Blogging is stressful.

I hate naming albums on facebook, so naming my blog was very stressful. However the wonderful, and extremely talented Alyssa Cook, helped me. So props to her for Just Dust. Basically it explains life in Idaho, perfectly.

All my life I have wished to be other places, it’s kind of insane. When I first moved out of Forest Grove, all I wanted was to move back. Now I look back and can't even imagine life there. Beaverton is my home, my life, and my everything. Growing up I always wanted to be married in the Hawaii temple, because of the awesome waterfall entrance. But after living there for four months, I realized that my Portland temple was just as pretty, if not more spectacular. People are always shocked, after I tell them I transferred from BYU-Hawaii. "Why?" is my FAQ. Truthfully, it’s because I wasn't close enough to home. Hawaii is stunning; there is beauty constantly around you. The temperature is always amazing, and the people are some of the most caring, loud, and fun people I have ever met. But it wasn't home. People always say home is where the heart is. I love Portland/ Beaverton. My ward, my location, my job/s. All amazing. If only there was a BYU-Portland.

Except I think that would change the Portland I love, and I wouldn't want that either. Yes I hate the Max, and love the Pearl. No I didn't spend every weekend downtown. Should have, but I love having the choice. Here in Rexburg Idaho Falls is my "downtown", which has WINCO, and target and a mall. I have finally mastered getting to Winco by myself, but I'm positive I that I would get lost trying to find the mall. Home, I have four malls to choose from. Yes, I know there is more to life than shopping. However I miss it.

Rexburg does have a small town charm, and there are things here that make me laugh daily. The cowboy hats and boots. The Titon Floor Museum. The Wal-Mart. Horkleys. The Speed Limit. and the Plasma Center.

I do love this school, my classes are great, and the atmosphere is awesome (even though some people believe it’s being ruined by IPod headphones, haha). My plan is to graduate here, and then MOVE.

Well my new goal, is to love where I am, wherever I am, and stop wishing to be somewhere else. Living in the Moment, with an Eternal Perspective. So I love Rexburg, but will be moving away, someday.
