Thank heavens for mothers and kleenexes

Saying good bye is probably one of the hardest and saddest things there is to do. I am already an emotional wreck about most everything in life but goodbyes are the worst.

The end of school was pretty stressful. Having to pack everything up and study and pass finals and do all the last minute things was really getting to me. I had two of my biggest finals the second to last day i was there. For the record all my hard studying payed off. I passed all my classes and even got straight As which made me super excited!! I got a 96% on my stats final to bring my grade up to an A so i was so happy and then to top it off i got an email saying I'm on the deans list so i was one happy girl!! Then the day of the big move out came and i had to take my Praxis exam to be able to apply to the program. (I passed by the way which i was so pumped about!!) We had to have everything cleaned spotless and moved out by Saturday at noon. Brin's mom came and cleaned for a few hours to help make it easier on us and take all her stuff home. Ky crammed all her stuff in her car (I still cant figure out how it all fit!) and surprised her family by coming home early! My mom got there at nine in the morning and cleaned while i was taking my Praxis exam and by three we had everything spotless and ready to move out. My mom is amazing. I know i would have been there for forever if my mom wouldn't have came to help me. Looking at my empty apartment made me feel pretty sad. A lot has happened in a years time, and i have grown and learned a ton. I will definitely miss Oakridge Apt. 1E and all the good times i had there and the people i made friends with.  My mom left to give me some time to say good bye but i had no idea how hard it would be.

Saying goodbye to Adam was probably one of the hardest things i have ever done. He was honestly my best friend, we did everything together and i will miss him tons. David, his roommate who is a big tough football player, even gave me a big hug and the tears started coming then. I think people thought i was going insane as they walked by because i was just bawling. Pulling out of the parking lot was so hard. I cried about half way home and was so thankful i had some Kleenexes in my car because i couldn't see the road very well. Half way home i realized that crying wasn't helping anything, just making it worse because i couldn't see and i had a killer headache. Mom and i stopped for a pop and some chocolate in Snowville because of course they make everything better. My mom hugged me and told me it was going to be ok. You know what it is ok. Nothing has really changed, i still have a best friend that i know i can talk to about anything and i wouldn't have it any other way. I am so proud of him for choosing to go on a mission and not going to lie, i love being home with my family. I love having a job that i work all day every day. It makes me appreciate what i have and what i have been given. I am thankful i am not bored all day because that would kill me. Don't get me wrong i miss all my friends like crazy.  Not seeing Kim and Karlie everyday is weird. These girls were my best friends and i miss them, but i still keep in contact with them and i know so many fun times will come next year with them that i am so excited for. My amazing roommate Kyler is getting married which i am so excited for her and a little sad that i wont get to live with her again but i know i will still get to see her and we will still be friends. I look up to her so much and am thankful for her friendship and for making my first year so great. Ill get to see the neighbors again and nothing has changed there, we are all still friends. I'm lucky that Brin and i get to be roommates again because she is one special girl. I have no clue what i would have done without her. I miss our late night Prison Break episode watching snuggled up in her bed, or being so terrified from watching some scary movies, and just our talks about everything. She was such a great friend to me and made my freshman year awesome! I have been able to get together with some friends i haven't seen in a while and they have already made my summer fantastic! I have missed Steph like crazy and it has been so good to catch up with her and just hang out. She is so much fun and i have missed her crazy bubbly personality who makes doing absolutely nothing so much fun! Sure excited for more fun times with her this summer!! Katie and Camille are so fun and i have loved spending time with them. They actually make going to singles ward bearable since im not a huge fan of singles ward, i would rather be with my family. My family is amazing. I am so happy and am just loving life being home. Ya its been an adjustment getting used to sharing with more people and having a curfew and my new roommates going to bed at ten instead of two and even working instead of taking naps but i wouldn't trade it for the world. Who knows how much longer i have with these crazy people. Its only a few years before Kyle is gone on a mission and then goes Brit and Ridge and Terin will be married and hopefully me too :] and we will all be busy starting our own families. I am just making the most of the time i have now because i love life!!

Ya goodbyes are hard, but they happen and i have learned how to deal with them. Its not the last time im going to have to say goodbye, but next time i know what to do when it comes. Cry a few tears, hug my mom, use a Kleenex or two, eat some chocolate and be happy!! Life is too short not to be happy!! :] I love my life!!
