"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

We said farewell to Cedar City two weeks ago. So much happened there in the last four years it is hard to remember much before it, and harder to imagine what life will be after it. As I looked at our empty apartment I was flooded with memories, good and bad, but our first memories. We were so lucky to be blessed with great friends, a wonderful ward, education, jobs, and our home. Our marriage was established here and we learned so much about how we were going to live the rest of our lives. Cedar City taught me who I was. I wouldn't trade all the challenging times that we faced in this place for anything.
Onto a new place. A whole new set of lessons. New life experiences.
We don't know much about our new stage in life. We do know that the Lord has led us here and it is time in our life to rely on him to stretch and grow. We can't wait to let our plan become even better than we could imagine with the help of our Father in Heaven.
