Wow... its almost here

2010 that is...

Its actually going to be

an amazing year!

Why? I will tell you.

My placement at Blackpool Zoo starts in June

My boyfriend comes home in August

and because I've decided to make it good.

And thats mostly what matters

wouldn't you agree?

;)

Snow?

You call that snow? Hehe!
It is very pretty though... when you're not out in it :)

I'm off to the Peak District today to see some real snow!

Arghhh!

Life is stressful at the moment!! *sigh*

This is when I realise why my parents always said to me, as I held their hand and looked up at them and said "I wanna be a grown-up" and they replied "no you don't Chrissie, not yet".

How I long for childhood innocence right now. No worries. Yes, that would be very nice thanks. I know whats on the top of my Christmas list :) Anyone have a time machine?

Names

The Missionaries came over today. To start the 'Ask in Faith' challenge thing with us. We went through a list to try and think of some names. I felt bad because we weren't really coming up with many. I had some written down already which I mentioned but for example, when they asked for childhood friends, although I have loads - my mind went blank! Argh, I hate it when that happens. But I'm excited to start the challenge. Missionary work is one of the best ways I can grow closer to my Father in Heaven and my Saviour Jesus Christ.

Oh, I've got the Christmas package for Elder Roberts sorted! :) In it is:

A 'pass-the-parcel' with a sweet and note with a Scripture reference in each layer, until the middle there is two packs of skittles - his favourite food! Ha, if you can call it food :P

A couple of mini crackers to pull with his companion.

Photos of House Christmas!

A tape - with an extra bit of recording for him to listen to on Christmas Day to just wish him a Happy Christmas basically :)

A card - of course! Its Christmas... duh :P

His '23rd December' letter - since his year mark, I have sent him a letter to be opened on the 23rd of each month, which is out anniversary date ;) - and so I've written about my memories when we first started to get to know each other for his December one :)

Lots of tinsel! To fill the box ;) and make it pretty of course hehe.

Something Profound

So, I wanted to start my blog with something that would make people think... not having much luck with that ;) C'mon Chrissie think.

OK, this is what I've come up with. Its a random quote from the book called 'The book of Wisdom, Rhymes and Wizardry' which arrived in the post this morning from the LDS bookstore (yes, I have bought myself a Christmas present :])

'Don't get discouraged; it is often the last key in the bunch opens the lock.'

I just felt like that was a good quote to start my blog off. I'm sure you will now look forward to reading my exciting adventures of life! :)
