Where We Gonna Go From Here

See these girls?
Yes, they are beautiful, amazing, nice, caring, hilarious, talented, forgiving, and so much more.
And yes, living with them has been two of the best years of my life.

I guess change is a natural thing though huh?

I think i'm learning that a lot these days.

It's weird to think that I didn't even know these girls a few years ago and yet they have completely changed who I am. Little did I know when I came to good ol BYU that I would meet girls who would make me change the way I look at life.

And It's weird to think that two years ago I was saying goodbye to my best guy friends in the world and I thought my life was over. And now they are almost home... Oh man that will be a good day.
As I look back on this semester I can't even put into words how far i've come. I began this year of school having no idea what my major was let alone what I wanted to do with my life. And now I am doing sociology with my minors in nonprofit management and international development, and I don't think I could have found a better fit for me. Now I am going to Thailand in NINETEEN days!!! Ahhhh 19 days! Now I know (sort of) what I want to do with my career. And now I am figuring out how to be good at college. Half way done I guess I better be figuring it out! And all of this happening in a matter of a few months.

If months can change me so much, what about years?!

If anything, I am learning that these changes are making me better. It just means I have completed the road i'm on and am ready for my next one. It sure doesn't mean I mastered the other road, just that i'm ready for the next jump. And boy is it a jump! Not a little step, or tip toe or hop to the next road. A full on jump. A jump across the ocean for that matter!

By no means do I have my life figured out. And honestly, the more I figure out, the more uncertainty that arises in other areas. Hate that. But at least i'm growing through it all. I am learning about myself and the world around me. I am growing more than I ever thought possible in my small 20 years of life.

Boy am I ready for the adventures I have ahead of me. I constantly ask, Where am I going to go from here? Every day seems to take me somewhere I never thought possible the day before. Sometimes I feel like I go backwards a bit, hopefully that's natural. But it's all part of this crazy journey called life.

Who knows where I am going to go from here? Pretty sure 3 months ago I had no idea I was going to Thailand. Pretty sure one day could change everything. Oh man life is exciting.

I have to keep reminding myself that change is a good thing. It is so hard to end this stage of my life. Living with these 5 girls has been Heaven sent. But I guess it's time for me to share them with others. And i've got me some Thai people to meet! 19 days!!!!!
