goodbye dormy, hello home.

Drum roll please…… I would like to let you all know that I survived my freshman year. It started out a bit rough, but it got better each and every day. I loved college and I love BYU even more now. Go cougs. I am currently sitting at home, unpacked and its so weird. Moving home puts a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I am so excited for summer so I can have a break from the loads of homework I conquered this year, but there are so many things about college that I am going to miss. I will miss the BYU 153rd ward. Just like my Bishop told us… we by far had the best ward. All of the guys were crack ups and I will miss them lots.. they are such great boys. See ya in two. And the girls. Oh the girls. Both the 1100 and 1200 hall girls I will definitely miss the talks, the pranks, the tears, the lessons, the eating, and just them. All of you girls are amazing. Not kidding and I can’t wait to see ya on campus in the fall. I’m for sure going to miss our huge, memory phone, heaven BGB (big girl bed… thanks for the name em crowd.) That bed was the greatest. Lastly, as weird or as cheesy as this may sound, considering she’s 30 minutes away in provo, I am going to miss having a roomie. i’ll miss the deep talks, the dancing parties, jamming to music, random rounds of catch phrase, the constant laughing no matter what time of day, the long hours of our pal Norm... I’ll miss always blurting out my random dumb thoughts and yet you’d listen. What a trooper. Thanks for putting up with me megadump. You are a gem.

But…. As sentimental as that sounded, it may have convinced you that I miss it more than I love being home… wrongo. I am so excited to be home and to be living the life back in D-town (draper)… ya know. Here is a list of the things I plan to accomplish this summer. Strictly for your enjoyment.
