Farewell to All!

The friday before my farewell departure, I finally decided to start the speech.  It felt pretty easy to write my talk for the most part.  Once I decided to write it, I felt like I got inspiration for the talk.  Even as I mowed the lawn, ideas for my talk kept coming to my head.  I partied with my friends for the last time saturday night.  Sunday came and I started getting pretty nervous for speech time.  I went to Jackson Carter's farewell at 9 am than went to mine right after that.  Jackson is leaving for Germany on November 17th.  Taylor Ottenbacher's farewell was the same time as mine so unfortunately I was unable to attend his.  But as I sat in the nice comfy seats, I watched as people came in.  Particularly the females:) The time came for me to get up and speak, and sure enough, Heavenly Father helped me out and I was no longer nervous.  My talk went well and lots of people told me it was entertaining.  After saying many goodbyes to my friends, I made my way to Jackson's house for his lunch in.  I said more good byes there as well.  Two o clock rolled around and my lunch in was ready, so I came on over!  There were tons of people that came over wishing me the best luck!  It was awesome talking to everyone and remenising about old times.  I said even MORE goodbyes.  It was a long day, quite stressful, but it was an awesome experience having the opportunity to speak in church and seeing so many people supporting me.  My friends and family are most definitely the best!!!

My first trip to the Temple!

I took out my endowments at the St. George temple October 8th, 2010.  It was nice having my family there supporting me.
