Hopefully June will be a change for growth and change

So today is June 1st. Wow hard to believe that almost a half of a year has flown by. Lets recap what this year has been so far. January was 2 years since my grandfather passed away (its hard to believe that 2 years have passed). Also in January I fell and injured my knee and so most of feb and early march was spent in physical therapy (which hurt me more). In March I went and saw a surgon and we decided to try some meds. In April my grandma turned 80 and I turned 30 (and I acutally handled turning 30 well). Also at the end of April I was in the hospital for a couple days due to my small bowel slowing down and my hemogolbin dropping too low. Then in May I got to go on my first country trip and loved every minute of it. Jessie turned 22 (my sister). I went to Zion's Camp and heard Elder Groberg speak. Also my rock group is over (i will post on this in a later blog today). I also started to receive shots in the knee (my left) which are no fun and hasn't helped much at all. But through out all my trials and all the temptations I have faced in the last 3 months I am grateful because they are refining me to be a better person. Life is how you make it not what is happening to you. I also received awesome news . I on tues (june 9th) will be coining (completing) my Choices (intensive outpatient treatment for drug and alcohol ) group. I am exciting and am ready to go to aftercare and then work on being done. There is a lot in the next year I want to accomplish and in order to do that I can't be in treatment.
