Well, Mom called Tanner Clinic yesterday to make sure they had sent my medical forms in the mail. They said they were going to do it that day. So the Bishop should be getting it in the mail today, and he will (hopefully) give them to the Stake President tonight. And my mission papers will be SENT IN!!! They review mission papers on Thursday, I could potentially have a call next Wednesday. Holy Toledo!
So, my question is... HOW DID I GET HERE?! It's kind of a surreal moment. Ever since I can remember. At least 16 years ago, I wanted to be 21. I wanted to serve a mission. (I lost focus there for a few months, but now I am back on track.) But I have still always wanted to serve. During the Christmas break last year, I was filling out my papers. It hadn't hit me then; what I was doing and how real and how close it was. Now that they are done, and almost on their way in... I look back on my life and continue to wonder how those last 16 years just flew on by. If 16 years went by quickly, I am going to blink and my 18 months as a missionary will over.
I was talking to a friend yesterday and I told her I have felt like I was 21 for a long time. And now that I am actually hitting that age (in three months) it doesn't feel any different to me. Weird? Yeah, I know. Sheesh, when did I grow up?
I wonder the same thing sometimes.. when did I grow up? It's crazy how time flies. 18 months will be gone in no time.
