last day.

today was my last day
(well, technically second last day, it's my second time quitting)
at primrose.
i had to say goodbye to all of my amazing coworkers,
and blow kisses for the last time to my sweet one year olds.
and yes, i cried.

as one of my little girls said "anne, i wuv vu."
or as one of my little boys begged at my legs for one last airplane ride
i couldn't help but feel grateful for the time that i have been able to spend with these amazing little kids.
i have learned so much about myself through teaching these little ones, and i wouldn't give those things up for the world.
but mostly, i learned how much love i had for those little crazies.
how even after they bit me, or threw their sippy cup on the ground or just did exactly what they knew they weren't supposed to
i still loved 'em.
and it made me think that if i loved those kids that much,
how much am i gonna love my own little crazies?
watch out, future kiddos.
lotsa love comin' your way.

lately:

-so i just passed the fourteen month mark, which means ten months left to go. last december i had to get a ride down to salt lake from rexburg, so i got a ride from the girl that seemed the nicest on the ride board. turns out this girl was also waiting for a missionary. i asked her how long she had until her missionary was home and she told me ten months. i remember thinking "TEN MONTHS?? are you kidding me??? i will never ever ever get there. augh." and look at me now. getting there. pat yourself on the back, self.
pat yourself on the back too, elder.


-gettin' those stupid tonsils out in like 4 days. heyo.

-finally got warm bodies from redbox after all the hype. super cute, hilariously funny, heartwarming but OH MY HEAVENS. i thought i was going to die. so jeffin' scary. i had my eyes closed and hid my face in my unicorn pillowpet for a good portion of that movie.

-while shopping with my mom tonight a lady came up to us and said "i know you guys are in shape, but here are some weight loss techniques!" and handed us cards that told us how to lose weight. uh... what?

and uh... that's about it.
