So this is it. I'm done after today. I leave for Utah tomorrow morning at like 6. Wow. It's weird to be leaving. And like, Lauren's already gone, Jennifer left for USC, Diana is out of town, Kjrstin just left to go out of town too, so Trisha's here to say goodbye... Weird!
I fit all of my life in about 7 boxes, plus a suitcase. Can you believe it I had to fit MY ENTIRE DRESSER into a SUITCASE because my dad wouldn't let me have anymore boxes. But I did it. I'm impressed by it anyways.
So my mom and I drive out tomorrow, stay at Aunt Jodi's house tonight, and then I start to unpack for an hour Monday morning and leave for Aspen Grove for the Foundation of Leadership conference. OH! And we might be swinging by the Allred's for lunch/visit when we get to Vegas. So that'll be fun. Then my dad is driving out with the Smith's on like Thursday or Friday so he can go to the football game (lol) and he and Mom leave Sundayish I think.
It's all very exciting, but I'm also really sad to leave. Talking to Kjrstin last night made me very nostalgic of everything we've been through and everything else that has gone on in our lives, especially throughout high school. I found all my old yearbooks, but I haven't had the heart to look through them because I just know it'll make me really sad.
But I'm really glad that I know people out there too. Like Aubre and Hayley and Ashlyn and Eliza and Rachel and Kristin and Emmaleigh and Mandie and of course my sweet new roommates that I've yet to meet. But I'm really going to miss my family. I can't even think about that. About not being here for choir concerts and baseball games and back-to-school nights and elementary school carnivals and 2nd grade patriotic concerts and oral language and dances and birthdays and things like that.
There's still so many things that I feel like I need to do before I go to bed tonight. So I'll write more soon. But as for Bakersfield, this is it! :/ Good luck everyone! I'll miss you dearly!
New Song for today: Fade Away by Celine Dion (thanks Mandie!)
