Life is a changing as I know it......
Well my life is chaning as I know it and although I am SUPER happy about it, its a little scary for me... Its a welcome change that I brought on myself and as I find myself a week away from being out of Logan for good and starting school and work I find myself wondering... SHOULD I REALLY BE DOING THIS?!?!?!? My life was great here and although things may not of always been picture perfect I can't help love this place I learned to call home... So here is a list of things that have changed and or I have learned in about the past month:
1. Got my school schedule planned out.
2. I got a new job at Avenues Midwifery
3. Moved in with my wonderful friend Amber and her family.
4. Moved out of my apartment and have my life in 2 places now.
5. Have learned that its okay to change.
6. Driven through Sardine Canyon WAY to many times.
7. Got the 24 hour bug.
8. Been greateful to have family I can help and who can help me.
9. Not taken enough pictures
10. Given my notice to my AWESOME boss.
11. Trained my replacement.
12. Really thought about what is great about my life.
13. Said goodbye to some great friends.
14. Got a not so good haircut.. :)
15. Colored this not so good haircut.
16. Had a meltdown about this whole CHANGE..
17. Saw the happiness my neices and nephews bring me.
18. Learned my parents always have the best wisdom.
19. Went to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional.
20. Walked around Temple Square to see the lights.
21. Have been/ currently are living out of a suitcase.
22. LEARNED LIFE ALWAYS ISN'T WHAT I WANT OR THINK IT
SHOULD BE BUT ITS PRETTY DARN GOOD!!!!!
I don't know there are some a few of the things that I can think off the top of my head.. Yes I have cried and know that next week will I probably be a bigger emotional reck than I have ever been or would ever want to be.. I am going to miss this place and the wonderful people who I can friends and family. And although its only an hour North I still won't be here everyday. So now before I start to get teary eyed again I am going to end this post... (and for my sister who don't like to read such long post)..... Oh gosh I don't even know what else to say!!! :)
PS.. For those of you that want to know... I updated Weston and Jennise's blog.. and you can thank me later!!! :)
