Who would have thought that coming to college would teach me so much about life. I guess I should have guessed but I didn't do I have been pleasantly surprised. Also I can't remember what I wrote last time so this might be a little repeat, I don't know :)
Lesson One: The priesthood makes such a difference in the home/apartment. I thought that since I had 3 sisters moving into an apartment of only girls wouldn't be all that different. It's different in a lot of ways but one that stood out to me this week was the lack of priesthood. It is real power that can be felt in homes. I have never not had it, so I never knew the difference until now.
Lesson Two: Friends are an interesting thing. What is a friend? Knowing that can change your whole outlook. I thought friends meant people who you could share everything with and never get sick of each other. So if that is the definition of friends then my only friends are my family. Which is awesome but when they all live 5-24 hours away it kind of leaves you lonely. However, if a friend is someone you can say hello to on campus and share a couple laughs with then I have friends all over the place here. I wouldn't call them bosom-buddies but I'm happy to see them and they are happy to see me when we meet.
Well, that's all for today! I love where I am and all the new things that I am learning. TTFN

Well, its been awhile...
So I haven't blogged in an eternity. It would be fun to post pictures but I haven't taken any so no pictures today.
College is...different than what I expected. Its great and I'm learning more than I thought was possible but tis also more work than I thought was possible. I enjoy the challenge on most days. On the days that I don't enjoy it so much I just have to remind my self that the hard never last.
There is such a wonderful spirit up here. Even though I am stressed, I never feel fear. I feel calm and reassured that I am in a special place. It's kind of weird to fell stress and peace at the time but I think that comes from knowing that I am where the Lord wants me to be.
My ward is good. It's older people which is strange but still good. I am playing ultimate frisbee this semester and my team name is Titans! Katey's legend lives on up here so I have some pretty big shoes to fill.
I'm grateful for my family and their love. I might not have made it through that first week without the phone calls and texts! At least, it definitely would not have gone as smooth.
Right now is such an exciting time in my life. I can't believe its real and it's going by so fast! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for me.
