A Season of Change

So August seems to be the month of the most change.  Sometimes those changes bring about happy feelings but other times they seem to bring about changes that may not seem to make us the most happy.  However, as I have reflected a little bit on the changes that are happening this month, they seem to overall make life a little more happy.  While my life is not exactly the way I pictured it as a child, I am grateful for the wonderful things that I do have and the opportunities that lay ahead of me.

Things that I am sad to leave behind:

• I am leaving behind a great ward full of wonderful friends.
• I am moving a little bit farther from my family than I have ever lived before.
• I am leaving a great apartment with even greater roommates.  They have seriously been the best!

Things that I am excited about!

• I have some wonderful friends who are moving to the same area as me!
• I get to spend about 2 less hours a day in a car by myself.
• I have a wonderful apartment all to myself!
• I have the opportunity to make many new friends as well as keep the old ones.
• I have the opportunity to keep growing in my new job and take on new challenges as we take on more clients.

FINALLY the best change of all that has happened in my life is the addition of this precious little thing into my life.  She is adorable and I am excited to watch her grow up into a sweet little girl just like her mom.
