I must be bad at this

So I haven't posted for... a while. Life has been pretty crazy! After visiting Katie mom and I headed to Florida to stay with dad. He ended up being extended to the 15th of October, so we were there longer than expected. We had a lot of fun though. Jonathan came to visit us for the first week and we went to Busch Gardens and Disney World. Then Jeremy visited and we took him to Downtown Disney since it was TOO MUCH to visit the Parks.
After they left I started to get used to life (but never used to the heat) mom and I went exploring around Tampa. We really enjoyed staying there, but it is nice to FINALLY be home! The ward members in Tampa were sad to see us go, but it was time to go. Looking back I think that Tampa was a good thing for the family. Mom was able to get medical help, and dad was able to help out a ward and I was able to have a Bishop and Stake President that would help me with my mission paperwork.
Now, as far as my mission paperwork is concerned it's all on hold. I've already done everything I can do. We have to wait for the First presidency to OK my application and then submit it. Apparently we don't even know if the Stake Pres has informed the 1st presidency or not... Sooooooo that's just complicated in and of itself. So now I am at home, probably going to go work, and if I don't get a call until the end of the year I might go back to school for a semester.
I also think that there are other reasons why my paperwork is not going through. I did get the impression that I needed to do my paperwork right away, and I did. But now, it's all just in La La land (as I feel) and I'm still just going and doing what i gotta do. So now I am wondering if Heavenly father is giving me a chance for something other than a mission.
I'll have to put more later and catch up, especially since I just had my 21st birthday!!

Don't leave me hanging! Write more!
Love you!
P.S. I don't write as often on my blog as I'd like to either, but I'm getting better.
