I'm starting to think about all the different things I'll miss. Like sitting next to my dad at church or slapping my mom's butt (:]) or getting random compliments from people at church. I'm going to miss my friends and getting made fun of for being Mormon and hearing my friends defend me when it's not them making fun of me. And as much as I hate driving, I'm really going to miss car dancing. I'm also going to miss watching seasons at a time of The Office and making chocolate chip cookies that get squished to "seal in the delicious grease" and being wild by drinking Mountain Dew.
I am really excited but thinking about all of this really bums me out!
Today we kinda celebrated my 19th birthday almost a month early. I got lots of clothes that I'm really excited to wear but it's kind of sad to think that I won't be with my family to celebrate the marvelous day that I entered the world (well maybe marvelous for most people; I'm not too sure how my mom was feelin' that day...).
What's crazy is that what really set my emotions rolling today was a woman at church that I don't think has ever really spoken to me. She was never rude but she seemed kinda gruff and I was always a little scared of me. While I was helping out in the nursery, she came in to tell the kids a story and afterwards told me that she's really going to miss seeing me each Sunday and that she's really enjoyed watching me grow up. It kinda reinforced how big of a family I have here even if they aren't really my family.
I know it doesn't sound like it, but I really am excited for BYU. I guess I'm just feeling a little nostalgic today.
Hopefully I'll be able to see everyone at some point in the next week, though I guess I know that that's not really possible...
I guess I can always hope!
