22 days are gonna fly!!

Life update: Its freakin October already!! That means a few things of note in the life of Hayley Jensen:

First off, Happy birth to my mother Kathleen, a dainty 25 years old. I love you Mama, my best friend, the one I will miss the most while in Germany hands down. Happy birth also to my Benjamin. I adore you. You and your guitar have brought so much joy to my life. Oh, and happy day to my eldest brother Nathan- I love you even if you are brilliant (for which I hate you... a little).

Happy halloween to one and all. I ran out of costume ideas about ten years ago so I am glad for the excuse that I will be in the MTC that night.

Speaking of MTC: 3 weeks is on kids! Is it just me or does that sound crazy? It totally hasnt hit me, but when it does I will probably have a melt down. I keep trying to wear my really crappy jeans, hang out alone alot and do things I will otherwise be banned from come the 22, but I will be honest with you... I kind of just want to leave. Ha! Sure I will miss life and freedom and men and Dr. Pepper, holy jeans and my Vans. But well... cant wait to go!!

Other October Gems:

The leaves changing colors!!

I dont know if it is awesome everywhere. but in Utah, fall is quiet possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. So much red, yellow and orange it burns your eyes! The cool air is just perfect for nice hikes up the canyon and lets face it, hoodie weather anyone??

General Conference:

This weekend its conference- thats like the Grammys of the Mormon Church. The Prophet and all the apostles in one room for 2 days- a cornicopia of spiritual awesomeness and divine guidance. If you have never done the challenge, DO IT.
The Challenge: before conference carefully think about and jot down some questions, any really, about life, doctrine, whatever and IT WILL BE ANSWERED. GUARANTEED.
I have done this every session for about 5 years now and it has yet to fail.... plus it helps you listen better. Cant wait. Love it. NeXt....

Aggie Football:

Why would I ever consider this a gem you ask? Well, clearly, the team is NOT a gem, but being in Romney, eating a snowie, singing the "Scotsman?" That is a gem. Seeing my best friend and other half JP is pretty much the best thing ever, as well. Miss you JRParoo and cant wait to see you! PS: when BYU wins my dad is really happy, I like when he is happy so again I thank Aggie football.

Last note: I am totally whipped------- I love Kohner and Hadley Brown. Played mommy for my nephew, age 7 and neice, age 3, tonight and well.... I'd die for them ten million times. If anyone wants my heart ever, lets face it, cant have it, call the Browns if you want it. I love you Hads and Doodie- NEVER EVER FORGET that. Like we talked about I'll be gone for 2 Christmas's, then I promise to come back and sleepover again. Thanks for playing with me and being my best friends. I hope you never get too old for "Auntie Kissy Monster." You can sleep on my couch when your parents drive you mad- they will- and I will be there.

We may be near, we may be far, but our love will surround us wherever we are.

Promise.
