New Beginnings!

As a lot of you know, my life path suddenly changed direction about a month ago. Now that the whirlwind of changing schools, majors, graduating, completely changing jobs, moving out for work, and finding housing in the fall has kind of died down, I can now say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! All that hard work, and decision making has paid off so well!

Although I NEVER would have seen my life path going this way, I know, now having been on this new path for a little bit, that it is absolutely and completely what I need to be doing and headed towards right now in my life. I could never have asked for anything better or more fun and rewarding!

I am now an Alumni of BYU-Idaho with my AS degree in General Science!

I quit working at Dairy Keen, and it was actually really hard to leave, but I was offered a job as a chef in a kitchen up at the Aspen Grove Family Camp (right above the Sundance resort), and it has been so much fun! It's definitely like a little culinary school for me--haha! I even get a little black chef's hat, smock (that white chef coat), and an apron. This weekend we cooked for a Youth Conference for about 350 people, and then we fed the staff. Let's just say, that's a LOT of food! It's really fun being under that kind of time crunch, and putting out food that looks and tastes super good! My bishop is my supervisor, and we have had a lot of fun! We (along with the four other chefs right now) keep it pretty light-hearted, and we crank some good tunes up while we work. Dancing, singing loud, and having fun is pretty much the heart of our work days. Although I either work at 6:30 am or 11:45 am, I get off by about 7:00 at the latest every day, and that leaves lots of time to hang out with the friends I'm making up there, go hiking in the dark (not a good idea...), or just sit outside and read.

So, what am I trying to say? Although sometimes moving forward in the dark is hard and scary, not knowing what comes next, when you fully put your faith in the Lord and trust that He has the best intent for you, it will ALWAYS work out, even better than you could have ever imagined it being.

Live. Love. Laugh. Grow.
