& I Continue To Grow And Change

SCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOL'S

OUT

FOR SUMMER!

Kind of....

I'm taking a summer class that starts on June 6th, so I get three weeks off.

I finished everything last Thursday.

That was a bizarre feeling.

Mostly a feeling of relief.

Just one more class and I won't have to deal with school for 18 months.

SUCKAAAAAAS ;).

It was Bethany and Jessica's last days forever at OCCC.

I'll probably end taking a couple classes that will transfer to UCO once I get back.

Because it's cheaper :).

Anyway.....in memory of it being their last day we all took a bunch of pictures together and went out to lunch.

I have really loved going to OCCC.

I took classes there my senior year of high school and just continued there to do my gen eds.

It's a really great school.

I have a lot of fun memories.

I'm so grateful that I was able to meet Bethany and Jessica.

I know Bethany was sad for all of us to go our own directions in the next few months.

She's so loving and such a great friend like that.

We will definitely remain friends and stay in contact.

I have no doubt about it.

You ladies better write me while I'm on my mission!!

Since I've moved around a couple times I'm kind of used to saying goodbye to people and never seeing them again.

It's also made me not like goodbyes at all.

So, if I seem like I don't care that I'm saying goodbye, please know that I do care.

I may avoid the goodbye because I know it's not goodbye forever.

I'm also so grateful for the support I've received from those ladies with my decision to serve a mission.

They're not even members of my church but they're both so excited for me and can't wait to find out where I'll go.

Thank you so much for supporting me!

I love this song A LOT.

My life is becoming so beautiful.

Every day it gets better.

Deciding to serve a mission has been the best decision I could make.

I had marriage options but those didn't bring me the peace and happiness I needed.

Preparing to serve has brought me more peace and happiness than I could ever ask for.

I feel it surrounding and enfolding me washing away every hurt and pain I've ever felt.

Every day tears of gratitude and happiness fill my eyes.

I can't imagine doing anything else with my life right now.

I'm glad that I have the opportunity to take what I'm learning now and what I will learn out on my mission and use it for my future life.

Future family, future career, future whatever.

It all will be better because of my decision to serve.
