Just Some Thoughts About The Future

I've been thinking a lot lately about whether majoring in Animal Science is really what I'm supposed to do.  I mean, I'm not going to lie, when I first started college, my only goal was to get married, drop out of school and have a family.  As I've started to take more classes for my major though, I have realized that it is truly what I'm passionate about!  I can't imaging myself doing anything else!  Living on a farm or ranch is hard work, there is no doubt about that.  I keep asking myself if that is really what I want for my whole life.

Honestly, I can't imagine living anywhere else, or doing anything else.  I have watched my parents and so many of my cousins struggle through hard times and I know that while it's hard, it has made them all stronger people!  I'm so thankful for all of the examples I have around me, especially my family members!   My dad always says that he is a teacher so that we can afford to live on a Ranch.  I know that he would rather be at home helping my mom, but for the time being, it's not possible.  I'm so thankful that my parents sacrifice so much for my family, so that we can live the way that we do!  

Two months are gone?

Wow, I can't believe that January is over and that my last blog post was before Thanksgiving...  Time just got away from me I guess :)  One third of my 4th semester at BYU-Idaho is already over!  It has really flown by, mostly because I have just been so busy!  I'm taking more credits this semester than any other semester (only by one), and I have been amazed at how much I can get done when I actually use my time, rather than wasting it!  I'm taking Chemistry this semester and I was really worried about it at the beginning but it's actually been going really well and I am feeling pretty good about it!  I feel so incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to come to BYU-Idaho and experience so many new things!  I have felt the hand of the Lord in my life soooo much this semester!  I know prayers are answered and that He TRULY cares for us!  My mom sent me this picture at the beginning of the semester when I was having a really hard time :)

I'm so thankful for my Heavenly Father and I know that he cares so much for me and wants what's best for me!  I am also soo thankful for my mom and dad who want the same for me!  They are such great examples to me!   On another note, I have gotten really good at getting dressed in the dark this semester since I have early classes every day!  haha :)  It's pretty depressing when I have already been to class and come home and all of my roommates are still in bed asleep...  But having classes early in the day has always worked better for me and this semester has been no different!  I am looking forward to the end of this semester, not because I want to leave Rexburg necessarily, but because it means my cousin and best friend will be getting home from missions!!!!  I'm sooo excited to see both Maddie and Maycee!  It feels like the past year and a little bit have gone super fast some days, and super slow other days, but I'm just super excited to see them...  (as I already said...)  I'm really excited to see what the next few months bring!
