About 6 months ago my amazing friends Kamry and Rachele and I made a pact that none of us would back out on Hawaii... Although we later talked about the more than likely situation that something would fall through and it wouldn't happen. I had my money that I was going to loose both of them to 2 young missionary's they had both been patiently waiting for but lucky for me it worked out to my advantage...
Is this happening, REALLY? I officially have 3 weeks until I will be sitting on my new and improved territory on the islands.... I can't even tell you how excited I am!
However, I have to sit back and admit how ironically sad I am to leave Cedar City Utah. Really? Am I honestly feeling sad when I moving onto much warmer and brighter things? :)
As a sophomore in high school, if you would have asked me where I would be in 5 years I would have had no clue, but I can assure you I was not thinking I would be leaving my home of 2 1/2 years in Cedar City Utah and taking off to the Islands... Really is this happening?
I feel like I am moving away from where I have grown up. And in a way that is a very true statement. I have done more growing up here in Cedar City than I did in my entire 17+ years in Sandy Utah. The times and lessons I have had here are completely priceless and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I will always remember a huge chunk of my heart left here in the Southern Utah (Now if thats not the cheesiest thing I have ever said)
I have had the most wonderful opportunity to work here as a Medical Assistant in a pediatric clinic that I have absolutely fallen in love with. I might already have this story on here but... I will never forget when I had my interview and they told me I was hired on the spot and Dr. Dowse (the owner/head physician) said "Welcome to our family!" I remember thinking really? They think of their office as family? How neat was that to hear as a 17 year old who had graduated early and left her family behind. Now it makes so much sense to me, they are my "Premier" family there and it is so much more than a job to me. I appreciate so much all I have learned there and how much fun I have had. Thanks so much for the knowledge and especially the laughs guys :)I will write more about me leaving Cedar but more importantly my upcoming adventure of Hawaii!!!! Thanks for everybody that has helped make it happen :)
But once again.... is this happening, REALLY?!
