Lebantucky

I love Lebanon. I love it sooo much. Sometimes I might not act like I do and sometimes I think I don't love it. But I do. When Greg got his job in Carmel, I knew I didn't want to live there. When I think of Carmel, I just have bad images in my mind that probably are not true any way. ( Rich stuck up snobs everywhere who think they are better than everyone and they don't know how to work hard) Greg and I prayed hard to know where to live. I had the idea of maybe living in Lebanon. I always had fond memories of Lebanon mainly from the wonderful people I knew there growing up ( Jessie Miranda, The Vinson Sisters, Tydel, the Howland Boys, Jason Salvinis, the Monns, there were others too )My sister went to prom there and she told me how the whole town comes and watches the students walk into prom. They have bleachers set up and lawn chairs and the students walk down a red carpet with a spot light and they called out their names. ( Since I have moved here I think I have gone every year). i loved that idea and small town things like that. So we decided to visit the branch. When we went to church in Lebanon, it felt (indescribable).... like home... like peace... like pure happiness....like right. I remember that Byron Law spoke and some of the Young Men spoke about the Young Men's Program. I felt the spirit so strong. Which looking back now if funny because while we love our Young Men, the program is still growing and struggling unlike are crazy remarkable Young Women's Program. Greg and I both knew that this is where we wanted and needed to be. I was so thankful to such a clear answer to our prayers. We have tired to leave several times ( wanting to live in a ward and not a branch, wanting to live closer to Greg's work) but each time we are pulled back to Lebantucky. I love you Lebanon.
