Summer has come and basically gone...

SO I haven't put much on my blog for awhile. I am doing the same things--working, going to church, hanging out at home, and talking with my family. Life has taken an interesting turn and the last 5 months I have learned much. I have been divorced for 5 months and grateful that I was married to him. Honestly, I always wanted a marriage that would last forever as 2 individuals worked together to have their dreams and ideals match up.
Last night for the first time in a long while, I watched the CES fireside and I am so glad that I did. It was on dating and marriage. So much good information from Elder Richard G Scott. There were many things that could have been better in my marriage- mostly the spiritual things. I have come to realize that it is our spiritual selves that matter the most and that that is really who we are. We are to overcome the natural man which is not the easy way to go but it is the way that is more worthwhile in the end.
The summer has been filled with adventures to see family. I have had the chance to go to Portland, Or to see my parents, and then to Rexburg, Id to see my sister and a bunch of friends. Most of the time I have been in North Idaho working and seeing what is around me. There is so much to see up here and I was able to see more when my parents and sister came to see me. We drove from Coeur d'Alene to Sandpoint to Bonners Ferry and up to the canadian border. I got as close to Canada as I could since I don't have a passport. It was fun to be there with my family.
I have become nationaly certified as a pharmacy technician and I will be going back to school in January at North Idaho College to get some math and science classes done. Who knows next summer I may move to a new location to start the next portion of my life.
