The Trials of a Sister

Most of the girls about to serve missions that I have talked to or met are super excited for the chance to revamp their whole wardrobe for their mission. I am here to say that not everyone feels that way---at all. I hate shopping in the first place. But finding skirts and shirts to make several outfits with, yet still look professional, I'm going to be honest here, is a pain in my butt.

I think that most sisters are going in with the thought to always look cute, which don't get me wrong is totally important. I mean if some girl came up to me looking like she just came off the street, I probably wouldn't want to hear any message she was sharing that day. But I loathe the thought of creating new outfits.

I guess this is just one of these times that I wish I had a personal shopper. Or that everything that is my size always fit and looked great. I sometimes wish I was an elder because I know how much easier their shopping is than mine. I mean picking out ties cannot be this difficult.

On a happier note, with every outfit I try on I also put my brother's old name tag on with it. It makes it more real---and I like it.

T-minus 9 days until I step on that plane.

And we have a day.

Friends. The only thing I have to tell you is check Temple closings before you decide to take your first solo-session trip. I have learned this lesson the hard way. I thought to myself. You know what would be so cool? Going to a session in Atlanta because I've never been there before! So I got up and left at 6. I drove through a Tornado Watch down to Atlanta. 



Turns out, it was closed for cleaning. So here I am, in Atlanta, by myself not knowing what to do. I called my parents in frustration and disappointment, they told me I really had two options here. 1) Do nothing and come home or 2) Head to Columbia to hit up a night session. I sat in Chick-fil-a (a side note I'm pretty sure Mrs. Chick-fil-a was there), wondering what to do. Then it dawned on me, why not? I'm going to Columbia. So I headed to Columbia just in time for a session.




 Although it made for a long day, it was totally worth the drive. I mean good things come to those who wait, right?
