Yo.

All I got to say is that everything happens in its appropriate time.
Today started out good. And then Jennifer sends me snapchat to check my BYU admissions because her friend got accepted. Right then and there I knew, I knew I didn't get in. But I had hope. I had the desire. I wanted it so bad but I knew. I knew it was impossible for me to get accepted for the Winer semester.
I log in.
Wrong password. I forgot to capitalized a letter.
Typed in the right password.

Homepage, BYU Idaho - accepted. BYU Provo - denied.
Provo was the dream. Not just my dream but my mom's, my family's. I am the first to go to college. I had pressure on me. And I have a younger brother who looks up to me and wants me to be the best. I wanted this so bad. I had never wanted anything more than this.
But Heavenly Father has other plans for me. I believe there was a reason why I didn't get into Provo. I had the grades, maybe not the best grades but I had great grades. I worked my butt off in College. I had dreams and goals. But I know it was never my best. It was decent. I had, to quote "tremendous potential," I had "many obstacles in life that have rounded you to be the daughter of God you are." But I didn't do seminary, personal progress, young women's camp. How could I? I was inactive. But that itself was a blessing in disguise.
And that is where my day took its turn. I was denied. I was rejected by my dream school.
I come home for lunch and literally have Ice Cream & possibly some hot Cheetos. :)
But you know what I learned today?
Everything happens for a stinkin reason. Whether I like it or not.
