I'm Coming Home... :)

I have been wanting to update the blog for a long time, but I find myself speechless. So much has gone on in the last three months, and I have yet to record any it. 
The last few months have been filled with so many experiences. Most were great, but others were challenging. 
Where do I even start... This summer was unforgettable. I was able to spend a week in Bermuda, go on vacation with my family, spend time with my new niece, spend my short summer with the little ones. (I say little but Casey, Katie, and Camille aren't so little anymore, but they will always be the 'little ones'), I was able to meet baby Grace, see my grandparents more than once, spend some quality time with my best friends who I don't get to see often, go wedding dress shopping with Tara, see the Eliason's, spend the weekend in Grand Junction and watch Casey play tennis. I was also blessed with the opportunity  get to know my Aunt Monica and cousin Tommy. . I could go on and on. Over all I had just a great summer. 
I'm sure many people go through challenging stages of life, I just never thought I would... ;)  I have witnessed what Satan is capable of, and the effort he puts into getting what he wants. He wants families to be broken. Ahh. This just breaks my heart. Why does he have to try and ruin something so sacred and important. This has taught me some valuable lessons. Family is the most important thing in my life, and it is something that I must always treasure. I absolutely adore my family. I don't want to get too personal, and too deep into my family, but It is important to always stick together, and fight the world with each other. 
Having said all that I have been going through some personal things lately and I think it is important to remember how I have felt these last few months... I came across this quote a few days, and it is a reminder that I really needed. “Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.” When I was younger I wanted to be a teacher more than anything. all through out school I couldn't imagine doing anything else. Well... The last few semesters have been challenging. I love BYU Idaho and the atmosphere it has, but teaching just isn't for me. All though i still love kids, teaching just isn't where my heart is. Ive thought long and hard about this. Candice called me a few days ago, and said, You are an adult now, you can be and do ANYTHING you want. Decide what you want to do and do it, don't look back just go for it. This is has been heavy on my mind. I have been in this so called 'funk' for the last few months, and I am finally feeling better about everything. I know where I am going, and I am going to work really hard to get there. I have decided to come back to Colorado, and work with my dad. This really is a dream. And it is something that I decided for myself, I am not doing it for anyone else. This is what I want to do. This is a dream of mine, and I am excited to work hard for it. <3
