Life seems to be ever changing for me. Ups, and downs, and lots and lots of laughing. Turns out Cedar City just wasnt for me. Im not sure what it was... perhaps the lack of friends, lack of job, and lack of spiritual comfort. I went on a backpacking trip to the high Uintas to a place called amethyst lake and I was pondering a lot why I was so unhappy and what I could possibly do to change it. I met some wonderful people and had time to contemplate next to a picturesque lake of turquoise with the wind whipping and the earthy smells of my surroundings to help give me clarity of mind. I made no hasty decisions while in the mountains those two days, but it was a step in the right direction. The day after we got down from the mountain was Sunday. I went to stake conference with my friend since 6th grade Allyson Robison. While I was there I was getting mad promptings that I should move to Provo and be in this ward. What ran through my mind was "Yeah spirit... ok... calm down, how am i going to do that??" After a few more promptings and revelations, I knew I needed to just listen. So I did! The next day I found a job, a place to live, and arranged my classes to that I could finish them online.
Life has been so good since I decided to move here to Provo. Im so much happier. Everyday has an adventure in it. I rock climb, mountain bike, go to open mic night at the Velour and spend good time with friends. I have goals and dreams of traveling still... that itchiness in my heart has not gone away as far as my need to travel and move goes... but now I actually feel like its attainable. Almost like I have moved to the land of opportunities. ALWAYS listen to the spirit, even if it tells you to move to happy valley!! There must be a reason they call it that, right? :)
