I am totally loving this state. It is green everywhere, and I am not talking a weird green, but big, bushy, leafy trees, beautiful rolling hills of leafy crops, and lakes everywhere....AH!!! So gorgeous!!!!And so much space! It takes us about 30-45minutes to get anywhere, besides the local walmart. haha...
And the people are so down to earth and friendly!! I think I like this part of the country, seriously. I wouldn't mind settling in this part of the US somewhere. Of course, it IS August....which means its probably the nicest time of year....haha! I would NOT want to be here in the Winter, that is for sure! I have heard word that it gets 60 below here. NO thanks! But I am not exactly in love with California either, sadly....its not my favorite place, besides the fact that most of my family is there.
The reason I came out here is to support my sister and her husband as they went through the temple to be sealed together forever. In our church, we believe that families can be together, FOREVER..:) how cool is that??? But it has to be done in the right way by someone who has the Priesthood authority to do so, and the people involved have to be living their lives in such a way to be allowed to do it. And once it is done, they have to continue to live their lives according to God's commandments, or else they will forfeit that eternal promise and covenant (that 2-way promise between God and them)Anyway, it was a beautiful day watching them get sealed, and when they included River (their 15 month old) and put her hand on top of theirs, oh it was so sweet. I almost started to cry right there. I love that little girl and now she is going to be blessed more than I think any of us even comprehend.
I am having second thoughts about the MPA program, also. I really do want to get my Master's degree...and I feel like if the economy was better this would be a perfect degree for me.....I am just worried about finding work with it. :/ I mean, I would love to just marry some dude who made enough money to support me and our children...honestly, that would be the best job ever. I could spend time with my kids all day....though I know I would want something else to focus on also so that I can stay sane. Not that kids aren't great....but I would need something to keep my mind occupied in other ways, keep a balance in life. I was hoping that this degree would put me on the road to working until I start a family, and then provide a way to contribute myself and my abilities to my community. So what I am going to do is go to classes for awhile and decide how I feel about it from there. I will talk to some of the administration and find out if this degree will be any good once I get out of there. It isn't super expensive, but it does cost money still. I don't want to back out after all the work I put into getting here, but if it is not looking good I guess I may have to. Oy, my stomach hurts just thinking about the unknown!
Anyways, have a great day and I'll talk to you all later, eh!
