Why Wyoming?

Some of you might be asking, Why on earth would you move to Wyoming? Well I got an amazing job there and my parent currently live there. Its a win, win for me! Plus I didn't grow up in the city and I am ready for a break.
Now you know where LaGrange is.


The story starts in December, about a week before Christmas my parents arrived, to stay for break (my Father is attending Frontier School of The Bible, in LaGrange, Wyoming). The night they arrived we were all talking in my living room. My Mother (works as Frontiers registrar) tells me that Frontier would like me to come and be their new kitchen manager. She was so excited to tell me and I was freaking out! Excited but still freaking out! I didn't know what to think.

My Mother, Oldest Brother, Father and Me.
I asked my Mom why me? She said that the kitchen manager had heard that I was attending Culinary school and that I was also taking management classes and recommended me as his replacement. I was baffled. "Mom do they know that I am only 21 and that I am primarily studding Baking and Pastry?" I asked. "Yes and its because you are taking the management classes that the director of the school asked me to talk to you about the job. Think about it and pray about it. You have time to decide." My Mom said.

A couple of days before my parents arrived I was going about my daily routine and I was tired of it. I was in need of a change. Not only was I working a lot those few months. Because of the Holidays and I was also on my externship. Basically working two jobs at the busiest time of the year. I was stressed out and thinking I didn't want to bake anymore. And here this opportunity came. It basically smacked me in the face. An answer to my prayers. I knew right away that I wanted to take the job, but I didn't know if this was what God had planned for me.

Theoretically I know how to run a kitchen. That's what I have been studying for the past year, but I have very little experience and was unsure if I could. "Listen," my Dad says, "the director of the school doesn't do anything without pray about it first. Not only do your Mother and I think you can do it, but the director does and so does God." This is why I said yes. I knew my parents would be there to help and know from experience that God has never let me down and He has never put me into a situation that I couldn't handle without His help. I knew this was the job for me. The next adventure in my life.

And that is why I am heading to Wyoming. Most of my bags, well boxes, are packed and I gave my two weeks notice to Toys R Us! 16 more days and I am out of the city!
