Hello to all of you loyal followers of my blog! I am BACK! I know it has been many weeks since I have posted here...
About one month to be precise.
My life is finally starting to settle down a bit and so I thought I would catch all of you up on my latest adventures!
After I left Ghana, I was able to spend a few days in London on may home! I traveled around with my friend Annie and we were able to see all of the classic tourist sites that were there. It was fun to be there with a friend and experience such a rich part of the world's history. Here is the long list of the things that we were able to see: British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Hyde Park Chapel, Big Ben, House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park WINTER WONDERLAND!! (that's for you Annie haha), Tower Bridge, Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, The Globe Theater, Oxford Street, Abbey Road, Portobello Road, AND the musical "Singing in the Rain!" Yup... We did all of that in 4 days.
Then I finally arrived home in freezing cold Salt Lake City. It was so great to be come with everyone for Christmas! As everyone in our family begins to grow up and move in different directions, the times that we do get to spend together are becoming more meaningful because they are less frequent.
A few days after Christmas we took a 4-day family trip up to West Yellowstone to spend some time in Yellowstone National Park! Everyone was able to come and it was great to visit that area again. Our family really enjoys to go snowmobiling and it was a lot of fun to spend some time riding in the park. We were able to see a lot more wildlife this time around than when we went there 6 years ago. It is such a beautiful place!
Then a few days after getting back from that trip... I moved back up to Logan to finish my last semester at USU! YAY! I am living with a great friend and it is just the two of us in this three-bedroom apartment. We turned our extra room into a music room to house all of our instruments as well as our weekly music night!
This semester is going to be a tough one but somehow I will make it through. Here are the classes I am taking: *Clinical and Professional Issues in Music Therapy *Psychology of Music *Music Therapy Practicum (this semester I will be working at the Cache County Jail doing weekly music therapy sessions with 8-10 male inmates!!!) *Mountain and Road Biking *Personality Theory *Human Anatomy ... And on top of all of those classes, I am working at the Fieldhouse, applying for internships, and preparing for my big Level 3 music exam!
Well my friends, I have closed the Ghana chapter in this book of my life and am now beginning this new one. I had the opportunity to speak in church today and I talked about some of the life experiences that I had in Ghana and how it has helped me develop as an individual and become closer with my Heavenly Father. I will always look back on that time with fond memories. Although I was very sad to leave my ISEP family, my church family, and my closest friends, I know that this next part of our journey will bring us new growth. I want to continue to find joy in my journey.
