It Is Worth It!

Yesterday, one of my best friends in the entire word started a blog!  Here's a link to  Maddie's Blog !  It looked sooo stinking cute so I was trying to change the background on mine.  I really am not very tech savvy and needless to say, my bog looks the same :)  I did find out how to get links to my Facebook and Pinterest accounts but that is the only change.  Anyways, this summer has been full of firsts for me.  My first real job, my first time being away from my family for an extended period of time, my first time babysitting all day, everyday, my first time living somewhere other than Weiser, my first real time going to a singles ward, my first time missing our cattle drive, my first time not having to fix fence in our mountain pasture, my first time not being in Weiser for the Fiddle Festival (thank goodness!), my first time missing the Washington County fair(not by choice), my first time registering for college classes, my first time eating at like seven different restaurants and there are more that I can't think of right now!  I'm so thankful for the opportunity that I have had thus far to experience so many new things and to learn how to deal with missing things that I am so familiar with.  I am not for a second going to say that it has been easy, because this has probably been one of the hardest things in my entire life!  But I wouldn't change a minute of it!  Not a minute of blown out diapers, or spit-up encrusted clothes, or a fussy baby.  Not a minute of nasty dry skin because of how hard the water is here.  All of those things are worth it because I get to see this adorable face EVERYDAY!

And because I get to spend time with my incredible sister-in-law!  I'm glad that I had the circumstances necessary for me to be able to move 3 days after graduation!  This is probably an experience that I will not have again, and I'm just sooo glad that I was able to have it this summer!
