Headed to the Woods

Well, tomorrow is the first day of my 3-shift internship. I am really excited to get started. All this waiting around has almost killed me, I am horrible with anticipation. I hope that everyone at home is doing well, and know that I miss you horribly. But I am doing well with things out here, at least, well enough on my 4th day in St. George. I know God has put me here to do His work and I just have to run the race he has set forth for me. 

I do ask that if you have time, say some prayers for me that I am able to do the hikes and work on my "hard skills" and excel with the clients and building relationships with them. I will update again when I get out of the woods and have time. 

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers! They are well received!

I fill the sadness already

Mom is leaving Utah tomorrow afternoon. I can already feel the tears coming. I am excited to start my job and get going, but I will really miss mom and saying goodbye will be difficult for me. The two of us have a bond that is hard to match between mothers and daughters. We have been through so much together, it is hard to imagine going through all of this without her being here. I know I will flourish in my new setting, but it is hard starting out on my own. So, say some prayers for me that I can go on with strength. 

On the Road with Mom

Mom and I are in Flagstaff Arizona this morning making our final trek to St. George this afternoon. It has been a long drive out here and we have seen some great things and some ugly roads! I am looking forward to getting to Utah and trying to get settled a little bit. I start my first shift on Tuesday August 26, so it's coming soon. I thought I would put some pictures up from my training week. There aren't many, but I will add a few so you can get an idea of what I will be surrounded by.

Leaving Nashvegas

Mom and I are leaving in a few minutes to head out to Utah. I have said my goodbyes to everyone around town that won't be able to come to Utah and it has been exhausting. I am excited and ready for my new job, but it is hard to leave Franklin a place that has become my home. I hate to let anyone down, but the hardest person to say goodbye to was Luke. I have watched him grown from the womb and it will be hard missing chunks of his life. I will update more once we get there.
