wednesdays

wednesdays are a special day. on wednesday june 24th, 2009 i decided it was time for me to change my life.  i took control. i made a conscious decision to be happy. it was the hardest decision i had made up to that point.  it was the decision to end a relationship that was toxic (and not the brittney spears toxic... name that movie?!). i wasn't happy immediately after making that decision, in fact i cried more that summer than i think i ever have.  but i learned a lot about myself, and what i was capable of.  i learned that i was strong. i learned that i can get whatever i want if i  put my mind to it, and if it is what god wants me to do.

this picture was taken the day after i made that big decision, it was the dress up day at efy

the next wednesday that was significant was wednesday november 24th, 2009.  it was in the first minutes of that day that me and michael held hands for the first time.  it was the beginning of a relationship that literally changed my whole outlook on life.  it was when the bar for guys that i would date in the future was raised. it was one of the happiest, most nerve racking, terrifying days of my life.  i didn't know what was going to happen but i could tell that life was never going to be the same. 

the essence of us

on wednesday august, 25th i left everything that i knew, my family, my friends, my house, my ex-boyfriend michael, and moved to provo.  i started college at brigham young university. i grew up to an extent that day.  i used what i had learned over a year before i knew that i was strong.  i knew that i could do this. it was the hardest year of my life, emotionally. i had never felt so insignificant in my entire life. i kept going. i never gave up. and i made some of the best friends i have ever had!

wednesday november, 16th 2011 was a wonderful day.  i woke up and went to work but ended up leaving early because me and michael were meeting at the draper temple to do baptisms.  then we went to ikea and walked around pretending we were newly weds picking out our furniture (all michael's idea.... and apparently we were really well off newly weds because we were buying new furniture at ikea).  we followed that up with lunch at zupa's where we found out that michael's visa didn't come through and he would be reporting the next day to the provo mtc.... the provo mtc where i work.... awkkkiiiieeee. the day ended with us sitting in the car overlooking draper. we said goodbye that day. we got in our cars and drove our separate ways.  i have never had to depend on my savior more.  i knew what michael was doing was so right and so good it was hard for me to be sad.  i didn't want to be sad.  he was so excited and SO ready to get out there.  i learned so much about the atonement during that time.  i knew that i wasn't alone, and i knew that the best thing i could do was to grow and learn from this experience.

while me and michael's day ended at draper my day continued on with an andy grammer concert that night see look at how much fun i was having!

now i am waiting for another wednesday.  a wednesday that is terrifying, exciting, and slow to come.  wednesday march 13th, 2013.  this wednesday is going to change. my. life. after that day i will never go back to being kalli wyatt, i will forever be improved by being sister wyatt.  sister wyatt the missionary for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints.  i cannot wait! it's finally my chance to give back to the lord for all that he has done for me! 140 days. 4 months and 17 days away. wednesday will come.
