I'm back!

Hey everyone,

     I finally came back to blog world! Haha, life got busy again, so I had to put this on delay. Things happened though while I was gone; my brother Chasen came back from the military for two weeks, and that was great to have him back, I wrote our family's annual Christmas letter for the first time and that was an adventure! It involved lots of digging into this past year's memories, which was quite enjoyable, we found a church that fits us, I found a bunch of adventures to go on this summer, and we decided that I'm going to a Technical School this year!

Because once your little brother gets taller than you, you can enforce the Piggyback Tax.

     That came as a bit of a surprise to me, as growing up, I had never planned on going.  Anywho, right now the plan is I'm graduating (or at least finishing High School) by April, then starting my three pre-req classes at a Technical School nearby for the Spring quarter through Running Start. After that I have all of my summer adventures (New York, cooking at camps, other camps, trip to Colorado) and then go back to School to become a Massage Practitioner. And I'm turning 18!

    It's quite a change from what I had always planned on doing once I finished High School (Sit in my room swathed in blankets, with thunder storms crashing outside. finishing my novels, drinking tea, eating chocolate and salad with my cat curled up by my feet, occasionally venturing out to socialize and cook stuff for the family, and have adventures. Haha, just kidding. My mom just read this and wanted to write what her plan had been for me, and trust me, we were on different tracks. Haha. :P ) as I never really had a huge plan, but figured I'd figure something out. But I like this plan. I've always been interested in Massage, and God's opened a lot of doors for me. It's exciting and slightly overwhelming all at the same time.

     It makes me grateful for God's plan, and the fact the He has one, and He knows what's going to happen. He makes everything beautiful in it's time. I love it. It can be hard letting go of the plans that we make, I personally tend to hold onto my plans until my knuckles turn white and I'm on the ground clawing to keep hold of it as it slips away, but God knows best, and it's so much better to just trust Him. Which is such a 'duh' thing that I feel really immature. I'm a silly little 17 year old girl. He's God, the Ruler and Creator of the Universe.
     Of course His plan is better.

    I have to go and work on school now, but I'll get another post up soon!

Blessings,
