Memory Lane

IT'S HERE.

The time has come, college time. It literally feels like just yesterday I was freaking out at work because I had just been informed of my admission to BYU. Now it's here! Where did the time go??

Packing up and getting ready to leave has made me super reminiscent! Prepare for a sappy full-of-feelings kind of post.

I am extremely excited/stressed/nervous/sad/scared/happy to be starting this new chapter in my life! I'm a mess, I can't decide on an emotion. One second I'm crying sad tears, the next they're happy, and on it goes with this roller coaster.

First just want to give a biiiiig thank you to my amazing mom. Honestly I can tell her anything and everything. She's been a role model and best friend to me my whole life. I can only hope I'll be close to as good of a mom as her one day! She's prepared me for life, and I owe her a million times over. She will be missed every day that I'm gone. I love you mom!!

Well now let's look at some old pictures I dug up just because we can, and I think they're hilarious.

 

Those awkward middle school years. Have a whole bunch of me and lex, this was the least embarrassing one I could find! Definitely teared up and laughed at the same time. Love you tons lexe, keep fighting <3 Don't hate me for posting this (:

Polaroid picture...spent a good chunk of time at Iceberg! Had some amazing coworkers that made all the difference. Miss them!

Somewhere along the way I grew up.

Feel like I've changed so much even between this time last year and now! So many people have made such an impact on my life. I feel totally blessed and overwhelmed with gratitude. I have a million people to thank, if you're reading this, you're probably one of them! So thank you for making me who I am today. You're great.

Of course have to recognize the best friends a girl could have. Lexe, Megan, Challie, I love you guys more than you know!! No doubt in my mind we will be friends for life. Thanks for every little thing.

Alright, I think that's enough feelings for a post or ten.

This past week has been full of packing and working 8-9 hour shifts at my new job.

Work update: each day gets better! I'm beginning to get the hang of things and feel somewhat like I know what I'm doing. I'm especially beginning to enjoy the idea of working a normal 3 hour shift...

Got a whole 48 hours this week, which consisted of waking up at 4 a.m. and getting home at 3 p.m. Craziness people!!! Being in that fridge-of-a-room so much not only made me cold, but made me get a cold as well. Boo.

I know you're probably dying to see my lunch lady gettup, so here I am in all my hair net glory.

Awesome, right?

I've also kept busy finishing up my college dorm decor. Sewed some pillows!

The ruffled one was almost the death of me. Took forever! But I looove it. It can be compared to this fourty dollar one from urban outfitters...

I like mine better anyways.

Still can't believe I move in four days. FOUR DAYS! I've done all I can to prepare, so bring it on. Let's do this.
