So today was the day that I had to tell my boss and friend Tammy that my last day of working at The Bank of Kirksville would be April 29th. I never thought that this would make me seriously think of so many things. With all of the excitement coming up in our life I have just been reflecting on the portion of our lives here in Kirksville.
I never thought that I would marry someone like Bryce, he is truly the best thing that ever happened to me. I never thought that getting sealed in the temple for time and all eternity would bring so much comfort to me at times when I need it the most. I never thought that I would move across the country for my husband to go to medical school. I never thought it was possible to miss family and home, but be so content to stay here. I never thought that I would love living in Kirksville. I never thought that I would have as good of friends that I do here. I never thought that my boss could be one of my best friends, but she truly is!!! I don't know what I would have done without her. I never thought that Tammy and her husband John would be such a blessing in our lives.
I never thought that my testimony would grow so much by teaching 12 and 13 year olds in sunday school. I never thought that I would learn so much about myself while living in Kirksville. I never thought that I would be so excited to move home, but so sad to leave at the same time. I never thought someone could excell at medical school the way Bryce does. I never thought that I would ever be in this situation at all. But I would not trade it for anything in the world!!
Bryce and I have truly become best friends and are so close, I honestly think that moving here was the best decision that we have ever made. I am so glad that he picked me as the lucky one to take this journey with him. I never thought that we would be able to experience some of the wonderful things that the midwest has to offer.
April 29th is serioulsy coming so close, it will be here before I know it, and than we will be moving on to the next phase of our lives. I also know that it is what is best for us, but I truly know that we were ment to come to Kirksville. I have learned so much while I have been here.
I never thought that turning in my quitting day would bring so much thought, but it has. Sorry this is such a random post, but I just had to write all this thought down or else I would never remember it. So for those few people who read our blog I am sorry for the mess of thoughts.

I love you! Your amazing and a GREAT example to me! Can't wait to have you back home!!! XOXOXO
Yay, your coming home soon! K, so I heard you popped into the Childrens place and possibly talked about working here. Can we talk about this! I never thought you would want to work there again, but it would be so nice to have you back! Me and Amy are turning slightly bitter, we're trying not to but its happening. I'm so glad you loved Kirksville but I'm sure you will be very happy to be able to see your family. Hey, so, I kind of want to start a family soon. You like how I'm sharing my life plan on your blog? But, every time I see a baby right now, I just melt. So yes, I'm glad your coming back!
It is pretty crazy what moving across the country with no family around will do to your relationship with your husband. Very hard at times but just like you said wouldn't change it for the world!
So glad you had a great time in Kriksville! We have missed you at TCP..yes and eveyone is a little bitter there right now! It just seems that everyone works so hard so so little praise! (thanks Heidi) I'm sure your family is soooo excited to see you!!
