The Cat is Out of The Bag!

So those few of you who read my blog know that I have been trying to decide whether or not to stay at SUU or to transfer to UVU. Well, I am happy to announce that after nearly 4 months of prayers, scripture study, church talks/lessons, fasting, and meetings with school advisors... I have FINALLY reached a decision.

I decided back on March 18, but wanted to be certain before anyone knew. So I took the last few weeks to confirm my choice with my Heavenly Father. And I am certain, I know what I need to do now.

........................................

Drum roll please....

I will be attending UVU this fall to finish out my degree in Elementary Education! Yup, I will be a Wolverine once again. Only this time I will be a current student Wolverine rather than concurrent enrollment.

Alot of people have asked me throughout this process if I feel I made the right choice last year by choosing to come down here. And I do. I don't regret my decision. I wish the outcome of my decision would have been happier, but I do not regret it. I learned and experienced many things by being down here for school.

• The few people I have met, I am grateful that I got to meet them.
• I have grown so much closer to my Father in Heaven throughout this last year, my testimony has grown tremendously and I have grown a deeper love for our glorious gospel that we are so blessed to have in our lives.
• I have watched our gospel brighten up someones life, just to watch her fall back into darkness.
• I have witnessed that even though I do have a bad condition of SAC (if you are lost, then just laugh or ask Shayda), there are others who are way worse off than me.
• I have grown attached and dependent upon my phone and facebook. I get so annoyed with how lazy we are, but when I am at school my phone keeps me connected to my sister and mom; and facebook keeps me connected with friends.
• I have had experiences that I will keep with me, I have learned lessons that will help me with future advisors, roommates, singles wards, and probably many other things.
• I have learned that I really can be a clean freak. I never though it possible, but I get so irritated with dirty stuff now.
• These are just a few but there are so many more.

I am a firm believer in "Everything Happens For a Reason." This thing happened for many, and I am sure that later on down the road I will be able to look back on it and see even more reasons that I may have overlooked or been unaware of.

There are so many things, big and small, that I have learned this year. I am grateful for this year even though it wasn't the funnest thing I've done, or the easiest, or even the most dry eyed, I am still grateful that I did it. I am grateful that I do not regret my choice to come down here for this year.

I DO BELIEVE that BYU was not where I needed to be this year, I DO BELIEVE that SUU was where I needed to finish off my associates, and I DO BELIEVE, I DO KNOW that UVU is where I am meant to finish off my bachelors.
