...No road ahead and we are going way too fast...

This is a new point in my life...I am getting ready to graduate from college and really move out on my own. I know that I live out on my own while going to college but there is something so much more foreboding and unreal and scary and exciting all at the same time about going to Vegas and becoming a real professional, living my life, and making real decisions for my future...who knows what is going to happen.

I am just excited and a little bit anxious about being along for the ride....It is like that feeling you get when dad used to drive really fast over those bumps on Moise Valley Road and you felt like your stomach was jumping up your throat...It is exilirating and a little frightening at the same time.

I had an experience the other day where one of my friends took

me on a little road trip outside of Rexburg. She told me she wanted me to see this hill that she loved that was on the outskirts of Rexburg. As we are driving (and believe me I thought she was a "conservative" driver) she starts to speed up, the road is flat and there are few hills, no shoulder and no one coming...She keeps building up speed and I am getting a little nervous that her car can't stay on track going so fast and all of the sudden I look ahead and there is nothing, no road, no place to go...and then we are going down and I got that feeling again, the fear and anxiety mixed with pure thrill and enjoyment....It Scared me to death, and while I liked it the conservative collected part of me freaked out a bit when she turned around and took me back down the hill.

Though I will probably never go on that road again,

I do know that is how I feel right now about Student Teaching,

graduating, and making real life decisions that so far I have avoided-not sure if it was

purposly or not, but I have avoided them.
So here goes...this Blog is dedicated to me and this rollercoaster I feel I am being thrown off of...feel free to stay along for the ride!
