I've got just over a month until I leave for England, to stay for a year at the minimum and hopefully at least three. The next 30 days should have some interesting updates as I get a little crazy with the remaining details.
SUNDAY SNIPPET
Big lesson for the day: Be prepared. Stop putting things off and scraping by at the last minute... I got a call at 8:30 asking if I would lead the music in Sacrament Meeting. My ward starts at nine, and I'd just gotten out of the shower. In an excess of zeal I agreed to help out, determined to get to church on time. I scrambled out of the house fifteen minutes earlier than usual, but still only a minute before the meeting was scheduled to start. I rushed in just as the counselor was announcing the opening song, and walked up on to the stand in time to open my hymnbook and start the song. Whew.
I REALLY have to get ready first, laze around reading or on the Internet later!

Good meetings today - the theme of Sacrament Meeting was Spiritual Priorities. The message was "Good, Better, Best": we have to stop allowing ourselves to be distracted away from the most important things, even if the other activities we choose to engage in are still good. We have more "discretionary" time than any other generation, and we will be held accountable for the uses to which we put that time. "We must not be caught up in the thick of thin things."
With about 34 days to go, I'd better take this advice to heart!
Watch out for falling turtles,

I'm so glad you're on board! I can't wait to read everything going on as you prepare for this big journey. I want to come...can I sneak into your luggage? Please! Miss you so much.
I'm pleased you're "in"! Should make for some good reading in the coming days :)
Perhaps tomorrow you can wax eloquent on the swoon-worthy nature of Richard Armitage? Just an idea.
