Welcome and "I Moved!"

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am Sarah, and I will be your host for this blogging experience. Blog Away. I wanted to start a new blog for my new way of life, and I wanted to start using blogger.com because it was more efficient for my computer, Macky (Yes, I named my macbook Macky. If you hear me state that name, that is what I am referring to). This passed year, I moved up to Logan, Utah to attend Utah State University. I found my major up there: English Education, and I found out a lot about myself. 1. It was my first time moving away from home; therefore, I became more independent. 2. I lived with roommates who taught me how to do a lot of different things such as cooking, cleaning, socializing, and so much more. I am going to go on a slight tangent. Last year, I went through a deep struggle with someone that I had met and began dating. A lot went down between him and I, and I have been in a tussle ever since. It's been a hard little while, but it isn't a big deal anymore. I was just letting you know this tidbit of information because of it's pertinence to number two on my list. 3. I went to school. I LOVE school. School is my favorite thing, and that is one out of many reasons why I want to teach. School may have kicked my butt up in Logan, but I know for a FACT that I will go back. It will be a day to celebrate. 4. I learned to love again. After what happened to me, which I briefly stated above, I was broken and shattered from the inside out. I learned that it was okay to be me, and that there were people who loved me and wanted me to be the best. 5. I learned that I am one of the most stubborn people on the planet. I sometimes need to find out the hard way about certain things, and I should STOP IT! 6. I learned to feel and understand my feelings better. These included my emotions and spiritual feelings. 7. There is much more I learned, but it is about three in the morning and my brain is kind of thinking but is wondering around in the process. I recently moved down to Salt Lake. When I say "recently" I mean, "I just moved to Salt Lake yesterday!" It was a hard decision to make, but there were many things I needed to fix and I couldn't do it on my own up in Logan. One of those things deals with finances, the other deals with school, one deals with work, another deals with the religious side of me (I want and desire more than ANYTHING right now to be a religious person. I want to be a righteous individual, and I want to choose the right and be a better person). I will boldly tell you now that I am LDS. I want more than anything in the world to please our Father in Heaven, and to do His will and not my own. That's what I am all about is giving my will to the Lord. I have choices to make, and I know Heavenly Father will help me with those choices. That is all, just wanted to tell you now rather than later. Logan is wonderful, but I felt the more I lived there, the more confined I felt. I HATE feeling that way. I had a very quirky experience while driving from Logan to Salt Lake one time. I started my drive from Logan around 3:30 or 4:00 in the evening and realized a little too late, that I was going to be in Salt Lake in the middle of rush hour. I thought to myself "Man, did I pull a stupid", but I continued homeward bound. As I got into the Salt Lake Valley, I came to a stop on the freeway. I was expecting this, and as I sat there in traffic a thought emerged. Oh, my goodness. I had missed the traffic. CRAZY, right? That was the beginning of my decision process. The decision process halted and was brought to light again by a friend. This is not just any friend though, she is my sister from another mister! You have NO idea. Her and I have always been with each other through thick and thin. She is amazing, and I want her to know that. Her and I were chilling like villains one day. We went out to eat and talked our faces off like normal. In that conversation we had while we were eating, she persuaded me to move. I love her for it (and of course, you ALL must know, that I love her for a LOT more than just that, it's just a figure of speech). She was the icing on my cake that I had tried to perfect for a couple of months. I love you sweet potato! I am glad to be home and to have a home where people love me and support me no matter what. Yes, sometimes they will tell me: "I told you so." "Why?" "[Insert yelling here]" BUT I know that they, my friends and family, will love me no matter what I do. I love them too. I am so grateful for them, and am very grateful for them turning their worlds upside down to fit me in it. Thank you! Please know that I love you! I have poured to you a vast majority of how I am feeling, and my thoughts. Of course, not all of them can be inserted here at this time, and that's where you come in. Yes, you, reader, I am talking to you. Come back and visit me. Insert comments, have conversations with me. I feel like I am pretty easy going and fun. I love to chat. Continue to visit my blog, and to have fun. Welcome! Also, I have a couple of things you can find me on. Twitter: sarsimmo Instagram: ssimmo50 You're welcome to find me. May your day be filled with pure inspiration, awesomeness, and kindness. Talk to you soon! Sarie
