the next chapter

Can you even still consider yourself a blogger when you haven't posted an inkling of anything in a whopping nine months? Oooooops. In my defense though, those nine months have been some of the craziest of my whole life. It's gonna take me awhile to get everyone up to speed, but I mean, I've got to start somewhere, right?

As of yesterday, Draper is now considered home. On Monday I start work as a nanny for two cute kids. The following Monday I start my second-to-last semester at BYU-Idaho. This move was unexpected and spontaneous, but it's part of what's next for me. 

Bonnie L. Oscarson recently said, "May I point out something obvious? Life rarely goes exactly according to plan for anyone. We should remember that a loving Heavenly Father is aware of our righteous desires and will honor His promises that nothing will be withheld from those who faithfully keep their covenants. Heavenly Father has a mission and plan for each of us, but He also has His own timetable. One of the hardest challenges in this life is to have faith in the Lord's timing."

Oh, how true that is. I'm struggling working to accept that as I figure out my "Plan B."

The next several months are going to be about me--about healing, about finding happiness again, about getting back on my feet, and about becoming the best version of  myself. 

Here's to my next chapter.
