The Plunge.

-moving out that is. I moved away from my safe haven in Perry, Utah and have forced myself to live here in Ephraim. Who knows the real reason I reside here today, but I believe ultimately I was supposed to end up here somehow. 

...FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE...
Let's begin with my perfect beyond perfect roommates.  
Kaylen: She shares my room and tolerates all my annoying habits of letting my alarm go off a solid ten minutes before I make any movement in my bed, and many more that she has yet to even fathom. Bless this babe. Next up.. 
Haley: She is sporty, spunky, and lots of fun especially when she is in the mood for a party. She's also got moves.This girl loves to get groovy, and looks great doing it. Thirdly, 
Cambrey: She is such a sweetheart. Really empathetic and I know I could trust her with anything. She is just an all around good person. Ahh finally.. 
Sierra: I could talk for days about how great she is, but we'll spare you the graphic details and let you get to know her though this here blog (: 
Kayla: She is miss Prepared Polly, and can do just about everything. She cooks like a boss, and has a large knowledge of miscellaneous things that are just generally nice to know.
                                                                                                                                                                     
THE TRANSITION. I have always known I would go to college someday, and when I was offered an ambassador position at Snow College it sealed my fate. I moved down a week before school was to start and when I saw the Ephraim sign and smelled the turkey farms I broke down into hysterical sobs. I didn't feel like I was/am/will ever be ready to be away from my family!

The next day I attended our ambassador retreat. It was at the retreat when I became overwhelmed with all the sudden changes. It was so scary knowing that I wouldn't return home to open arms and my loving family. The gals who got me through it all were Nicole, Steffany, and Siera(no not myself). I cannot wait to go into detail about these three AMAZING women, but I know that these ladies were placed in my life at this time for a purpose. I am so blessed to know each one of them, and to be influenced by them everyday. They held me while I cried, tickled my back when I was blabbering, and played with my hair until I fell asleep. I cannot express how much I love these girls and how grateful I am to have them. They make me want to be a better person.

Well that's that! I am here and I am happy. It makes me realize how much I love and need my family and even more my Heavenly Father. I find myself praying with more intent, searching the scriptures more diligently, and overall seeking for things which are uplifting. This is a hard change but I am hoping ultimately it will be a good one.


...I HOPE C.S. KNOWS BETTER THAN I DO...
