Once Upon a Time, I Blogged

Sometimes at night... I lay down, close my eyes and just laugh.

I think about my life right now. I think about the decisions and choices that I am making.
I think of the ridiculously impossible situations I've gotten myself into.
I think about how stinking happy I am some days and how miserable I am on other days.
I think about how I got to this point, all the little twists and turns I chose to take that lead me straight into this web. This wonderful web.

And then I fall asleep... and some nights I have the most wonderful dreams and other nights I have terrible dreams.

And then I wake up... and I go to work and I go to school.
Everywhere I go, the same questions find me.
Dozens of times a day. "Noelle, when do you leave?" "Are you so excited?" "What are you going to do?" "Is he going to wait?" "Are you registered for classes next semester?" "What if ... (fill in the blank with any and every possible scenario that could happen when you have a mission call and an amazing boyfriend)..".

I've heard it all! It doesn't bother me when people ask questions. If I knew someone in this situation, I'd be the first to ask and want to know everything too! So I understand :)

It's just unfortunate because I am never able to tell them what they want to hear! Nothing is definite right now, nothing is set in stone, everything is all kind of up in the air and at this point, it could go any way!

But when it is, and I do know what is going on "FOR SURE" in my life, I will be sure to let you know. Until then, I'm just as curious as you are :)

And since I haven't blogged in FOREVER, here's a few pictures of my recent happenings.

IT has been such a cold winter! At the beginning of the semester we had a power outage early one morning! 

After Eric won the BYU-I Slam Dunk Competition , we met up with my parents and siblings to make sushi!

We got to go to Eric's and help Madi get ready for her dance!

I have the best FHE family ever this semester!

And I work with the coolest girls.

It has been such a fun semester! A busy, complicated and confusing semester, yes... but it's been a good one :)

Almost done, 3 more weeks! We can do it!

Love, Noelle
