College?

Every high school senior goes through this. Although, honestly, I never thought that the time would come FOR ME that I would have to choose which college to go to after I graduate from high school! I never thought I'd get this OLD! ;)
For a while, I have been debating on whether to go to Southern Utah University or Brigham Young University. I've wanted, ever since I was young, to go to BYU. It's been my dream. So when I applied to SUU, got accepted and then got a FULL tuition scholarship, it was a battle inside myself!

Where should I go? SUU or BYU??
Of course, my sister was praying that I'd go to BYU (She and her husband are cougar fans!). My mom wanted me to go to SUU so that I'd be closer. I wanted to go to BYU but I also wanted a full tuition scholarship. So, I finally had to ask, where does the Lord want me to go?
Over the past couple months I have been praying and praying, asking for an answer. I didn't realize at first, but the feeling that I had been getting whenever I go through or am in Provo/ at BYU, was my answer. I felt 'at home' - like I was supposed to go there. Never had I felt that way whenever I was passing through or in Cedar.
I didn't realize that was my answer until yesterday when I got my acceptance letter from BYU. Why it took me so long to realize this? I don't know!
I can't describe the feeling, but I know BYU is where I belong. :)
So, BYU is where I'm heading this fall!! BRING IT ON! :D I'm so excited!! :)

Wow, I am HORRIBLE at blogging! I'm sorry.
Recently was Valentines Day!! Happy Singles Awareness Day! (for me, anyways..) ;)
Me & My Valentine! :)
I just wanted to say Thank You to all my amazing family and friends for everything you guys do for me! You are the best!
I've been really stressed out lately with keeping up my grades to keep my 4.0 GPA so my sister will come to my graduation, deciding where to go to college, filling out scholarship applications, and organizing a 5K Fun Run for the Children of Hope Academy.
I wouldn't be able to get through my days without a smile from a friend,
or the support my parents give me, or an annoying hug from my little sister ;)
JK, I love you sis!
So thank you all so very much. I love you all!

And you're only as small as the world will make you seem.
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall,
Just look on the bright side - you're roughly six feet tall!" :)
