11 Days Left

So, as the title of this post states, I have 11 more days left in Heber City. I have loved growing up in this beautiful valley, especially with the gorgeous mountains, picturesque sunsets and sunrises and much more. I love the farming feeling Heber has, although with more major things coming to town, such as the shopping centers, that small-town rural feeling is leaving. 

But I'm going from this small-town Heber, to this small-town Rexburg. It has more farms and small-town feeling that I love there. Whenever I have gone to Rexburg, there is such a right feeling! I feel like it's home now!!

Before, I was really nervous to leave, but as I'm packing things to take to school, the excitement and anticipation level has dramatically increased and the nervousness and anxiety has gone downhill. I am still quite nervous, but I'm started to get to really excited! I hope I get everything I need before I leave! 

This is probably my last (almost) full Saturday at home. Next Saturday will definitely be my last, but I am working a double shift at my job, Dairy Keen. I will be leaving around noon and get back around 10 or 11 that night. When they post the new schedule on Monday, that will be my last work week! I am so excited! I have loved having Dairy Keen as my job, but I am really excited that I get to go get an education about something I love so much! Teaching spunky and crazy kids! 

I teach Primary one more time, hopefully. My teaching partner teaches this week, but I don't know if I will be released this Sunday or the next. Hopefully I get to teach them next week, but if I don't, maybe that's good too, I don't know. I might be a little stressed getting ready for school. 

Although most of my friends have left for school already, I do still keep in touch with the friends that I'm the closest to, and I've gotten closer to some friends that I didn't think would want to. For example, I went to dinner and the movies with a girl that I've been friends with for a while, but we've never been the "best" friend material for each other. Come to find out, after dinner yesterday, we like a lot of the same things, and we have both been feeling pretty lonely due to our friends leaving for school. We are basically the only girls left in Heber that haven't left for school yet. She will be going to UVU this fall, and I am so happy for her! We looked for cute guys at Olive Garden, had creepy guys hit on us while walking to the movie theater, and attempted to eat a bucket of popcorn at the theater together. It was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I got to spend time with just us two. Usually when I've been around her, it's been with other people there too. We also decided to have a chick flick day! When that will be, I have no idea since she starts school on Monday, but it will happen sometime! 

I am so thankful for my many friends and for all the support they have been to me! Hopefully I have been somewhat of a help for them as well through the years, because they mean a lot to me! 

So, as I'm packing up some little things like my jewelry today, I remember that if my friends have gone to college and they're doing okay, I will be okay as well. 

After all, 

I was meant to go to BYU-Idaho.

It's the right place for me.

Thanks to inspiration and guidance, I know I'm going where Heavenly Father needs me to be.

Live. Love. Laugh. Grow.
