Gallagher's the Name!

I am awful lately. I really should be a better journal writer/blogger. Oh well. There's always something to improve upon.

This week has been an exciting one for the Bauer family. Madison got her mission call to the California, Irvine Mission. Which, ironically, borders mine! Here's the link to the video of her opening her call. Click -------> HERE

This girl is going on a mission to IRVINE CALIFORNIA!!! And I couldn't be more proud or more happy for her! :) I'm so lucky to have her as such an amazing example to me. She's gonna be the best missionary the state of California has ever seen! :) #sisterbauerpart2 #sisterbauer #californiairvine

ALSO!

You may or may or may not have heard that I am engaged! It's true I am! And I couldn't be happier! I'm so grateful for the boy in this picture. He's sweet and service oriented. He loves me and lets me love on him. He always opens my car door and tells me I'm beautiful on the daily. I can't wait to spend eternity with my best friend!

I'm in love! I'm in love! And I don't care who knows it! #engaged #july25 #love

Well, that's about it as far as excitement goes around here. Stay tuned. But not too tuned because I don't know when I'll be back...

Utahn, Cougar, Secretary...

What do all these words have in common? Well, let me tell you. They are all words that will soon describe me!

The semester seems to be winding down here in freezing cold Rexburg Idaho. (Thank heavens) I could tell you I was sad to see this semester go, but I don't like to lie. I don't think there has ever been a semester that I have looked more forward to ending then this one. Don't get me wrong... I have had some great stuff happen this semester. I got to go to college with my sister and best friend. We got to experience a lot together, and I am grateful for that.

But...

In 2 weeks, I will head to Utah and start a new adventure. Out of Rexburg, out of BYU-Idaho, out of everything that has ever been, out of my comfort zone.

It's a little scary....

In 2 weeks, I get to be with some of my favorite people in the world, but also leaving some of my other favorite people.

In 2 weeks I will become all three of those things up there, and (hopefully) a few other adjectives too. :)

In 2 weeks, moving to Utah will no longer be something that I have "always sort of planned on", it will become a reality.

I'm grateful for opportunities that allow to me to grow. Here's to the next 2 weeks flyin' by! (but not too quickly...)

Song of the day:

Life as of Late.

Oh... Life.

It just keeps moving forward! Where does the time go?? This next month will mark me being home from my mission for 6 months. I can hardly believe that I've been home that long!

Things have been a little crazy lately... This is what I have been up to:

- School
- Work
- Applying to BYU
- Acceptance to BYU!
- Work
- School
- Looking for a new job in Provo (If you know of anything... let me know!!)
- Weekend trips to Utah
- School
- Weekend visits from Silas
- Work
- Singing in a band these days.... Don't ask.
- School
- Work
- School
- Work

And I'm sure there's stuff that I missed. Oh did I mention school and work??

Coming soon: This girl is going to BYU!!! You may all now call me a cougar. Holllllllaaaa!

I'm so excited to move to Utah. Terrified out of my mind... but excited. Somehow, I think things are going to get really good. :)

Stay tuned.
