I am trying to get ready to move which includes tons of packing and saying goodbye to the people we hold dear in our hearts. This is very difficult for me because part of the reason I love it so much here is the people we have met. We have only 10 days left and as the time passes It becomes more of a reality that I may not see these people for a very long time and in some cases ever again.
There are even people that we haven't had the chance to get to know in the last two years that are taking the opportunity now to get to know us, which I think is amazing. I have grown so much as a person being here, facing some fears and being independent (which most people who know me well will say I did not need help doing). I know I will be leaving this place with a renewed lease on life and a different outlook as to where our journey will take us. I have grown as a mother, as a daughter, and as a freind but most of all while I've been here I have discovered that I have self worth. I am a different person then I was when I moved here and for that reason the journey has been more then worth it. I will leave with treasured gifts of love from so many, that I can carry with me forever. But most of all I will leave with something I need to be sucessful and happy in life, and that is the knowledge that I am important in the eye's of my Heavenly Father. I can't say where life will lead me none of us can. For now it is leading me back to Vermont. Utah will always be a place that I call one of my homes though. I have family here now. As I move forward I will do so with a posative attitude and plan to no matter what life throws in my path, stay strong and "find joy in the journey"! Thank you to all of those who have been here for me both in Utah and Vt. I appreciate the support in the decisions I have made. Thank You!
