Music More

So I know that I've mentioned the song The Lightning Strike by Snow Patrol. Well, Jeremiah made me the whole album, One Hundred Million Suns.
It is bloody brilliant.
I used to think that I didn't like Snow Patrol. You know what I based my entire opinion on? The song Chasing Cars, which plays like 8 billion times a day on the radio. So that was annoying.
But then, junior year, Blake made me a mix that had a Snow Patrol song on it called You're All I Have. That song is brill.
And now, with this album Jeremiah made me, I am in heaven. Their lyrics are just so great! It makes me super happy. You know you've got great music when you can just drive around happy.
In other news: the gas light in my car is on. BUT I received my paycheck today! Those two work hand in hand.

Convo

Caitlyn: Grape jelly is the essence of happiness.
Blake: Especially when spread across the delicious warm landscape of a piece of toast.

Musings

My need for independence is locked in a constant struggle with my fear of isolation.

2 Weeks and 6 Days!

So I got a letter the other night, from BELGIUM!! It was from my mission president and his wife, President and Sister Brubaker.
HOW COOL!!
Guys, there is a mission blog!! www.belgiumbrusselsnetherlandsmission.blogspot.com. I went there, and who should I see but a gal from EAC!! I slightly knew her in my first year at Thatcher!!
And there were tons of pictures of the sister's training meeting, and I just got SO EXCITED, because soon I will be with those girls! And they're all so happy and bright and smiling! And I'm going to be with them!
Oh, I cannot express how HAPPY and excited I am!!
I AM GOING TO THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!!!!!!
And I love life.

November

Once upon a time, I realized that it is THREE WEEKS UNTIL I LEAVE SHOW LOW FOR THE PROVO MTC!!!!!! I don't report until three weeks from Wednesday, but I am leaving my hometown of Show Low on Monday the 29th of November with my grandparents. They are taking me to their home of Castle Dale, Utah, which I absolutely LOVE! I will stay there with them until Wednesday when I go to Provo Town U.S.A.!
It's going to be SO GREAT!!!!
In other news: I have run out of Whale crackers here at work. I have a chronic case of SNACKING, so you can imagine that I am going a little bit bonkers. Also. For some reason, my office snack choices have an ocean theme? Which I didn't even realize until one day I was eating Whale crackers and Swedish Fish candy.
My fingernails are bright hot pink magenta fuchsia today.

Kissing

Just because you really enjoy kissing someone doesn't mean that is a valid reason to marry them.
Carleigh and I were talking about this, and I said that sentence to her, and she said, "Wait! I'm going to have to kiss that person for the rest of my life! And beyond! I think I would prefer to enjoy it."
Granted.
So let me rephrase that. Deciding to marry someone SOLELY because they are a great kisser is COMPLETELY BONKERS!!
Don't do it.
This has been a public service announcement, brought to you by the Stop Stupid Marital Decisions Association of America (aka The SSMDAOA.) (Also. That may or may not be a real Association. . . .)

Word

So hey! One month til I leave on the mish!
WOO!!
My friend Jeremiah is going to the Czech Prague mission and he is leaving about three weeks after me. I've been helping him with a lot of the stuff, like FBI clearance and passport things. We are mission buddies and we are SO SO EXCITED!!
Also my friend Karen Wooten from St. David that I met at EAC is reporting to the MTC on the same day as me! Isn't that great?!
My fingernails are painted a color that I like to call Mermaid.
