last night we celebrated my good friend landon's birthday. i remember last year celebrating his birthday! agh time is going by too too fast! i need to push pause or something. i know that life brings new oppurtunities with every phase but sometimes it is so hard to see the last one come to an end. in my earlier years of college i was meeting so many people all the time. now my number of friends are thinning out a little. luckily i still have a small group of close friends whom i adore and love and for me that is good enough!
this year has started off a little rough. all summer i was so excited to come back up to school. logan has become my home and utah state has really become a big part of my life. even though summer was great i was just itching to be back in my element again. unfortunately this year took a different turn than i was expecting it to. i guess life does that to you sometimes. you make plans and you have a vision of how your life is going to be and then one incident changes the whole course. like i have said before i don't believe in fate and destiny but i believe in choices and oppurtunities. when one door closes another opens and with our experiences comes strength and growth. i have to remember this concept, but sometimes it is just hard to. it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. trials make you stronger. right? haha at least that is what people keep tellin me.
in times of doubt and trials that is when you depend on others to pick you back up. i have the best family and friends in the whole world. thank goodness for friends. i know god watches over me and looks out for me because he has surrounded me with such amazing people.
