Typical New Year Post

            2014, another year come and gone, and it has been one to top them all! The year started off with me at home for my off track. I worked at Rock Island Elementary as a substitute para pro where I met some incredible little kids. I also got to make friends with a few wonderful teachers. I watched the Seahawks win the Super Bowl and then said goodbye to my teen years by turning 20.

            I went back to Rexburg for spring semester and got on Get Connected council where I became in charge of planning trainings for 218 people. I made some remarkable friends and laughed a lot. Rexburg flooded and I was able to see the Spirit of Ricks come alive on campus.

            Spring turned to summer and I came home where I worked at Leavenworth Properties and did a lot of house sitting. My car, Beatrice, died on me and I saw the freedom of driving drift out of sight.

            Summer ended and I headed back to Rexburg. I moved into a new apartment with some friends from my ward and it was the best decision I have ever made. Get Connected came in a whirlwind of 4 days and it was astonishing. I kept up volunteering with Student Support and was put on Student Ambassador council where I was in charge of tours for incoming students. Yet again, I made some more friends who have changed my life. Cheesy, I know, but very true. At the end of the semester, I was lost and didn’t really know what was next for me. But after a lot of prayer and doing all I could, I found my way. I was offered a job through Student Support and now have the opportunity to apply myself even more.

            This year was one of many blessings. I truly saw the hand of the Lord guiding me through every step and I realized a lot about my relationship with Him. This is a typical end-end-of-the-year post, but it shows what I’ve done and experienced in one years time. So many opportunities and blessings came and it taught me a lot. This year was one for the books and I’m so excited to see what 2015 is going to bring.
