Here it goes...

I am sitting on my couch. Its 11:42. I just worked a 3:30-9:30 shift at CoalVines. $120. Not bad. Anything helps when your moving to hawaii. Today was a good day. Brit and I went to the Gym. We "trained" each other. We normally don't go to the gym together or we will just laugh the whole time and get NOTHING done. We did squats across the gym with weights...Each squat step we named something we're looking forward to. " Hawaii, Palmtrees, OCEAN, sand, toes, blonde, love, fruit, ....and several other things I won't mention." 50 squats later...we were ready to get on a plane and head on out.  I don't really know why I am going to hawaii other than cause its hawaii. When I was on my mission, I decided I was going to stay home and work... see what happens when Elder Murray gets home from his mission...and take life as it comes. But when I came home, My sister did some begging and I finally cracked. So now... I need to make a few more thousand dollars in the next couple weeks and i'll be set. Wow. it's been an emotional roller coaster lately. Lots of crazy things have been happening and sometimes I just wish I could be a little kid again when the trouble of the day was that my mom didnt give me an extra 75 cents to get an icecream bar for lunch. Those were the good ol' days. My life as a child was soccer, pizza, and my karaoke machine. I would make tapes of me singing, thanking all my fans and my inspiration "dixie chicks" haha. I always wanted to grow up...and now Im turning 23 (still young) but just life just happened...so fast. I want to do it all. But more than ever Iv realized that we have to remember what is important sometimes. If there is anything I learned from 18 months of serving a mission-it's that We have a special purpose here on earth. And that is to prepare to return with our Father in Heaven again. It's so easy to get caught up in the world. I find myself lost in it sometimes. But I know with all my heart that we are here for a special purpose and it's up to us to live it.
