With the exception of Calli's stuff, my room is empty. Everything is packed, boxed up, or thrown away. But that's only because I'm leaving for school! And I couldn't feel better about it. On December 7, 2010, I received my acceptance letter to Brigham Young University - Idaho. I was so happy! :) And I haven't been able to stop being giddy about it. Tomorrow night, I'll start my journey to Idaho with Mom and Dad, 3 suitcases (most of which are stuffed with jackets and jeans), a carryon, a backpack, a basket of shoes, a camera, and ONE cookbook. Mostly because, I won't be making much. :)
I've discovered recently how much good can come out of Facebook. I love that I've been able to reconnect with my old EFY friends that I'm going to be spending the semester with. I love that I've been able to meet my roommates before I get to school. I love that I've been able to already feel like this school is where I'm supposed to be. Right now, I'm talking to a Bro. Sanders's niece via FB, who I've never met before, but seems great! I'm so excited to get to know all these awesome people. :)
My last three weeks of church in my home ward were tear-jerkers. All the graduated laurels bore their testimonies in YW a couple weeks ago. That was hard. We've been in the same ward and primary classes since who knows when. And now everyone is going all different directions. Well, actually I'm the only one going to Idaho. The rest are either at BYU in Provo or staying home. Either way, it's a very strange feeling. Since BYU started about a week ago, I've been one of the only ones left at home waiting for BYU-I to start. So the last two weeks have been flooded with people coming up and saying goodbye, asking for my Skype username, and giving hugs. Crazyness. Not to mention my mom bore her testimony in Sacrament Meeting yesterday on this huge milestone. :)
I seriously cannot wait. This is something I've been waiting for since I visited Annie at school when I was 10 and absolutely fell in love with BYU-I.
