I know I don't write in here frequently enough. Actually, that's an understatement, I never write in here. I'm pretty terrible at keeping blogs, but hey, we all have room to improve. I think this blog will probably be a more personal one anyway.
There are a lot of big changes on the horizon. To put things into context, I'm sitting kind of in a weird stage in life. I have my bachelor's degree. I spent the summer selling scripture videos in Oklahoma and Texas, and I'm coming to the end of a contract with student government filling in as the temporary Coordinator of Clubs and Service.
I spent the weekend looking for apartment up in Salt Lake City because I accepted a job as the government relations assistant to the Vice President of Student Services and Government Relations. My job will take me all over the place, but mainly, when the session is in, I'm going to working up at the capitol. What all this means is, I'm going to moving up to Salt Lake City.
I've found a place in Holladay that I really feel good about. It's not exactly where I wanted to live, but it seems like a really good arrangement. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Who knows how that's all going to play out. On top of all of that, I just broke up with my girlfriend last night. It was sad, but I felt peace about it.
There are so many new changes ahead, so many new experiences to have and people to meet. It's a little embarrassing to admit, but other than my mission and summers sales, I have never lived on my own. Each of those situations were nice, but this next move is a real move. I'm excited to be able to independent and all that jazz, but I just don't know what it's all going to be like.
In my mind it's going to be exciting to meet new people and make new friends, but I know the reality of it is that it is a hard thing to do sometimes. To find those people that you mesh with and that you feel like you can be yourself around. I have really good friends in St George, but I know now is the time for new beginnings.
It'll be interesting to see how my expectation match what really happens. All I really know is that I have a loving Father in Heaven who loves me knows what kind of experiences I need to be able to become like Him and return to His presence. I trust that he'll put the right people in the right places, just as He always does, as long as I do my part.
I guess the next step is preparing to leave. This next week is going to be my last week in St George, so I kind of want to hang out with some of my good friends and hit up some of the places that I really like. I know things are going to work out. As Elder Holland (a St George native) has said, "it will be alright in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come."
Not much left to say other than, here's to big things ahead :)
