The life for me! DREAM BIG!

So on Saturday morning Mom, Ben, Maddie and I took a little road trip to Evanston Wyoming. I know random but Ben had found a table on KSL. Com that he wanted to buy. So we all packed into the truck and took a little road trip to check out this table. Evanston is only 78 miles away from our house so we were all up for the fun.

One thing we didn't expect was the breath taking beauty that was in store for us! OH GOODNESS! The table was at a ranch off of country road 157. We turned down the road and it promptly turned into a dirt dug way! The scene out our windows was amazing, we had a entered into a little ranch valley. In translation we had entered heaven!

When we arrived at the Sexton Ranch four miles down the road we were overwhelmed with the beauty of everything, and there in the middle of the yard was the table. (Which Ben promptly bought!)

I couldn't help but feel great delight at the ranch and the seclusion. And of course, like I have said previously, the beauty was enough to make a persons heart sing with joy!

So my dear friends, you ask "What, Helen, is the life for you?"

I have been thinking about this for quite some time now, I have always wanted to grow up become a cowgirl and own some property of my own. In the past year and a half I have let this dream rekindle! I really started to throw my upcoming idea around while coming home from a recent trip to Lake Powell. The drive down to Powell is almost as amazing as Powell itself...maybe! But there are some beautiful little ranches right up next to the road during that drive.

I have always thought that I would need to marry a man who had this same dream as me. But I have come to the conclusion that this is my dream and I want to make it happen! So I am going to graduate with my degree (which will consist of a degree in Special Ed and FCHD and a minor in Ag science.) Move to a small town and hopefully get a job at a local school and buy up some land. Not much just thirty acres or a little bit more and have my own little ranch.

I know to most of you are now thinking "Oh goodness Helen has really fallen of her rocker now!"
But I assure you that I know what I am getting myself into and I know it will be hard. But I have tasted a life where my dreams would not have been possible to come true. This is what I want. This is what I have always wanted. So this is what I am going to get!

Life is meant to be joyful! DREAM BIG!

SAY WHAT!

I feel as though I have been the worlds worst blogger lately so I am going to find something really really interesting to write about...about my life...which is not very interesting right now. Im sorry!

It was never in the plans for me to not have an interesting life. Oh boy! It's like after you turn 21 your fun level starts to go down hill.

OH! I know what I will complain about!

So financial aid is ridiculous! REALLY! who are they to tell me that I am not independent from my parents! For heaven's sake alive! I haven't been claimed by them since I was seventeen! I don't know what more they want from me! I am really at my wits with these people! There seems to be no way to charm my way with them! I am going to have to do major research and find out stuff! SAY WHAT! I know I am actually going to have to figure this out. There is no way I can continue going to school with out help...oh what to do what to do.

My current POA (Plan of action) is to call other institution in the state and find out their policy on independent status. I am also going to call the federal regulator...sigh.

So the whole point of this story is that the government says that they will help you and then they just jerk your chain.

Is this the beginning of my life with the government! IS THERE MORE TO COME?

IS THIS EVER GOING TO END!

IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE THIS FOREVER!

Oh boy, if this POA dosn't work my next one is to continue to pray really really hard and have faith! At least then I know the out come will be what needs to be..

Until next time...
