Holy Cow

So, I am officially having my first "Holy Cow" moment. (I believe in my head I didn't say cow...)

I am graduating in a little over two weeks. From College... with a degree...

I am getting married in less than two months. Teaven and I have been together for 5 years on May 4, and we are finally getting married!

We are moving to Korea in 3 months. umm.. Can you say crazy? I'm leaving everything and everyone I know and love (except Teaven) to embark on this adventure that God has called us to. I'm excited, nervous, sad, and pretty much any other emotion similar to that.

When did I grow up? Wasn't I a freshman just a little while ago?

In no way, shape, or form am I upset about any of these things. I would never want to go back and be a freshman again. I am so happy with my life, my future. This will just be a very prayerful time as I start this journey....as we start this journey.

A New Adventure

I have some VERY exciting news to share... Teaven and I will be moving to Korea in July!!! We are so blessed to have been given this opportunity to go teach in another country and so excited for the adventure that is to come. We received an information packet this morning telling us all the things we will need to know to adjust to life in Korea... -Bring birth control -Bring deodorant because Koreans don't have sweat glands (who knew?) -Learn to use chopsticks Those are only a few from a very long list of things. So, needless to say, our next three months will be JAM PACKED with preparations for this new journey. It's slowly starting to sink in and become real.. I haven't cried yet.. but I know the tears will come.. especially when I think about the fact that I will miss my little sister's graduation. Graduation in May Wedding in June Korea in July Like I said, JAM PACKED... Will you just look at these pictures from the city we will be living in? Isn't it gorgeous? Man, God is so so so good!

Birthdays and Interviews

I am so excited to write this blog right now because I have so much wonderful news to share with you all.

First things first, my birthday weekend was fabulous... minus my lovely cold on Sunday. Friday night, I went to the drive-in with my family. It was my first time doing anything like that. We took the truck, blew up an air mattress to put in the bed of the truck, and had lawn chairs. It was such a relaxing time with my family. We watched Hop and True Grit. Hop was really funny. I was impressed because I didn't think it would be all that great.

Saturday I went to the Temple Job Fair that was more depressing than encouraging. I kept overhearing people talking about how they just got laid off. Let's hope somebody saw me and liked me. Saturday night Teaven and his step-mom took me out to Razzoo's for dinner. It was good, and we had a lot of fun. Then, we went back to her house and hung out some more.

This week has been entirely too long. It feels like it's been more like 3 weeks rather than 1.

BUT, for the best news of all....

Teaven and I had interviews with a school in Korea last night. Yes, we got a phone call from someone in Korea! We are really excited about the possibility of moving there to teach. We'll see what happens. It's all in God's hands. He knows what is best for us.

Maybe

Maybe someday I'll see this place and have fond memories. Maybe I'll come back like all the little old ladies who want to see the rooms they lived in. Maybe I'll smile. But for now, I literally dread walking through that glass door, down the long hallway with the peculiar smell. My shoulders collapse in defeat as I turn the key and push the door open into a room that will only be mine for a few weeks longer. I will get through this. It's not the end of my life, just the end of a journey. A journey I am happy to end. 34 days, and I walk across that stage into a new journey. A journey that brings so much happiness. I. can. make. it. I. will. make. it. Because Jesus has a purpose.
