An Update

I realized recently that is is my blog about my life but I rarely talk about what's actually happening in my life! So, here's an update.

Disclaimer: it's not about a ring or a baby or a white dress.

Sorry for the disappointment.

 

The beginning of January 2015 I signed a housing contract in Provo... and at the end of January I submitted my application to Brigham Young University. You may be thinking to yourself "Well, that sounds a little backwards, doesn't it?" Yes. Yes, it does. But that's what [f a i t h] is, right?

 

That's what I told myself, anyway.

 

 I am not sure what it is or why but I just feel drawn to Provo. Maybe it's because all of my friends are there. Maybe it's because I've been a big fish in a little pond for the last 18 months and now it's hard for me to be a big fish in a little pond. (Oh, you know my bishop and my brother and my mom? And you dated my ex-boyfriend? Wow. Small world!) 

 

Maybe my inner adventurer needs a change and a chance to grow.

 

 Maybe, it's in the plans of the Big Man.

 

Who knows. I'm running with it.

 

The end of February I found out I was accepted to BYU for Fall 2015. YAY! Faith pays off, my friends. Now I don't have to move there and do nothing for a year or longer while I figure out my life. So, here's my plan.

 

I want to study Recreation Management.. because I want to be a wedding planner. I want to help people pick their colors and their wedding dress and their bridesmaid dresses. I want to arrange flowers and deal with mothers-in-law. Basically, I want to spend the rest of my life helping people be happy for eternity. (Sound familiar?)

 

The dream is to intern in NYC and then, after I graduate, move to California to work and eventually start my own business. As I'm typing this I realize I may have only told my parents half of the plan, if any, so.. Sorry Mom and Dad... You're going to have to visit me on one of the coasts. #sorrynotsorry

 

There are a few realizations I've had recently:

 

I'm pretty independent.

Very Motivated.

Determined.

Self-Sufficient.

Outspoken. (no, really? ;) )
