I'm back!!! Contrary to what my blogs shows, this past year and a half have been crazy busy! Sometimes it's hard to believe that it's all over. Now, I just have memories to look back on and reminisce about. It is definitely bittersweet. I am so grateful that the Lord gave me the opportunity to serve Him and His children full time. It was an experience unlike any other. So, if you have the chance to serve a mission I would say GO! It's funny how when you lose yourself for others you truly find yourself. I had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ before my mission, but it's nothing like the conviction that I have now. Hands down best experience of my life! Not gonna lie- when I first got home I had the hardest time sleeping. I would wake up in the night, forget where I was, and then it would hit me and I would get really sad. Thankfully, that phase is over! The first two weeks of being home I was pretty busy with seeing everyone and catching up. I have missed my friends and family dearly, and it has been fun seeing them again...This past week I have been more focused on the reality of things, and trying to find a job. Being a grown up is not as fun as it sounds. Haha! No, I'm excited for this new adventure though. I have been applying for jobs through out Utah and Idaho. Hopefully, I will land one soon. Only time will tell. It's exciting because I don't have anything tying me down. I can basically go anywhere. It's thrilling and terrifying all at the same time! This is the only time in my life that I haven't had it all planned out. Before it was always school, school, school, and then it was mission. Now it's, now what? Masters? Career? Both? Utah? Idaho? The possibilities are endless. Obviously, I still don't know what my plans are yet. Hence the title of this post is "Let Your Heart Be Your Compass When You're Lost" from Lady Antebellum's song "Compass". Best. Song. Ever. I have missed my country music. I will admit I felt like a major sinner when I first started listening to "worldly" music again. It's still a challenge at times, but I have my select few songs that I listen to on repeat. Yep, RMs are weirdos. And I'm definitely alright with that. We were in Vegas last week walking the strip and Jen was like "Cover Bryce's eyes" to which I replied, "Cover his eyes? More like cover my eyes!" It was an adventure for sure. The best part of Vegas was cheering on our boys at the Utah State game. I've missed watching my Aggies play. I never thought I could love a school as much as USU, but surprisingly U of M is now a close second. I loved serving on their campus. Michigan will always hold a special place in my heart. Most days I wish I could just combine my two worlds. That would be ideal. However, to every thing there is a season...
The Gerbers- I miss them so!
The Dynamic Duo reunited- love this girl
