Our Last Day on the Mountain

Isn't it funny how life can change in a week!!! I can't believe only a week ago I was enjoying a relaxing Sunday on my mountain and now one week later it's completely turned 360 on me. Now I'm living back in the city, a poor college student, and really close to my mom. She likes to joke that we had to have something pretty drastic happen to us for that to happen. Yeah she jokes about it but it is the truth. I definitley never would have planned this for my life so this past week has really been a strength to my testimony that my Heavenly Father has a plan for me.

As I've reflected on everything that has happened this past week I'm positive for the future. Although I'm really going to miss life on the mountain I'm trying to focus on the new journey our lives can take. A week ago I figured I'd be living on the mountain at least for another 5 years but now life is an open book. I definitley am the type of person who likes to have every part of life planned out down to the last detail but I guess I'm supposed to learn that no matter how much I want to control things I can't always do it. So now I've got my seat belt buckled and I'll just hold on for the ride.

I hope you guys are okay! Good luck with your new course in life. I'm sure you'll miss the mountains, but that's nice that you can be closer to family now.

Jess,

We are definitely going to miss you guys here on the mountain but I agree with you this is all in the hands of our Heavenly Father. Even JayDee and I have been amazed at how everything has worked in your favor this past week. We believe that it is all for the best for you and your family. Just don't forget about us up here. If ever you need a place to stay call cuz you will always be welcome. Plus, as you know, there is the guest and bunk houses here in town that you can use!! Good luck with everything and keep up with the blog so we can keep up with all your changes!!

Hey now you're closer to Cort and me. And I plan on us spending a lot of quality time together! We have to play catch up for the last five years.
