Over 3 years ago I started this blog and now the time how come that I have finally reached my 100th blog post and what a road it has been to get to this post. When I realized a couple months ago that I was getting close to my 100th post I decided that I should look back and see what has happened since I have started. My life is no where close to what it was 3 years ago and I am so grateful for that because I am pretty sure I have changed for the better. When I started this blog I was a 19 year old who had discovered to much about life and looking for away to make it better, and although it was hard and the road was long I have finally found that better life I was looking for. It isn't what I had imagined and I am not where I thought I would be but I am finally fully happy with where I am in my life, no that is not so say that I wouldn't be okay with finding a husband and starting a family or doing something other then working in a grocery store but I can honestly say I am happy with my self, with my life and with all the things that the Lord has in store for me.
3 years ago I moved to Virginia, this was one of the best choices I ever made, some of my friends said I was running away from the things of my past, and I guess in a way I was but I wouldn't change my experience for the world. I loved the time I spent in Virginia, I learned so much, made some great friends and was able to heal and experience life away from my parents. I loved seeing all the history of the country and I can not wait to be able to go back and explore some more, someday I will make it back there again.
After Virginia I moved back home, this may not have been the best move for me except that I was able to finish my schooling and I was able to realize that all the things I thought I missed while I was in Virginia weren't worth it, so when it came time for me to leave home again I was able to do it and not feel the need to look back... That move brought me to Utah.
I started out in Provo Utah which there were things I liked and things I had issues with, I had my first experience with roommates which could have gone better and my job wasn't the best but I was able to meet several great people and make pretty good friends out of them. It wasn't an easy place to live for me, my ward although friendly I was never able to get involved with and I never really got to know my bishop like what I felt I needed too, but again these experiences thought me so much. Although my life had already changed a lot by this point it wasn't until I made this last move the I feel like it really started to move forward.
I now live in South Jordan Utah, I have a pretty good job, it still isn't my favorite but it allows me to live where I am and take care of myself. I am starting to get to know many great people in my gigantic ward and most importantly I have a bishop that has striven to get to know me as an individual and help me to progress in away that didn't seem to possible to me for a long time. I now know that life is great, that I have many great things in store for my future and that this Journey I am on is an amazing journey regardless of what happens.
Now if you have made it this far in this post then congratulations, I know its long but it was more so for me to be able to look back and see the progress I have made in my life. I have so many things to be grateful for. My relationship with my Heavenly Father is stronger then what it ever has been before. This up coming week I get to make a big step in my life that I have been looking forward to for years because of the relationship I have been striving to gain with Heavenly Father and the relationship I have been working on with myself. I am thankful for this life I have been given, the experiences I am able to have and I am glad I can share those experiences on my blog with those I care about.
Here is to the next 100th posts to come and the experiences and adventures that life has in store for me.
How exciting to see how far you've come. It'll be very exciting to see where you'll go next.
