4 months...i cannot believe that i only have 4 months left here in amazing

New York

It's amazing to realize why I am suppose to exactly where i am, right now.

Last week it hit me that i was out here to be with this family. The way things worked out. The way that i fit perfectly in the family. The timing. The amazing friends i have made. The people i have met for some reason or another. The hardships and trials i have run into. The most memorable time of my life.

I honestly can't think of a better way to spend these past couple months than out here with the most perfect host family. They have been nothing but amazing to me. I cannot complain a bit. And to hear other nannies out here complaining about there families, i kinda just laugh inside and smile because i know that mine is by far the best! (this family needs a nanny starting in the summer..hint hint)

I ask myself all the time how i got so lucky? I even just catch myself asking others how i got so lucky with this family? I must have known that it was right all along because i trusted my entire life with them by coming out here and trusting that everything would be okay...it turned out to be more than okay, it has been amazing!

I know i have 4 more months left..but honestly these past 5 months have been everything i could want and more. Not always easy, but it ain't easy always right?

I am learning so much from this family..so much that i wouldn't have if i didn't come out here! I now know that trusting yourself and running with a good feeling isn't always gonna turn out bad. There is always opposition, but when you look back and realize what you have accomplished..nothing feels better. I have grown closer to my Heavenly Father by trusting, praying, and counting all of my amazing blessings that i have been given. There isn't a time in my life when i have felt closer to my Heavenly Father.The Gospel is such a blessing in my life and i don't know what i would do without it, i wish everyone who doesn't have it, will one day know what its like to be truly happy!! It's amazing to see your life change from good and not thinking it could be any better, to amazing when new people come into your life!!

I truly am the luckiest person in the world. I have an amazing family. Boyfriend. Friends. And Host Family and i truly know that is all because of the decisions and life that i have chosen. I wouldn't want to have it any other way! I must have done something right to be given so much :)
