Jackson, Mississippi!!

Jackson, Mississippi you ask?

That is where I will be spending the next 18 month of my life starting May 25.

I am so excited to be serving and LDS mission. 

I decided a while ago but it was a pretty well kept secret.

I had specific reason. However I am so happy for it to be out now.

I also get the question a lot of why I am going and why now.

Well I am 21 of course. And no I am not going because I am not married because 

I do not ever want to get married. I like my freedom. 

I know it is the right choice for me and as soon as I made the decision my life just seemed to fall 

into place and I knew it was right.

Idaho.

I went to Idaho (Pocatello) last Friday and Saturday..

Most of my family lives there and I was born there.

I hadn't been back in three years! Kind of a long time to visit your home.

It was so much fun. I went to dinner with my cousin Taryn and we caught up on everything.

It was soo good. After that I went to my aunt Pattie's house for dessert for my grandmas 80th birthday, 

and to look at pictures of the Hardings through the ages. Lots of laughs and jokes.

The next day was the annual Harding Family Easter Egg Hunt.

You see when we were younger Grandma made an easter egg hunt every year in their hugee backyard. We always got to find about 10-15 eggs each plus a big special one with our names on it and a dollar in it (best thing ever!) This year I actually got to help hide the eggs and boy did I hide them hard. There are only a couple really young grand children now so they had a blast finding it and I am happy I could partake of the tradition.

Idaho bound.

Tomorrow I am off to Idaho to see all my family.

I haven't been there in more then 3 years.

It is also my grandma's 80th birthday. 

San Francisco!!

Because Terry is the head of the school board (ok even when he wasn't) 

they go to a conference every year in April.

 Usually we (Meghan, mom, and I) go with him. We have been to 

California, Florida and other places for it. This year it was in 

San Francisco. I had never been and I am so happy I got to go this time. 

It is such a wonderful place full of culture and history. 

We had such a fun time.

We flew in Friday night and went straight to the hotel. 

We woke up early Saturday morning and walked to China town. 

It was such a fun place, full of little shops selling all sorts of stuff for super cheap. 

I bought tons of junk (ok not junk but stuff I really did not need) like bracelets and chopsticks and fun little things like that. We got to eat lunch in an authentic little

Chinese restaurant too. We rode a trolley back into downtown and did a little

shopping (H&M!!!) That night Terry joined us while we went and explored pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf. 

We got to eat at Bubba Gump's. Soo good. We had fun exploring all around the pier and watched the 

sea lions and lots of other things. 

Sunday we woke up and went to church.

Haha we always go to church while on vacation but we see a lot of different people. 

Then we went back to the pier and to the Hard Rock Cafe, and explored a little more. We went to the wax museum too which was also pretty sweet. 

Then back to the hotel for rest. After T and D went to dinner with the rest of the group. 

M and I went on an epic adventure around the pier and mastered the trolley system 

while looking for alcatraz tours and dinner. We ended up eating at a place close to our hotel 

and waiting for the rents to come back to the hotel. 

Monday we went back to the pier to see alcatraz tours 

and there were no tours for the time we could go so that kinda sucked. But thats ok, we got

to do soo much stuff anyway. We also went back to china town before we had to leave to catch our plane home. Over all it was such a good trip and I am so happy with it...

Next up... New York CITY!!!

 T, me, and M in front of Alcatraz

 T and I walked down to the bay bridge (about 3/4 miles from our hotel)

and around by the other piers and by the Trans America building. Seriously one of the coolest buildings I have ever seen.

 China Town!!

 The trolley ride

 Alcatraz

 Lady Gaga made from all candy

100th post! and the end to an era.

Harry Potter is my life. I love it almost more then anything in the world. 

It is amazing.

I am so sad that I won't be able to watch it July 15. 

But I know I will survive. It will all be ok.

It's moving day, It's moving day

Ok lies. It is really not. But soon. 

It's not a secret. I do not care who knows. 

I have a good reason as to why I am moving home. 

I am also going back to the theatre  which is no secret at all. I don't care who knows.

 I am not super happy about it, but

it won't be for very long. 

And it will be nice to make some extra money. 

The end.
