Long Distance HAD Its Good Qualities....For A While.

So Garren and I have been dating for over 2 months now. (I can't decide if that sounds like a long time.... or like nothing. Part of me feels like I have always been with him.) Any way our entire relationship has been long distance. Thankfully we have 5 years of friendship to build our relationship on. For the 10 weeks we have been dating we have gotten to see each other for 7 of those weekends. Each one has been blissfully wonderful.

We talk on the phone and text and write letters. Its been a wonderful way to get to know each other again. A lot can happen in two years. A lot did happen in two years. I am so grateful for this time that we had to fall in love.... Now I am grateful that the distance will end and I will live in Cedar. I am so excited! I am excited to just do the every day things with him. You know have a normal relationshp. No one has ever made me laugh so hard. How could I not be happy! I am in love with my best friend!

SAP FEST. Yep thats right. Oh well what do you do.

As excited as I am to move to Cedar, I will miss my roomies. They are wonderful. I have so much fun with them! I have so many wonderful friends here. I have moved from Provo before.... this time is just different....

My life is constantly changing... heck I have blogged about it a million and one times! I was reading random articles on lds.org (you know one of my favorite past time ) and came across an article called, "Progress through Change," by Marvin J. Ashton. It was amazing!

This is my favorite paragraph from the talk, if you want to read the whole thing (which I HIGHLY suggest) click here.

As opportunity for change reaches into our lives, as it always will, we must ask, “Where do I need development? What do I want out of life? Where do I want to go? How can I get there?” Weighing alternatives very carefully is a much needed prerequisite as one plans changes. In God’s plan we are usually free to choose the changes we make in our lives and we are always free to choose how we will respond to the changes that come. We need not surrender our freedoms. But just as a compass is valuable to guide us out of the dense forest, so the gospel points the way as we walk the paths of life.

I know what I want out of life, and I know how to achieve it. I also know I can't possibly do it alone. Thankfully I won't ever have too. I have an amazing eternal Elder Brother and Father in Heaven that will literally lift me through the hardships and guide me through the fog as long as I let them. I am so very blessed and couldn't be happier.
