Here Comes Goodbye :(

Well, today is my last real day in A-town, my home, and with my best friends, especially Melanie! It is now just hitting me right now that I am not just going up to Greeley for a visit, but that I am actually moving my life back up there. Although I am going to have a great year, I am so sad to be leaving my life down here. I have met so many wonderful people while I was home for the summer, and strengthened an already great friendship. This summer has been filled with a lot of good times, and sad times also. But overall I think this summer has been the best I have EVER had! I had to opportunity to do so many things. I went rock climbing with my family. I went to the pool almost every day for a month and a half with Mel. I went on so many great dates. I woke up at 4 in the morning to go wakeboarding! I saw movies, played some intense volleyball, stayed up until 4 am, and even went to work the next day! I went mini golfing for the first time, got addicted to Dr. Pepper, and got to work with some of my best friends! I was attached at the hip to my best friend ever... and did everything with her this summer! As you can tell it was a very eventful summer! So thank you everyone for making it the best ever!

Me and Melanie BESTIES!!!

Get a load of me, get a load of you! <3

So I have been having the best summer ever! I have had to opportunity to hang out with some new friends, and of course my best friend pretty much every day! I don't think I would have had it any other way. Lately I have been contemplating my life in every way possible. I have been thinking about what I want in an eternal companion, about school, about my social life, about my religion, really just about everything! I love my life so much, and I am so thankful that I have to opportunity to do what I do.

I had to opportunity to give a talk in church today, and to sing two different times. I gave a talk on trials and how we are refined through them if we choose to be. It was a very eye opening concept to think about. I thought about how much the early saints suffered, and how Joseph Smith suffered so much in his life. These people suffered so much yet they chose to turn to the Lord with their trials. It just amazes me how some people can have that much faith. I know that I try and have that much faith, but it doesn't seem like I get anywhere. Anyway, I sang with a friend in church and it just filled me up so much. I love singing more than anything. I also sang my favorite song to sing, I Heard Him Come, in my aunts ward. I just LOVE singing! Haha

Another thing that has been poking and prodding at me is this whole boy situation I am in. I don't really know what to do about it, so I am winging it. I know somewhat what I want, and I know what I don't want. It can be confusing and hard to separate at times... but honestly if I know what I want then why not get it! Ahhh haha I love getting my words out there. By writing on this funny blog it feels like I am venting to someone who will listen! Haha I am such a dork!

Well I love all of my friends, and I have had so much fun this summer! It has honestly been the best summer of my life! Haha sometimes I just get butterflies for no reason... and well right now is one of those times! I just love my life right now! I love my family... I love my crazy sisters and my brothers, and my parents of course! I just love everyone! I am going to miss my life in Aurora when I go back up to school! But the show must go on! <3
