My New Life.



                   My new life has begun and it has already shown me in so many ways how truly lucky I am to be on this adventure. At first being over 2,000 miles away from home was an adjustment. It's been 2 weeks since I left little ole' Lake City and started the journey west. Although I'm not completely adjusted to my new surroundings and atmosphere, I am truly happy with the decision I've made. I have started my new job at Pinnacle Security as an Inside Sales Scheduler, which basically means I schedule the appointments for the technicians to go and install the security systems into peoples homes. I love my job and I have been blessed to be trained by great people. The atmosphere is a positive environment and I am constantly learning something new. My aunt and uncle have so graciously let me stay with them until I move into my apartment next week and I have felt so loved since I got here. They are such amazing people and their hospitality has been wonderful. I miss home, but I know that this is where I need to be. Even though there are over 2,000 miles between me and home everything still remains the same. My mom is still a rockstar and I talk to her almost every day, my best friend is still my best friend and I am so proud of her and the strength she has given me through this whole process. Things here are different. My skin is a little drier, my time schedule is two hours different, I have a new job, and in the midst of all the crazy I have seemed to have found a new sense of self and happiness.

Dearest Utah

My dear sweet Utah, What an amazing three weeks you've given me. You always will be my home away from home and I will always be grateful for my summers spent with you. Utah, you teach me a lot every single time I'm with you, and this year you've given me much to be thankful for. You have taught me that family is never that far away. You have taught me that life in itself gives great challenges, but those challenges make me stronger. You have taught me that one of my most favorite things is seeing my grandparents hold hands while walking together. You have taught me that the mountains are the most beautiful place in the world. You have taught me that the stars are so much brighter when you are actually looking for them. You have taught me how much I am blessed to have such amazing friends back home. You have taught me that it's okay not to look your best every day. You have taught me that Law & Order: SVU is a slight addiction shared by my cousins and myself. You ha...

COVID

The world of COVID-19 has been a world I never imagined possible. While this time has taken away so many things I am grateful for the things it has given me. I've found my new normal and for someone who loves structure that has been a huge relief. I don't feel the need to do as much. I don't feel as rushed. I dropped my ipad on the tile today and cracked the screen pretty badly and I didn't even cry. Things have become things and my trips to Target don't seem as crucial anymore. I've been sewing. I thank my grandmas and my aunts for their love of sewing that is now ingrained on my heart. I watch a lot of TV. I do a lot of cooking. Who knew?

Learning.

As a twenty-two year old I thought that there was an order my life would follow. It would go something like this: Birth School More School Higher School University Job Marriage Baby More Babies Get Old Die As an LDS woman being married and having babies is something I have always wanted. I figured marriage and babies would come easily for me. I moved to Utah, then I graduated college, then I got a great job, and now I'm just here. No marriage, no babies, just me. This is my life. Am I happy? I would say yes. Is it easy? I would say no. There is a certain level of humble one has to be in order to fully trust in God's plan for life. It requires constant prayer and fasting. It requires a faith stronger than I would have ever thought. Timing. Life is all about timing. Not my timing, but the Lord's timing for me. I am grateful for the power of prayer and the comfort it brings to my life. With daily communication with my Heavenly Father I am reassured that he know...
