excited/nervous.

I have many mixed feelings going on in my head right now. I am so so excited to leave and just dive into the chinese culture and take it all in. On the other hand,  I can't help but think of all of things I love about the next four months that I will miss in the US of A. 

Miss it:

-September warm nights in Provo.

-Starting in a new singles ward in a new place.

-Fall classes.

-Baby Isla being born.

-Crunchy leaves.

-Pumpkin pie.

-Halloween candy/dances/costumes/music.

-October General Conference in the comfort of my parents house.

-New Moon movie release. 

-A good friend of mine's missionary homecoming. 

-Christmas Tree festival at South Town.

-Pumpkin picking.

Excited about:

-The Great Wall.

-Trying fried starfish.

-Meeting my cute little kids!!

-All the new friends I am going to make.

-The crazy stories I will have to post about.
