Decisions

So here I am.

Jobless, been miserably sick, and, accept for a short visit with my Bishop, I haven't had human contact in days.

After finding out last week that I didnt get a job I was expecting to get, I spent a day in the Temple.  I pondered, and questioned and prayed... asking for answers.

And the answer came.

I am moving to Idaho.  I dont know if it is temporary or long term.  I am going to live with my parents.  Mostly, I feel that this is going to take the financial pressure off me while I decide what to do with my life.

I am still looking for jobs in Utah, Salt Lake Area.  I feel this is where I have built my life.  I have friends here that are like family.  I love the city life, the shopping, the social possibilities.  I am also looking for jobs in south east Idaho, closer to my family.  But, I want to stay in SLC.

I also know that when the Lord says move, I need to act, and act fast.

I have my apartment up for rent.  Several people are coming over today to check it out, and I hope to sale my lease and be out by the end of Feb.  In fact, I WILL be out by the end of Feb.

Here are some thoughts: 

I am looking into graduate school again.  A second masters or a PhD.  Counseling or Social Work.  I want to eventually set up my own practice.  A little office off the side of my house, where I can run my own business and set up my own schedule.  Programs at the U, BYU, USU and ISU interest me.  I am going to study up and get a better score on the GRE and apply for the schools this fall.

Dating you ask?  I have been out with a few guys, but nothing is serious right now, and the guys have my number and know where to find me :) Perhaps the right guy is in Idaho.  And I can't put my life and plans on hold for something that isn't substantiated.

This has been a really trying time, but I also feel that this is also part of the plan.

So now you know.
