Just over 2 months.

I move into my dorm on August 17. This is about a week before any other Freshman because I am a Community Attache...It is still weird to think that it's that short of a time. I'm shaken and nervous and don't want to leave certain people (scott, justin, my family). it's nerve wracking honestly. T-bird I am. I have things so easy here; my parents buy everything I need, I don't have to worry about paying for my laundry to be done, I have friends here who care about me and want me around, I have people who already love me and apparently will forever(hope that's true), I seem carefree when I'm home. I'll miss it here, but I really need the shooling and learning and the experience I will get will be amazing. Hopefully the promises of visits that I have gotten won't be forgotten and I won't be alone. 

Love you all. 2 months and I'll miss you all.

Oh Happy Day

Inspiring!

It's been a rather interesting and at points inspiring week. Last Sunday I had to opportunity to go receive my Patriarchal Blessing. Needless to say I bawled from the moment I asked my father to pray for me. It was an amazing experience and I learned that my God really does work through those he has appointed for us on earth and that I can receive my own revelation at times of need. 

On Tuesday I Graduated. It is still odd to think that I am officially out of High School and all the drama thereof. I may be growing older, but that doesn't mean I have to grow up right? At least not all the way. I plan on being like my amazing parents when I grow up and being responsible, but still have the sense of humor and the silliness that really partially defines ME. 

I have officially been hired by the Lindon Walmart. I don't know who came up with the idea of putting me in the electronics department, but that's where I am going as soon as my drug test goes through. 

On Saturday Justin took me and Scott and Kayden to a concert in Eagle Mountain. Chris Cagle! It was a supremely awesome concert!! The only part that really wasn't awesome was the fact that a fight broke out right in the middle. Chris had to stop the entire concert and call security and then he pulled a couple kids up on stage with him because they had been caught in the middle. I figured out just how protective the 3 young men I was with are though. All 3 of them started blocking as soon as they realized a fight was happening close to me. Even before the fight they were being attentive because the people near us (also the ones who started the fight) were drunk and they didn't want me hurt at all.  It was nice to know I was cared about honestly.

Chris Cagle was amazed at the welcome he felt at the concert and the love he seemed to feel from the audience and his fans. It was amazing, but it seems that Utah can be quite welcome when we finally get past judging our own.

Before this week even began my mother told me that we can feel inspired and feel closer to our beliefs through almost anything. Honestly this week proved it. In the middle of a crazy country concert I felt that I was loved and was never alone even though I may have been scared. Through all of the shock of this week I have felt my Father near me. 

Now I won't push my beliefs on others, because I refuse to judge others just because they aren't me. I have gotten too much of that myself from those who should have welcomed me with open arms as one of their own. But I will say this, whether you are LDS, Catholic, Muslim or Buddhist; there is always someone to be near you when needed and there is always love for those who need it. 

Oh Happy Day!
