So Much is Changing

So much is happening in the next 2 weeks!  And each event has a bittersweet quality to it.

  • Thursday--I have my last day at my job, as a nanny to this cute little girl.
  • Friday--I turn 20, leave behind my teens, grow up (just a little bit), grow closer to the age I act, enter a new decade.
  • Sunday--I speak in church and teach Relief Society
  • Wednesday--I say goodbye to all of my friends here in California.
  • Thursday--I say goodbye to my family :-( and head for Provo, with my Mom!!!!  I'm so excited she's going with me, excited to see my Brother, Sister-in-law, Niece, and future niece or nephew.  (Mom hasn't been able to drive me out to school before.  I've always gone with Dad, but this time Mom is coming!)
  • Saturday--I say goodbye to my Mommy and put her on a plane back to California.  :-(
  • Monday--I move into my new apartment.  In Provo.  All by myself.
I'm not excited for all of the changes, but I'm looking forward to all of the amazing experiences, memories, and opportunities that come as life moves forward.  

You can't stand still and expect everything to remain the same.  Life is like walking up the down escalator and you have to keep climbing, otherwise you're moving backwards.  So, I'm excited to keep climbing and experiencing.  :-)

...Hopefully I won't be singing a different tune when life kicks into high gear.  Haha

Holy cow! I can't believe it's time for you to go! We need to see you again before you leave! If I come by Wednesday, will we see you?

Yep, Wednesday I'll be home all day (I think) packing and cleaning. I hope I can see you before I leave!
