My Destination

How far away are we from our destination? We know our destination being church members is the celestial kingdom but when will be our time? No one knows. We go about life setting goals, and making plans. Until we go to college sometimes we never know what we really want to do with our life. At first I was dead set on going to BYU-Idaho and being an elementary teacher…after a semester I felt I couldn’t do it anymore. I’m not sure exactly why. It could be because I didn’t want to be away from home. It could be because I didn’t think being a teacher was my “destiny”. I really honestly don’t know. When I got home I told my mom if I don’t want to be a teacher anymore what do I want to be… She suggested how one time I said I wanted to be an executive administrative assistant. Then suggested going to LDS Business College. So I applied right away excited to now know what I wanted to be was finally here. And it was only going to take me two years instead of four. =] Heck yes!  I get here and it’s a nice small school and not too hard of classes. Now this is my second year in college and now I am getting married. I found a wonderful job as a receptionist at a flooring company and realized being an executive is not what I wan to be. I’ve now lowered it to administrative assistant certificate. I will be done December 2011. In my English class I realized that I would love to do something with psychology, maybe just take some classes nothing huge. The brain fascinates me and I want to do something that I enjoy. I will probably stick with this while Spencer goes to college, I’ll do a class or two. A few days ago I realized what I really want to do is to own a little bookstore of my own. It’d be even cooler if we lived above it so if I had kids I could stay at home with the kids while working. I’ve always loved reading books; you could escape into your own world. =] I’ve also met so many people that are inspiring to me and make me realize what I really want to do in life. They are there for me when I need an escape and there for me to share my joys. I want to thanks those of you who have been there for me =] Thank you!

All of this is getting me to my destination in some way or another. That hopefully along the way will have me help others and meet great people. It’s a journey. “You never know what you truly want until you’re at where you thought you wanted to be.” –Holly Nielsen

Just thoughts that were running through my head. Without know it God’s already guiding us through this maze to make a path for our life. We may hit a dead end or a fork in the road. If we take a wrong turn we will know and reverse and go back to the right path. When we are there we will know it. =]

Ah the wonderful paths of life.

On a side note life is pretty good. Spencer and I have about 134 days left until we are married. My dad is fixing up my old car so we can have that. We should get it in 2-3 weeks. We meet with a lady today about an apartment and I am pretty excited about it. =] Everything is finding its place and coming together quite nicely.

Also 3 more weeks left in winter semester I believe and I’m SUPER excited. It will be nice to have a break from schooling for once.

Down below is a poem that came to my mind as I was standing out in the stupid snow this morning!! Hope you like it =]

They’ve met their match

Their light as feather but as fast as the wind

Spinning around and around like a roller coaster

Making you dizzy as you try to watch

Their delicate movement

The cool air chilling you to the bone

Within a blink of an eye

The white fluffy mess disappears one by one

Their no match for the cements warmth

Once they hit they’ve melted away

Leaving puddles in their graves

Soaking my shoes

While walking towards the station

As the train comes speeding by

The snows graceful dance

Is interrupted

Making chaos in the sky

The white attaches to me

As I step on the train

Excited to escape the chill

Once aboard

The warmth engulfs me

Drip drip drip

The snowflakes once again

Have met their match
