So this past little while, I have been contemplating my past and have been doing, well it's not soul searching, but that comes the closest I guess. I cannot believe how wonderful my life is turning out. There are so many things that I dreamed of doing and never really thought they would come to pass...(inside joke), but many of them have, and are "coming to pass." After high school, I went to London for a month and enjoyed spending time with my Mom, Liz, and seeing all the amazing things the British have to offer. Then I came back and went to College @ Dixie. Then an amazing experience happened when I was 19. I was with a bunch of friends and several of the guys were either getting ready to go on a mission or had just gotten back from their mission. So we started talking about missions. I kinda put it out there that if I wasn't married, I would like to serve. Ryan, looked at me and said, "Naw, you'll be married by then." A really strong feeling came over me and I knew I was going to serve a mission. So in Dec of my 20th birthday, I got everything together so that I could turn my papers in 3 months before my birthday. I got my call in May, and was called to the Texas San Antonio Mission, Spanish Speaking. That was the last place I ever thought I would be called to, and really had to pray to know that, that was where I was supposed to go. And of course it was, I had never had more feelings of joy, happiness and hard learned growth, as I did while I was on my mission. I had some experiences that changed me forever and the better. So that dream was fulfilled and another was just around the corner, I got to go to travel a lot. Seeing Dallas, Washington D.C., The Sacred Grove, Niagara Falls, having fun in one of my favorite cities: Las Vegas going back to my mission in Austin and San Antonio, and going back to where I grew up in California, then ending with a trip to Europe (Germany and the Netherlands) seeing friends and my brother. Then with school, finding the right school that fits my area of emphasis in communications (Not Journalism). Then seeing things for my family work out has been the biggest blessing of them all. We have so much fun together and they are my best friends what person wouldn't want that dream fulfilled? To be able to jam out with their parents and syblings and to just talk and go places even in town and make an adventure out of it there isn't much more I could ask for in that department. I know I am rambling, but Sometimes its just nice to put it out there that with friends and family: LIFE is truely Wonderful!

Good for you! When you get married, it's important to remember those dreams you've fullfilled. It's makes you feel so much more ready for the next step.
I am so happy for you. Keep chasing those dreams!
