| The End.Well, folks this is it. My last entry...at least for a year and a
half. This last week has been pretty fun spending time with
everyone. I can't believe tonight I'm getting set appart and
Wednesday I enter the MTC. It's coming up so fast.
Well, if you ever feel like sending a letter my address while I'm in the MTC...I should be there about 2 months ...is:
Sister Elizabeth Ida Haake
France Toulouse Mission
Provo Missionary Training Center
Bldg 1-MK Rm A106
2005 N 900 E
Provo, UT 84604
After that they cost a bit more since I'm in France...but I would still love to hear from you. My address there is:
Sister Elizabeth Ida Haake
France Toulouse Mission
4, Rue Alaric II
Compains Caffarelli
F-31000 Toulouse
FRANCE
Well, I guess thats it.

| Talk about an action packed week.
It all started last Sunday with my second councilor
coming up to me asking me to speak for the next Sunday.
Then that night I went to the Smiths to watch the Superbowl...which was
highly amusing on account of Jenny's grandpa making hilarious
comments...especially during the Rolling Stones half time show
On monday when my parents wanted me to clean the
oven...it was nasty, and as I was elbow deep in black burned goo the
phone rings. It turns out to be the church travel agent wanting
me to go to San Fransisco this week to apply for my visa. So, I
agreed and found out I got a chance to visit with my aunt and uncle,
who I wouldn't have been able to see before my mission
otherwise...wahoo. I also got to stay the night with my
grandparents in Salt Lake.
The rest of the week was kind of lazy just doing the last of the jobs
my parents wanted me to do and watching movies in French. Oh yeah
and kind of writing my talk.
Thursday I packed all up and spent the rest of the evening waiting for
a delayed plane. After all that waiting I finally made it by ten,
and got to visit for a few hours.
Friday I got up mega early to catch my six am flight to San Fran.
At the airport I got to meet a couple elders going in the MTC at the
same time as me and a couple going to the Paris mission. It was a
fun trip for us getting out fingerprints and mugs taken at the French
Consolate. Then we checked out the Golden Gate Bridge and
Alcatraz all missionary style. Fun times. Then I flew
home...well with a detour through Atlanta..and got home late and stayed
up talking even though I was way tired. I slept good, but had to
get up early for my hair appointment. I got all my hair chopped
off. It's rather sad, I miss my hair. Then came home and
relaxed and revamped after all that excitement. Then, I got Sam's
Mohawk all ready for his big homecoming date. With the help of my
mom, we pretty much created the most awesome hairdo ever.
Today I had my farewell. The amazing part was there was a
confirmation to take place that day also, which just brough in the
Spirit for me. Also, I ended up with a little less speaking time
than planned. I was shaking, but apparently no one noticed but my
mom yay. Hallelujah! : ) Beth came over for dinner and Dad
made this very elaborate dinner...including the itallian style
sushi...eww...meaning raw pork thats been smoked or something.
Needless to say, one more thing I can check off my trying list.
Anyways, I thought it was a pretty sweet week.

| 5 Weird Habits...Ground
Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird
habits of yourself", and people who get tagged need to write a Xanga
entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In
the end you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list
their names.
So, Here goes:
1) I do not feel awake till I have eaten at least one bite of
food...none of this skipping breakfast for me :) Also, I can't fall
truly asleep until I've been on my stomatch for a few minutes and then
turn on my right side. I guess my body is particular about its
rest.
2) Save the best for last is always my modo for eating, that applieas
to all food. So if I am saving something on my plate, don't worry
I love it. Sandwiches are the best though. I don't like the
crust so I eat around the sandwhich and eat the middle of the sandwhich
last.
3) I come up with weird nick-names for all my family members excluding
my parents. They are not always nice either...Bum is a favorite
one I use for all my brothers. Although Zachy, Mike-in-Ike,
Ben-jam-in and Sammy-boy have also been used. The best is for
pets though...I kind of evolve their names until they are
unrecognizable. Our cat was named Snuggles, but that was too
normal for me so I called her Kitty Baby, which eventually evolved into
Key-beebee. Hugo has gone from Hugs to Hugies to Hugerts.
I'm sure there will be a few more before I leave.
4) I used to think about things while I ran, but I found it much more
theraputic for me to go running without thinging about anything but my
breathing lately. So, if you see someone running down the street
breathing robotically it's probably me.
5) I can't do math (actually it goes beyond math to most subjects, but
I'll pretend its just math) without talking to myself. Jeanette
got the most of it while I did homework in our room. But I
sometimes feel bad for those that I sit by in the testing center.
I mean I try to keep it to an inaudible whisper, but I do wonder
sometimes if they can hear me.
So there ya go 5 weird habits of Liz.
So, now just to finish the job. I tag: Sam, Beth, Jenny, Amy, and Noelle
You know it is kind of funny to think of your five weirdest habbits.
Its been really warm here since I've been here except for the first
week, so I think the birds are confused. I was woken up by a huge
flock of canadian geese flying north the other day. But we had a
blizzard last night which cooled things down a bit, and just now I saw
a flock flying Southeast. Poor birds, the seasons this year are
really messed up.
Just so you know I'm not currently gaming, but I am listening to my brother play this game :)

So first of all I am going to try and pay closer attention to what I am typing...my last entry had like 5 typos.
So folks...thanks to Amy's request here is hugo. Cutest dog
ever but slightly vicious and deaf. Oh, and he has
forgiven me, and now enjoys sharing the same side of the road as
me. Although he still requires more stops at clumps of grass and rocks
then I would normaly prefer on a walk 
So, funny thing this week is flying by...it's been a while since I have
been able to say that. Maybe because I've been working and
studying a little more, or maybe its because I actually have a few
plans to look forward to this week, or possibly because I was able to
apply for that visa. Never-the -less I can hardly believe that it
is wednesday night.
So, its weird I decided to not count down the days till I entered the
MTC so time wouldn't drag on or I wouldn't start thinking about missing
my family already, but that is pretty much impossible now. Well I
guess its possible if I never see the date again or if I remember to be
as horrible at mental math as I am at college. Oh well, I guess I'm
doomed to count down the days from here on out.
So, tonight was fun my mom and I had a real heart to heart...of course
filled with tears, laughter, and every other emotion. Girl
talk. Man, my poor mom goes without it for so long. Plus I
have missed all the talks we used to have, I guess I should "fill up my
canteen" as my cousin would say it, but with much more clean fun than
that comment usually implies so that I won't miss it so much over the
mission. So, basically I have our releif society book club making
it possible for us tonight.
So! I have, throughout writing this entry, detected that I use
the word so too frequently. It's just a filler(at least how I use it), why do I even use
it? Well, because it sounds SO nice. Also, really in my
actual entry writing the third paragraph did not start with so, but I
thought it would be comical for all of the paragraphs to start with so,
so I replaced ok. The good thing is it doesn't sould half bad
there. Oh man, that was like the most pointless paragraph ever
written. For that I apologize.
One last thing...this song by Better than Ezra and the gorrillaz "feel good" song are my weakness these days.

| Hugo is mad at me, and he was just so cute about it when I took him for
a walk today. He carried his leash in has mouth and walked on the
opposite side of the road from me....avoiding all eye contact with
me. All that because I made him stay upstairs while i was
cleaning out carpets. Animals are fun.
Also, it is a very scary thing to wash your hands when they are covered
with glue and glass shards. Luckily I got away with not cuts, but
it took a long time. However, my parents lamp seems to be in one
piece again..although slightly more wobbly.
And my visa application and everything are all in the mail. Wahoo
for getting that done. My poor brother saw me freak out in the
car today when we could find no copying place, because all of them were
out of business or none existant. So we settled on a black and
white copy from the library. Who knows when I'll go to San
Fran...probably while I'm in the MTC.
