Here was the plan:
Graduate from BYU with perfect grades (at least a 3.8)
Get a fantastic job working in Europe/ New York/ LA (maybe Grad school)
Fall in love with a doctor/lawyer
Date for AT LEAST a year
Get married and be perfect
So much for that plan! (now cue the laughter)
Military Ball 2011
I just got engaged... to a boy I met four months ago. What!?! Who is this girl?? Oh he's great. He's an officer in the US Army... (yeah, wasn't that an automatic disqualification 4 months ago? oh yeah totally. so much for rules!)
OK but the point is, what is it with planning? It seems like Heavenly Father always has something different in mind. How much of it is me and how much of it is Heavenly Father just throwing curve-balls? And why should I make a plan if it's just going to get rearranged?
BUT the truth is that for me there's too much security in feeling like I have a plan. And I think Heavenly Father wants us to make plans. I don't know why, but I do. So I made a new plan:
Speed things up times a bajillion, probably skip the travel & grad school, and go where the military tells Patrick he has to go.
It's quite the change, but I think Patrick is worth it.
