Home: Orem vs. Logan

I love Orem, spending time with my friends and family has been so amazing this last couple of weeks. It's been great to say "hi" to people I used to see all the time, I really feel like I've learned so much form my experiences while I've been up in Logan, but it's great to come back and see everyone... now I just am little torn: where do I call home--Orem or Logan? To me, they really both feel like home. I have so many friends and experiences in both places that I really feel at home in both. I have a wonderful ward, roommates, and I've made so many friends at my Logan home; but it's great to see my brothers, parents, high school and Stake Single's Ward friends when I come home to Orem.

I guess home to me is really just wherever I lay my head down at night. I really am home in both places.

Thank you Orem and Logan friends and family who've helped me feel at home wherever I am.

Future Missionary!

I have always wanted to be a missionary, and have been rather jealous of my guy friends who can start turning in mission papers, getting calls and leaving on missions right now because I have to wait until I'm 21. However, I recently realized how crazy and practically nonexistent my sleeping schedule was, so as an effort to fix that, I decided that I would begin a modified missionary schedule last night/this morning. It is:

7:00- wake up, get ready
7:30- scripture study and breakfast
8:00- Job hunting (although, I might have an interview in the next couple of days, so I'm not so sure how long this will last.)
8:15- Exercise (No I haven't gained the Freshman 15, but I am a little flabbier than i used to, and would like to be. Besides, missions require a lot of walking and being physically fit would be a wise direction to head to.)
8:45- Leave for day. (This starts next semester, since this semester my earliest class starts at 8:30. Right now I leave at about 8:20 since my class is just across the street.)
-----------Classes, homework and (hopefully) work------------
10:00- Return home, scripture study, ect
11:00- Bedtime/Lights out

Now, I'm telling people this, partly because I'm way excited for the prospect of eventually serving a mission, but also because I know I'll be all for it and dedicated for a while, but normally I get to a point when I loose my motivation. That's where I would LOVE your help. If you ever think of it, you should email, text or call me to see how I'm doing. If you can, that would be wonderful. if not, I understand. Just thought I's ask. :)

Anyway, I wish everyone luck on finals as they come up, and I hope you have a great Break, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
