Like It's Made For Me
Ok, southeastern Idaho was never my destination in life. I never, ever thought 'I can't wait to grow up, get married and move to Pocatello' when I was a little girl. I'm not complaining to be here, not really. A lot of amazing things have happened to me in this little college town, meeting and falling head over heels for my husband being the least of these. It's almost like this little town was made for me. I have quite a bit of family in town (who I really ought to keep in touch with better... and I know it!) but I know that if I ever need anything I have a list of numbers I can go down and find someone to come to my rescue. It's amazing to know that and, oh, what a comfort when my husband has to answer the call of the US Army. My grandparents are an hour away. My bestest girl friend lives seven minutes away (lemme tell ya, it sure beats seven hours!). But, what really drove this point home was the amazing sunset we had last night. The view of the western horizon from our house isn't the greatest so my honey and I
hopped on his zoomin, super-fast motorcycle (it's not that fast, Mom... Don't worry) and drove up on the hill where all the super ginormous houses are and watched the sunset over the little valley we call home. There are just times when you see something and think 'Heavenly Father made that just for me' and this was one of those moments. It was so beautiful. Of course there are things about this place that I don't like and I really have no desire to spend the rest of my life here, but for now it's amazing. Everything I need is here in some form or another. Right now, it feels like it was made just for me.
