On this, my last day in Logan, I want to talk about what I
have learned in five years. Five years ago around this time I was a senior in
high school sitting in on college day. I thought I wanted to go to Snow. I was convinced
that that was the right place for me. After I sat in on the presentation for
Snow College I knew it was the wrong place for me. My friends suggested we go
to the Utah State presentation. Honestly I thought USU and U of U were the same
place. That shows how much I know. After five minutes I know that is where I needed
to be. As they say the rest is history.
While in Logan I was mainly going to school. I have loved my
time being an Aggie (once an Aggie always an Aggie). I have gotten a great education
and grown up a ton. I would not be where I am today without the people I have
been blessed to meet in Logan. These people are who I really want to talk about
today. There are four people that have
come in to my life in Logan and my life will never be the same because of them.
The first person is one that will probably surprise her.
This person was meant to be in my life. We have worked in multiple church
callings together. We have also worked together. This girl is an amazing person
and she will never really know how much I truly look up to here. This person is
a living and breathing example of a disciple of Jesus Christ. I don’t talk to her as much as I would like to
but I truly home to stay in contact with her and I wish her all the best.
Number one of my four (in more particular order) is Elise Frederickson. Thank
you for all that you have done.
Second and third go hand in hand. These people are angles in
my life. They answer more of my prayers than they would ever know. I want to
thank them for being so in tune with the spirit that they were able to bless my
life so much. In the last two years whenever I felt like I could not handle
life anymore, or when I was going to break down. All I had to do was show up at
your door and in one hour (or five) life was manageable again. These two
individuals see the best in me and give me confidence. Unfortunately for them
they will never be able to get a way for me even if they try. If they have not
guessed yet number two and three are Tiff and Curtis. Please know that you mean
more to me than you will ever know. Thank
you for all you do.
Last but not least this person is my partner in crime. My
first roommate, we lived in that same city for nine months and from them we may
have lived apart but we will always be best friends. My children will think of
her as an aunt. I have not been a very good friend to you lately but I know
that no matter what you will be there when I need you. I hope you know that I will
always be there when you need me.
Jessica you are the best! Thanks for all you do.
Over all I have been truly blessed. My time in Logan has been a life changing experience.
I am so excited to move home and be with my family but at the same time I am
not ready for this part of my life to end. Today will be a hard day, but it
will be another beginning in my life. Just because there is an ending coming
does not mean that there is not another beginning starting. I look forward to
what will happen next in my life and I want to thank all of the people who have
touched my life in the last five years. Although I only mentioned four people
there are countless people that have taught me lessons.
No matter what happens next...Life Goes On.
