Adjusting

This past month has been quite the adjustment for me. I made a quick decision to move out of my apartment and move in with family for the summer to save money before the move to San Diego. It's been an eyeopening experience for me. I have realized so much about myself and how independent I really have become these last few years. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing to be independent. I guess it's a little of both. I know that I can do a lot on my own but I also know that is not part of the plan Heavenly Father has for me. I feel like this decision to completely change my entire routine and life these next 6 months is going to be hard but good for me.
I have felt stuck in a rut and really wanted to begin feeling that I was progressing, so that is why this big decision was made. I know that it is right for me right now because of the conformation and feelings of the spirit that I felt, however that does not mean it is smooth sailing from here on out. That's where this whole "adjusting" comes into play. I know that anything worth anything in life does not come without struggles and challenges. I have learned this lesson well. But I'm not going to lie and say that I am not nervous about those times ahead. I hope that I am strong enough to barrel through them and come out stronger and better because of the decisions I am making.
I look forward to times with family in San Diego. It's been a long time since I lived at home. I know that it will be a change and I am a different person than I was when I lived there before. I will miss my sister and her family here. I have been in her kids lives since they were very young and I am so used to being a huge part of their lives. I will miss living so close to my mom. It's been a real blessing to be able to live so close to the women in my family, especially since growing up I was always living with my brothers and dad. 
Change is scary but I continually go back to my confirmation that this is the right decision. Faith in this answer is what I need to keep falling back on. So here's to change.....wish me luck.
