Officialness (is that even a word?!)

Okay, so I guess by posting something here, it makes it official, right? Well, that's what I am about to do concerning the recent BIG decision I have made for my life! I am moving to.........Idaho! Yep it's true! Specifically, Idaho Falls. I will be moving in with our good friends the Lee's who my family has been friends with since I was 11 years old. We met them in Texas and the rest is history. I am very excited cause they are a GREAT family! They are nice enough to even let me live there for free! I will have cooking duty every now and then but that won't bother me cause boy do I love to cook, and there will be no more cooking for just myself (man that can be so lame sometimes) so that is a plus. All of this came together while I was visiting them last week. I really didn't have the intention of seeing if I would want to move up there, it sort of just happened and I know it's the right thing to do cause of how fast it all fell into place. I found a few ads in the paper for some jobs so I updated my resume and faxed them in. Not even 10 minutes after I faxed them in, did I have calls about coming in for interviews! So after 3 interviews, the lady I interviewed with 3rd wanted to hire me on the spot cause she said I would be perfect for the job. The position is called "PsychoSocial Rehabilitation Specialist". I will be working with people of all ages from 4 years old to adults who struggle with different mental illnesses to teach them different skills and be able to maintain independence in the community to prevent movement in a more restrictive living condition. I am pretty nervous about it cause it sounds pretty intense, but hopefully I can take the things I have learned from my classes I took from BYU and my experience at PCS and be able to do a good job!

I will be packing up and leaving on the 29th of this month, so if you wanna say goodbye to me, you better do it soon! :) But don't worry, I will be coming down and visiting Provo pretty frequently cause there are just some people here who I can't be away from for very long! There are many things I am going to miss about Provo, but I feel I have done my time here and I need to move on to different things, more opportunities, experiences, and moving up in life. Wish me luck!
A little peek at where I am moving to!

Megan, I can't believe you are leaving the day I get back to Provo. You'll have to let me know when you'll be in town again so I can see you. Good luck! (Isn't being a grown up weird? All these big life changing decisions to make!)
