Change is Coming or is it Here?

So many things in my life are changing now. Decisions have been made (at least I hope so) and things are just changing in general. I decided that I want to go to New Zealand for my second Cohort of the Elementary Education program which meant my schedule had to line up with that semester being in the winter seeing as they only do that in the winter. I just didn't feel right about delaying a semester of entering into the program and then going and I didn't want to not go on a study abroad during my college career which would mean I would "take a semester off" by going and then my schedule would line up for New Zealand anyway. So finally I came to the decision that I would just move graduation up.
BYU, years ago changed its schedule so we now have 3 semesters... 2 semesters 2 terms meaning you can go to school year round. Well as much as I hate the thought of summer school... Summer School Here I come! I decided to do the first semester of my program in the spring and summer making my 2nd cohort line up with winter semester. Hard to believe but I could graduate Fall 2011. Crazy in my mind. We shall see if that will really occur... But if all works to my advantage meaning I actually get into the program... Get all the must take classes in the spring and pass them all... Oh and being accepted to the New Zealand Study abroad... I should procced with my plan. So Change #1 Not going home for summer once again.

Change #2
Michelle, My roommate is engaged. Now she will be moving out and we will get a new roommate. I will be moving over to her old spot to live with Rachel. I'm excited to live with her, sad to leave Cierra.
( Here is a picture we took the sunday after the engagement.)


Change #3 came about because finally Alex or I should say Elder Jones, was cleared to leave the MTC and head to Dallas. It was weird to go to work the next week and realize that he is gone and I wouldn't see him again. It is a relief to not have the wonder if he would come in and start my heart a beating. Needless to say... He is now officially where he is suppose to be. Doing the work of the Lord and I am so happy for him. Today I received the first letter with Dallas Texas up in the corner. That made it reality that he isn't still walking around the MTC.

The weather would be Change #4. Finally last night it began snowing. I really like winter but sometimes I hate it cause it is so cold. Might as well have snow though if it is going to be cold.

Change #5
Thanksgiving in California instead of Denver. Now we are traveling to Cali for Thanksgiving with Jeff and Melanie. Jill lived in Denver and we went there. Now Cali to spend it with family.

Change #6... Can't think of any good ones. I'll let ya know if I think of one.

Life wouldn't be life if it weren't always changing.
