Another Big Decision... My life seems to be full of them these days

Alright alright. So I know the semester's not quite over yet (14 days!) but I haven't written anything in a REALLY long time so I felt that I should let everyone know what's going on.

Life has been really interesting lately. It kind of felt like I was just floating by. I still have good grades and everything but I wasn't really feeling anything, yah know?

Classes are good, I just can't wait to get home. I'm not trunky, I swear. Just impatient I guess.
So anyways, two days ago I think is when I decided that I'm not going to come back here after winter break. It was kind of a huge decision for me.
I fasted about it and prayed a whole bunch. I even took my scriptures to my math class cuz I knew we wouldn't be doing anything but going over excel projects. I talked to a bunch of my friends about it, and my mom, and my dad. A lot were for it and a lot were against it. Ultimately, it was my choice.

If I chose to stay then I would take a bunch of classes and just go along like I'm doing now.
I would have stayed at Carriage House with my amazing roommates that I love and it would have been a bunch of fun. Taken the easy road I guess.

The other day, I was talking to Kayleigh about next semester and how odd I was feeling about it. Something felt off about me staying here and I honestly couldn't see it happening. Now I understand why.
Anyways, I was talking to her and at the end of it I made the statement that staying home would be out of the question. She automatically asked me why I thought that. I didn't have an answer.
This opened up and whole bunch of possibilities for me. It made a lot more sense in my head that I stay home. I would save my parents a bunch of money, be able to get a job, spend a lot of time with my family, help my sister as she grows up and has to deal with high school and that insanity, help Mom with the kids and driving around, prepare for my mission, take classes online, and just be a lot happier.
It didn't take me very long to decide what I should do.
Needless to say, I called Mom and told her what I was going to do and then called Dad and told him. They were both very supportive of me and I'm super grateful for that.

Now, I'm just waiting... I get to go home and stay home. I'm so at peace right now with my decision. It makes me really happy. I know this is what I was supposed to do.

I'm so grateful for my parents and the Gospel that they taught me to live. I'm grateful for an Heavenly Father that can direct me where I should go and tell me what I'm meant to do in my life. I don't know what I'd do without him.

Well, anyways, that's what's been going on in my life recently. That's the big discovery. And I couldn't be happier.

Love,
