From the East to the West

Moving out to Utah was a huge decision! And it is far away from my family... 2,000 miles far away to be pretty accurate. But it's where I needed to end up to open up the next chapter of my life!

We packed up the family car, and Drove... yeah.. we drove.. 2,000 miles.. to Orem, Utah.. LONGEST TRIP OF MY LIFE.

This is the last picture I took from my little small town back in Kentucky. Look it up, it was voted The Most Beautiful Small Town in America. My last walk down main street before I left it. Never thought that i'd miss this little town, but I'm on to new things :)



 These two pictures were THE WORST part of the journey, don't let the pretty pictures deceive you.... Kansas... holy moley... Kansas NEVER ended. And it was all flat boring farmland. No cities. No nothing. No exaggeration, Kansas felt like an eternity to get through. Not to mention we got attacked by a huge hail storm with jumbo hail bouncing all off of our car in a Walmart parking lot. 

After Kansas, we stopped in Colorado to take a break from years of driving at some of our extended family's house. Thank goodness we got to be out of that car.

Took off again.. with the destination only 7 hours ahead!

Getting closer!! The abundance of canyons and mountains were a good sign that Utah was coming up soon.


FINALLY!! After days of driving and traveling, I was in the place where I'd start something new! And I couldn't be happier! Seeing that sign was so exciting! I'd made it! 
I'm so so grateful for my family for making that journey for me to take me so far away, even though they had to drive back home a couple weeks after, I'm glad they always support me!

2,000 miles, and many states later... I've got things to do and new things to discover here.

Letting Go of Regrets

Image
The past couple of weeks I found that I had been having a difficult time, kind of beating myself up; feeling full of regrets and "would have's" and "could have's". Thinking back on the last 3 roller coaster years of my life and thinking of all of the trials I have been put through. Hearing people talk about it all and bring it up to me, I found myself getting so frustrated. I found myself putting the blame on me. Thinking :  "If I would have chosen a different path, I could have avoided all of this pain." "If I would've chosen differently, maybe I would have ended up with the right person from the start." "If I would have left sooner, I would not have gotten hurt." "If I would have stood up for myself sooner, I could have avoided the mistreatment." "If I would have, then I could have..." All of these thoughts and more just circling my mind over and over; wishing I could go back in tim

He Put a Ring on it

Image
Many people have not yet heard the story about how James popped the big question.... So... here it goes.  How James pulled off the world's biggest surprise: Last Sunday evening, James said that we should do something fun the next day before he had to work. It had been awhile since we had been able to go on a nice date together.... He also asked me if I wanted to go Ring Shopping as a part of our date too.  I looooved that idea. We had never gone looking at rings together before, so I was over the moon about the idea! So.... Monday comes and we head out to go to lunch at Red Fuego {a favorite of ours} After lunch we went to 4 or 5 different ring stores around town and it was a blast. Our future was becoming even more real as we experienced choosing rings that we liked together.  After ring shopping, we had some time before James had to go to work. It was a nice day out, so we decided to go for a walk in downtown Provo and around the Provo City Center Temple {s
