So I'm liking blogging again. I'm so visual- I don't like just writing out feelings cuz sometimes only a song or a picture is the only way to explain how one is feeling. So let's see... Everyone keeps asking how The "post mission" life is. For those of you that don't know- when you are on a mission you dedicate 100% of yourself to helping others. From 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. Everyday. All day. I think that is why I loved my mission so much- because I didn't worry about anything going on in my own life. I love the Chilean people so much. I honestly have never felt a love so strong. I think that was the hardest thing about coming home- was not being able to dedicate myself to something I loved so dearly. About 3 weeks after being home I had a really hard week or so. I was so emotional and literally just wanted to escape the world- jump on a plane and be back doing something I loved with all my heart. To help people accept christ in their lives was an irreplacable feeling. I know that I was sent to Concepcion, Chile for specific people- who I can't wait to reunite with again one day. Ok, I'm gonna do a post about my
Mission one day when I don't have mascara on-

Anyways, yes coming home was hard. I have always heard that missionaries are weird when they come home or just feel lost... So before I came home I told myself I would not let that happen to me. Well it was out of my control and YES it did happen to me. I felt lost for a little bit. Naturally- I am someone who cannot stand to be bored... I like to constantly be doing something, so to come home and not have every minute mapped out for me- did not work out so well. But ya know, eventually everything fell into place. Now I have a good job making good money- and I have been able to meet some new friends

dating- um not so much. We'll have to wait until the island is my home for that to be a category in my life. Honestly though, I am so ready to just be free. Not worries no attachments just the ocean and sand to keep me company.

Brittany and I were in target today and accidentally grabbed makeup without SPF in it. So brit ran 5 feet away from the register to grab the one with SPF... The women behind us started to tap her foot and get anxious after 10 seconds. What a crazy world we live in. People are just too rushed all the time. Brit and I walked away and thought- wow. Calm down world. We then had our second discussion this week about how America just needs to take a chill pill. We need to remember lifes to short to rush our lives away. Agree?
