In a figurative way of speaking, speed bumps on a 50 mph road are not safe. I say this because it kind of explains my life. I am going forward, gaining speed, enjoying the scenery around me and then all of the sudden a speed bump comes in and wipes me out, or at least slows me dramatically down. But I guess you need those bumps sometimes to be able to take a break, get out of the car, and smell the roses. So... in a non-figurative way of speaking, I am going forward with my life... I changed majors, I decided where I am going to school next fall, I know I am going to marry Jesse someday. The speed bump in changing my major is some of the classes I took at UVU won't transfer for any credit, pretty much they don't matter anymore... which is kind of sad. Especially because my Human Anatomy class doesn't matter now... sigh.. oh well. The speed bump in going to Weber next fall, is that it is so close to my family they will expect me to move back home, but I don't want to. I don't know where to live though... or how I will get the money to do so. But that can be figured out... I will just talk to a friend that I think is living there and going to Weber, and maybe I can move into her apartment/house thing. And finally the speed bump(s) of marriage... Jesse and I are trying to figure out when we want to get married because we are not going to be able to make it a whole other year. I don't understand why my parents can't see that. The longer it goes, the harder it gets; it really isn't that safe. But if I get married this year, my parents will probably flip 2x harder than they did before because they were so happy when we told them that we would wait. I am terrified of how my whole family is going to react. They didn't do so well the first time. They mostly just got mad at me and my decision, thought I was irresponsible, and they were judging me for making a decision for my life. But I guess there are speed bumps for everything and you just need to take it at the right speed so you don't flip your car over a 1 1/2 bump. How sad would that be? HAHA.. My life is like Utah weather right now... you never know if it is going to rain, snow, hail, be sunny, or partly cloudy... just take it as it comes. I can't wait to go to California!!!!
You know, I was thinking about when I was 18 and wanted to get married and my family tried to talk me out of it, but I was young and in love and thought I knew everything. I didn't dare pray and ask the Lord though because I knew he would tell me no. Almost 13 years and how many affairs later, my marriage came to an end. I should have asked the Lord. He knew the type of man my ex-husband was inside.On the other hand, I know Jesse and think he's wonderful! I'm sure you couldn't go wrong with him and I know you have asked the Lord. That's the most important part! He knows what's best! Oh, and limit those kisses! I know how dangerous they can be!Also, I cried when Cody told me he wasn't going on a mission and that he was getting married. He was only 19! But now I have the cutest little grandson that I adore! I wouldn't have him if things had turned out how I wanted! I'm sure your parents will come around.
