I can't believe it.

Has it really been SEVEN MONTHS?! Oh my. I am a current failure at this whole blog thing. Part of me stopped writing on here because I'm home.
Well lets see. Since October I went home for Thanksgiving with Hannah, finished the semester, drove home with Hannah for Christmas, and I have been home ever since. The plan was that I was only going to stay in Sioux City till about February but things came up and I needed to stay here to support and help my family. We kept on delaying going back to my other home in Rexburg. Finally We came up with a date to take me back!! I was so excited I missed my roommates and the atmosphere so much. A few days before we were going to be driving back I just wasn't ready (to tell the truth I never felt for sure I was ready the whole winter) I yearned to go so bad. So I finally asked my dad for a blessing and got down on my knees and prayed to our Heavenly Father. In the blessing my father said that I would know and I would feel comforted, and I did. I knew that this is where I needed to be. I knew that I needed to transfer to Council Bluffs and go to school to be a Sign Language Interpreter. I knew this with out a doubt. It was so funny how everything just fell into place. I love how the Lord does that. So now I have just been living at home with my parents and working for my parents saving money for a car and preparing myself to go out into the world once more in August where I will attend Iowa Western Community College.
It has been really hard because I see all of my best friends in Idaho doing new things with new, fun, great people. I get really jealous because I wish I was there with them doing everything with them. I feel like I'm losing my one of my closest best friends, I know that is ridiculous because she will always be my best friend and she will always be there for me but she is busy with her new life, new friends, new everything and doesn't really have the time for me. I used to be with her everyday and talk to her about everything. She was the one person I could confide in and I knew that she would never tell a soul. She was my other half ( in a friend girl way.... haha) I guess what I'm trying to say is that after this summer when I go visit Idaho, I will probably never see her again. You can call me crazy and say I'm bluffing but it is the truth. She is staying in Idaho and when she comes home for the holidays it will be to see her family not me, which I understand. One of my other best friends and I said that we would make sure all 3 of us would get together once a year till we are old, skinny, and have blue hair. :) I really do hope that happens.
I will say though that I had the best time of my life in Idaho and I will never forget what I did, who I did it with, and the people I met and learned to love with all my heart. I went there with my best friend, met a new best friend, and plan to keep them with me forever. They made me a better person everyday I was with them.
I'm ready to start my new happy college life! I hope I have just as much fun as I did in Idaho and meet as many great people as I did there.
OH! So as for my new college life. I met a girl named Nikki at a YSA conference and we both wanted to move to Council Bluffs! Crazy huh?! So we have been hanging out and have been pretty excited to move in together this August. She lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and she is great! Always happy and makes me laugh!
One great thing about being home for 5 months is that I have been able to spend a lot of time with my family and my sister! My sister is also one of my best friends and I love that I have been able to spend so much time with her. She is graduating from college this May!!! Finally with a marriage and 3 kids later. I'm so proud of her, I definetly could not do that. She is like wonder woman, always has been in my eyes!
I love this world! Somedays I forget but I try to notice all of the lovely simple things in life. It has made me appriciate everything so much. I'm happy that the Lord helped me make the hard choice to decide where to go.
For this summer one of my OTHER best friends Erica and I are going to have many many wonderful adventures together, we already have a list, so I will try my hardest to keep this thing posted. :)
