looking into the distance, but remembering what is behind me....

You know, its funny to me how life changes almost in an instant. Most of the time its for the worse when it changes so fast but this time i think its for the better. It seems like all of the sudden something has just clicked with in me. I have spent the last year avoiding the topic of moving on in life and graduating and and and.... but finally i feel "ready". I put quotation marks because its ready in a round about way. I dont know if i am prepared enough... but i know this is what i need and where im supposed to be. Im still scared out of my mind, but everything has just come together. I have known since last summer that I needed to be in Salt Lake and now that i am finally going its like everything in my life is just kind of lining up just right. I feel like its where the Lord wants/needs me. Who knows what will happen! Who knows what I will do while I'm there, or how long i will stay, but for now its what I'm doing! Even a few weeks ago i was really dreading having to let go of certain friends, and while im still not thrilled about saying goodbye, i know that its what i need! And i feel like i have finally finally finally gotten a bit of the closure i needed with someone in particular. It may not be what i want....but Im ok with it now... we both have so much ahead of us. There is a time and a season for everything (and probably everyone). Thank goodness for such wonderful memories and the wonderful people in my life! I cant wait for the many more to be made!! One of my favorite Rascal Flatts songs is called My wish....this is to all the people that i have to say good bye to.

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
