Back to Poky

Well I promised myself I would be better at this blogging business but it seems that I was mistaken.  I am really gonna try! A lot of new things has happened I feel like. My life is kinda crazy right now. Crazy as in I'm not sure what I'm doing with it, I'm just going with the flow.  The only things I'm sure of at the moment is I'm going to go to college, not at Boise State, but at ISU.  I guess I just like college hopping, or I can't seem to figure out where I am supposed to be.  I loved Utah State while I was down there but it just wasn't for me.  I decided that Boise State had a pretty good program for Athletic Training so I decided I would move up there and go to college in the fall.  I moved up there the beginning of May.  I really did enjoy Boise. My apartment was awesome! I lived right across from the stadium and a bike ride away from downtown.  My apartment also sat on the greenbelt so it was easy access to get anywhere. Running and biking on it was a blast too.  It was also fun to be around the family up there and I liked all of my jobs, but I couldn't shake the feeling like this still wasn't right.  Even before I moved up there I had a little doubt about going up there, but since the plan was already in motion I decided to shrug it off and ignore my little feelings.  I decided I should pray about it because I was at a loss for what I was supposed to do.  I felt like the logical thing to do was to stay in Boise.  I had 3 jobs and all my things were up there and it was working out pretty well.  But one day at work I was just thinking about nothing, hoping somebody would drowned because lifeguarding is super boring at times, and I had the strangest feeling like I should move back to Pocatello.  I thought it was a kind of crazy idea, but for some reason it seemed right.  I prayed a little more and felt like it was what I was supposed to do.  But the logical thing was obviously staying in Boise.  My dad then called me a day later and was talking to me and he asked if I was going to come home.  I was a little taken back at first because we hadn't talked about it at all.  I talked to my mom and she said they were having some feeling like Boise wasn't right and that I needed to come home.  They said it was completely my decision but they could tell I wasn't happy.  Which I really wasn't.  I tried to pretend I was but deep down I knew Boise wasn't right.  I talked to my parents for another week or two and then finally decided to pack up and head home.  I told all my bosses that I was leaving and I came home the next week.  My parents were going to California for my aunts wedding so I decided I would go with them.  We just got back from California yesterday and here I am, sitting in my kitchen in Poky.  I am going to go get my stuff in Boise soon and move into my parents basement.  So all in all I really have no idea what I'm doing but I think Poky is where I belong. Which is pretty ironic because I always have wanted to be as far away from here as I could get.  Weird how things work out.  I am happy to be back.  My singles ward is awesome and I get to play with my cat Pepper everyday!  I am also so excited to go to Island Park!! It is seriously the best place on Earth!!

The last year has been pretty crazy.  I have moved from Poky to Logan to Boise and then back to Poky, my hair has grown a few more inches, I realized I love zucchini and guacamole, and I realized that Heavenly Father has a plan for us and we have to trust him.  I love my life and am so blessed to have an amazing family and amazing opportunities in store for me!! My next adventure will be to go skydiving for the third time and get trained to scuba dive...and go to Australia....not really but that would be awesome!!! Love you all!
