New Adventures

Life is moving rather fast lately. In just six short weeks Ryan and I will be moving from New Jersey to Boston. It is amazing to see where life takes us each year. I can tell you I never imagined living in New Jersey or Boston, but I am definitely glad for the opportunities—they will be and have been great experiences.

Last year at this time, Ryan and I were packing up and leaving Salt Lake for Wayne, New Jersey. I remember feeling so nervous and apprehensive, I didn’t know what to expect. To my great relief, we settled into our cosy apartment and began to experience a great adventure. We have made many close friends in the area, and have had wonderful adventures sight seeing in Washington D.C., NYC, Philadelphia, and of course Boston! I am sad to be leaving, but I can’t wait for the next chapter in our lives.

This summer we are headed to Utah to spend the summer with family and friends, and in August we will be driving across the country to Boston. I am so excited for Ryan to be going to Harvard. He has worked so hard to accomplish this dream and now he is living it.

Boston is also going to provide me with an array of opportunities and social outlets. The job opportunities in Boston are outstanding and Harvard provides endless opportunities to get involved in the community and to make new friends. In addition, the LDS community is very strong. There are lots of young married couples and couples with children.

The Church is such a huge comfort to me as I travel to new unknown areas. It is such a peaceful feeling to know that wherever I go the Church will be there and it will always be the same. Since joining the Church, I am constantly amazed at the great blessings it provides. The greatest blessing to me is the peace and comfort that comes from our Heavenly Father—I never had that feeling before joining the Church.
