This has been a whirlwind week

This has been such a whirlwind week....it's not even funny!!

Sunday afternoon-Mom and I left for Vancouver, Washington because my brother and sister in law we're going to Scout Camp, and Girls Camp and their oldest daughter Madeline wanted to go with her friends instead of going up a day early with her mom. So we went and stayed with them Sunday-Tuesday morning. On Monday we took Chloe (Jeff & Sheri's youngest who's 6) and Madeline with us to go shopping in Oregon no sales tax, yay!! so we could do missionary clothes shopping. I got 3 skirts, for under $100.00 (well it was $99.97 but it was still UNDER $100.00), some shoes. We had fun just having a girl shopping day!

Tuesday-We dropped Madeline off at their stake center to meet with her friends to go to Girls Camp, then mom, Chloe, & I made the 3½ hour trip back to Lynnwood. We stopped in the Outlet malls just south of Olympia to do a little more shopping and I got a bunch of tops for my mission. We got home about 11:30ish and I had a working job interview (go figure right) at 3:00-4:30. at a Veterinary Hospital. During that time mom had picked up all the kids from daycare so they could play together. Then mom picked me up after my interview and I came home and changed to go to the temple with my ward to do sealings. After that I went to Dairy Queen with Brandon and Renae and I got home about 10:30.

Wednesday-I had a eye appointment at Wal-Mart because I needed new contacts. While I was in my appointment mom, & Chloe did some shopping around Wal-Mart and got some things they needed and some last minute things I would need for on my mission. Then after that we got mom's oil changed for the drive down to California. The we picked up Hannah & Isabella so they could play with Chloe one last time. Then after dinner we took Isabella and Hannah home so mom could make sure Lilly & Adrian had everything they need for the trip to California. Then we brought them home to spend the night so they could leave early this morning for California.

Today-My parents left for California so I said my goodbyes to them as well as Adrian, Lilly, and Chloe. Today I've just been organizing everything I'll be needing to take on my mission. Then I have a birthday party to go to tonight. I'm hanging out with Elyse for awhile tomorrow (since I wanted to spend one last time with her before I leave)

This has been a hard & stressful week but it's been fun being able to spend time with Chloe, and Madeline. And getting to have time with my mom just the two of us before I go.
