.... Made it!

I'm sitting here tonight thinking about this past semester, and I can't help but go back through my blog and look at all the things I have done, and how far I have come and how much I have grown. You know you have grown, when you can start to see the growth in yourself, sorry friends I bet to you all I am a completely different person... Hopefully a better person that is.. Well anyways,  I made it! One semester down, and a whole lot to go. From what I have been told by my roommates and friends, the first one is the worst, so at least I have that under my belt. Final grades haven't been posted  yet... still waiting to see if I squeaked by and manage to get a C in my Econ class, but other then that I am living the life. This has been one of the most incredible journeys I have ever taken. I thank my Heavenly Father each and every day for blessing me with such an experience that truly has helped me get to where I am going... which maybe will get to tonight. :)

This picture was captured by one of my fabulous roommates. I had been studying all day, and she thought I needed some time away from the books. We popped in Home Alone, and tried to eat away the stress of the next day.... Some people gain the freshmen 15... and Im a little surprised I didn't put on weight especially considering the types of food I resorted to the past few weeks, but when I moved home I actually weighed less then when I started.. I guess stress and finals will do that to a person. Who'd a thought!

Don't judge.. it was a rough week!!!

This is the last picture of all three of us taken the night before we left! I'd like to say I was super excited to be moving home, and couldn't wait to start my "new journey" but it was hard. It's one of those bitter sweet moments when you know you're doing what you're supposed to, but it still kinda stings anyways. 

Me and Rylee have become quite the singers lately, and well with the help of our good friend we put together a video, that kind of shows whats next. It really is good.. minus the singing part, but the meaning and everything else behind it is so true!!... so watch it, laugh at it, love it, and watch it again.. It definitely will bring a smile to your face, especially on a bad day!

Well with that video being played, and rumors on facebook, and other things, I guess it's time to tell the blogging world what is really going on. I have obviously moved home from Cedar City, and from college......  crazy huh??? ya sometimes I think I am too, but in all reality I know it's where I am supposed to be at and I am doing exactly what I should be.. I have put in mission papers, and am waiting.. not so patiently I might add on an assignment. Eventually I might get around to sharing more details of how it all came about, and how much of a crazy emotional roller coaster I have been on, and probably will continue to be on, until I leave. But until then there is one thing I know... and that this is exactly what God has intended for me to be doing all along. That I was given certain hardships, trials, and challenges, to prepare me for this journey I soon will begin. I know I couldn't of done it without the constant examples of my family and friends, you guys really are a big part of why I am the way I am. That saying that says to some sort "It takes a village to raise a child" is completely true, especially in my case. I am grateful to you all each and everyday and will be in debt to you forever. The gospel of Jesus Christ is true! It always has been and will continue to be so until the end. Share your testimonies with others, you never know whose lives you might be touching. 

Love you all, and thanks for taking this crazy journey with me! I hope you're in it for the long hall! I've gotta feeling we're gonna need to buckle up for this ride!

Have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season!

<3 Hugs and Loves ... from tree town..
