On my roommate Blog my friend recently posted a little bit on how she misses her old self, her motivated and driven self. As I read her post I found that I could relate to it much easier than I'd like to admit. I find that I sometimes feel as though I have nothing to push forward to either, no ambition to get off my lazy behind and getting going on some days. Today is the day that I leave that Chelsea behind.
Since my last post a something has occurred in my anything-but-typical life. First of all I have started on my Mission papers. I am going to serve a mission for my church! It makes me very excited to think that I can be a power and a force for good in a place somewhere out there that the Lords see's the need for me to be. Want to know more about what a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? click on the following link: http://www.lds.org/service/missionary-service?lang=eng
Anywho, so yes, I have taken some initiative and moved my life in some sort of direction. In fact, in a direction that I believe will be quite rewarding :) I am very excited and plan on keeping my blog updated on whatever turns my life takes next. Today I am sitting down and redefining some goals that I have for myself. They are personal but I know that they will benefit all that I come in contact with. Physical, spiritual, and mental goals that I feel will help me jump up out of this rut and take charge of my life. I have always known I am an independent person, and I can feel it full force while I am in Utah away from home and surrounded by competition and a fast paced lifestyle. Here in Washington I want to feel that same ambition and compete against myself to become stronger and closer to the woman that I want to be :)
Random thought: today I am thinking of cutting my hair. I have been trying to grow it out the last 8 months, since cutting 10 inches off. I dont want to cut my hair short, just give it some life, maybe a few layers, something fun to keep my hair exciting as I continue to grow it out. We shall see, I am a little nervous because my main goal is to just get my long hair back-- I don't want that to be ruined by someone cutting it shorter than I ask. Ah we shall see... Wish me luck! haha
