The way I see it, the prophet has instructed us to keep journals. Since i'm on the computer so much, I figure why not keep on online journal. I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but you know it isn't really a big deal to me if they do or don't. I guess I just figured that I should be able to write somewhere. I've had a lot of thoughts on my mind lately. Being 18 can be a pretty important time in someone's life. People keep asking me what my plans are, and what i'm going to do, but I don't exactly have it worked out yet. Originally my plan was to go to school in Idaho with my brother and a lot of our friends, but then not to long ago, I heard he wanted to go to Utah when he comes home. He was kind of afraid that there wouldn't be much for him when he came home because all of his friends would be on missions then. Why he picked Utah, I don't know. Probably because a lot of his mission friends are from there or something. Then even a shorter time ago, he told us he got a job offer when he gets off his mission over there in Virginia. I'm really happy for him and everything, but what about all the plans before? So now what do I do? Is there a school on the East coast I can go to or I am suppose to go into the world without my brother? For all I know, I could be married by the time i'm 20. There are certain things about Washington that I love and I would miss terribly, but I don't feel like i'm needed here anymore. I say that keeping in mind the Best of EFY with Brad Wilcox where he told us that you have a purpose in every part of your life. There is a bigger reason here then just to get a body and be tested. It makes me wonder, if I do stay here, what is it that I still need to learn?
Well if there is anyone reading this who doesn't really know me all that well, my life is good. I've been blessed with a loving family, and a nice home. I have four brothers and sisters, 1 sister in-law and two brother's in-law, and one nephew. I was done with high school before everyone else my age. That was a bonus of not going to public school my junior and senior year. I have a couple dogs and cats. I am a Latter Day Saint and I absolutely love it! Right now i'm not going to college or anything. I'm just waiting to be able to start the next portion of my life.
I'm off for now
