Moving on

I am happy to report that I found a place to move into! It's not im my current ward but it is in the same stake so it won't be completly new. By this time next week I will have finished my first few days of school, be moved in, and hopefully be pretty good at cooking my own meals. I am so excited that I am moving on and vernturing out on my own, I'm sure it will be a reality check but I am ready to learn!

Oh and today I went to the dentist and had a funny conversation with him concerning my wisdom teeth.
Dentist: How old are you?
Me: 19
Dentist: Oh so old enough to get your wisdom teeth out
Me: Ya....
Dentist: It's not an emergency or anything but if ever you get bored and you have 2 ot 3 days to relax, you can make an apointment to get your wisdom teeth out (smiles really big at me), wouldn't that be exciting?

It's very unlikely that I will EVER get so bored that I'm willing to put myself through that, but I guess I'll have to do it eventually...maybe in May :P

One year ago I didn't know what I wanted.
I thought that I would be going to BYU-I for who knows what degree.
I wasn't happy with where I was in life.
Also working at the store wasn't doing much for my overal mood.

 It's amazing what can happen in one year, I'm heading to school in a week for my Early Childhood Education Certificate. I am happy with my decision to stay here and am excited to start college life!  I've had a great time working with all the kids at daycare and am actually pretty sad to leave them. But who knows in another two years I could be working with them again, I guess what I've learned this year is that you can't plan to much ahead because nothing seems to go the way you want it to. I'm not saying that I'm glad my life is ending up this way I am actually quite happy it did, it's just not what I expected :P I just had to learn to put my faith in the Lord and believe that he will lead me to where I'm meant to go.

So what ever is in store for me in the next year, what ever life throws at me, I have to trust that I'll be ready.

Summer

I realized that it has been one month since I last blogged...ooops :P Summer is almost over! I can't believe that school starts up soon and fall is just around the corner...but anyways I'll tell you what I've been up to lately.

So this month has just consisted of work, work and more work with a few ocasional trips to Lethbridge, don't get me wrong I love my job but sometimes it can be a little bit draining. As you can imagine children have a few minor mood swings. But anyways a week ago we picked my brother up from EFY and I have to say it was sad not being there with him, I went for five years and this year I couldn't go :( I love the experiences that happen there and the friends you make. Hopefully next year I can go as a counselor and then I can keep my lights on till ELEVEN THIRTY, I know it'll be pretty awesome.

I also bought a parking pass for school and am heading to the College this afternoon to pick up my books, which means I am a College student!! I'm pretty excited to start this new chapter and hopefully it will be a good one. I am most likely moving out in the next few weeks as well. I don't know how I can live at home and be able to get all the stuff done for school, I'm sure I could do it but spending 40 mintues in traveling time every day could add up.

Oh and guess what? My family and I are heading to Denver tomorrow!!! I'm pretty stoked to go (not for the drive because that will be long and boring) because I get to see my cousins again, that will be twice this summer :) Charlotte will be home so I get to spend some time with her before she enters married land and doesn't get to see us much, not that she saw us much before but you know :P.

That's been my summer, not really exciting but I did make money and am almost ready for school :). Wish me luck!
