Life's a Dance You Learn as You Go

As of yesterday I've officially been a returned missionary for two months! Is it a little nuts that I'm an RM? That label actually applies to me? Yes. But it's a good thing. I wouldn't trade my mission for anything! I loved it SO much, and even though it was so hard- it was so simple and wonderful. So how do I feel about my life right now?

-It's far more complicated than my mission. My focus is now divided in a hundred directions and I have to strive for balance instead of having one very clear

focus.

-I'm so incredibly blessed. I started working right after I got home. I have amazing friends, a wonderful ward, and an AWESOME family :)

-Dating is ridiculous. Not really... it's good... just exhausting and frustrating sometimes. At least I'm going on dates and having fun w/ it :) It's just so complicated.

-It's nice to be able to spend time working on healthy habits now that my time is a little more "mine". I bike to and from work almost every day. It's nice that I get to choose what I eat most of the time (not that I always make wise choices). I love doing yoga, random video workouts, and hiking when I get the chance. This morning- I fell in love w/ Zumba.

-Being a "grown up" is hard- dealing w/ medical bills, large purchases like my new laptop, and replanning out my schooling, etc. ... I get pretty overwhelmed by that stuff. I may be 23, but w/o my mom I might just explode w/ stress sometimes bein

g an "adult".

-I'm so grateful for the gospel. Life may be complicated, but the gospel of Jesus Christ is simple and true and I love it.
