So we've spent the summer saying goodbye to the places and people we love. Even still it is hard for me to put my feelings to words and then to write them down. Hopefully (if you make it through) this post will make sense.
As I did some of the things I love in Cedar and about Cedar for the last time I was flooded with emotion. I drove past the football stadium where I learned I have an event high from wearing a headset and standing on the track in front of a full stadium. I drove past the buildings where I took classes and learned more about myself than I did about what was being taught. I visited the Alumni House. Where I was trained in events and later got my first "big girl" job. What will I do without these people and experiences I have had that have shaped my life the way they have?
We visited our favorite restaurants. Including Milts, The Pizza Cart, and the Pastry Pub. Yes, I know I can live without their food, but sometimes I wonder ;)
The job at the elementary school that showed me I can love children and the ladies in the classroom who are some of my dearest friends.
I have been so very blessed to have felt inspired to come to SUU and Cedar City in the fall of 2008. If I only would have known then how that choice would change my life forever. I know if given the option again I would make the same choice. How do you not get emotional over something that impacted your life in more ways than you ever dreamed it would?
We made wonderful friends that we will never forget.
It's been hard to put my feelings to words. It's even harder to know I won't be calling Cedar home anymore. What a wonderful life I have been blessed with.
So as hard as it is. Here's to new adventures!
