You Can't Spell Wolves Without Love

Today I realized that I love a lot of things. I love the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I love the Book of Mormon. I love my family. I love my friends. I love myself (most days). And I love wolves. They are my whole focus in life right now. I know that seems weird coming from an almost 19 year old Mormon girl. A lot of people my age are focused on marriage and family, but all I can think about is finishing school and being in Yellowstone. I know if I follow the path my Heavenly Father has set for me that marriage and family will come eventually. I do want those things, but right now I have my eyes set on something I want. I want to be the girl in the pictures holding the wolf after they have tranquilized it. I want to be the one in this picture.

I want to be the girl who gets to hold the Canyon Pack Alpha Male for the first time. I want to be the girl who fights her way to the top because she knows she can do it. I want to be the girl who takes over for the head wolf biologist, Doug Smith. I want to be the girl who does what she loves to do. I know I'll never make any money doing what I love, but happiness is a much greater reward than money, in my opinion.
Anyway, I have been realizing more and more that this is what I am meant to do. I have had my doubts, but everything has fallen into place so perfectly. I know Heavenly Father has been leading me along. I am at the school of my dreams. I have met some amazing people. Devanie, Alyssa, and Marree have really helped me to be myself. I don't know what I would do without them. They are all wonderful!
I know that Heavenly Father placed them in my life for a reason. My classes have been awesome as well. They are easy! I have enjoyed my Natural Resources class the most! I have learned so much about Nature and what we can do to protect it. It really opened my eyes to a lot. The Church is so strong up here as well. I feel so spiritual even when I just walk around campus. Institute is amazing! If you want to know more about that, let me know. I will email my experiences with that to you.
As you can see, the Lord has helped me so much on Campus and this is how I know I am headed in the right direction. He is pushing me along and helping me become myself. This post has been more about me than anything, but I figured that this is important. Next time I write, will be more about my experiences in Yellowstone. Thank you to everyone who is reading this.
Thank you mom, Hannah, my family and anyone else who believes in me. I love you all. Just remember, you can't spell wolves without love :)
