Alright so, in my last post I said that I don't really miss anyone from school, and I read it and felt like a huge jerk. :) It's not true. I'm just missing the whole school enviroment. But I know at the end of the week I'll be ready to go back.

So...the last week-ish has been really....weird. :) I can't think of any more potent word for it. It's just been WEIRD. I survived my first Penner Christmas last week, and it was SO much fun. I turned 19, which is strange. No one EVER talks about 19. It's always 16, 18, and 20...and then it seems to be every decade is a big deal. But never 19. Hmm. Anyway, we actually had a really goof Christmas at my house this year. Usually it's really stressful and everyone's just super tired, but this year was good. Thank goodness. Yesterday I was really sick, and then I had to sing/play in church today. It was actually really fun. Robyn was pretty nervous I think, cuz she sort of had to lead it, but I was just like YEEAH...havin so much fun. :)

I hung out with my "married" friend Ashley Budd on Friday, and it was awesome. I miss hanging out with her. It was cool though, she was bringing up all these crazy old memories of us and I had actually forgotten alot of them. She seemed to miss our talks and times, too. That's reassuring for me. I thought that I was old news, and I was kind of ok with that. :)

OH MY WORD!!! I talked to my mission rep from Sierra Leone the other day. He's at home in Virginia right now, and he just called to say hi. :) I flipped out, like FLIPPED out. It was probably the biggest surprise of my life. :) I was SOOOOO excited. He just asked me about life and school and such, and told me about some trips he'll be taking this spring. There's some really REALLY exciting stuff going on over there....it all makes me want to go back SO bad. Now I'm pretty sure that I will sometime. Just for a few weeks or something. He said that anytime I want to go back, just to let him know and he can set stuff up for me. Oh dang. That's scary, but so so so incredibly exciting. THAT idea is one thing that makes me almost burst with excitement.

Anyway, I'm out. EVANESCENCE in 15 SLEEPS!!!!! Woo hoo!!! :)
