Getting Close...

Today's post will be written in list form due to the fact that it feels more efficient to me.

So, today I:

1. Went to the dentist. Fun times! Not really, but it wasn't too terrible

2. Went to the bank and finished setting up my checking account. All that money that I made working this summer is now available for my use!

3. Made Tracy Alvarez banana bread. Soooo good! Most of the loaf was gone within the hour.

4. Swapped recipes with Cheri. I know, we sound like 65-year-old relief society ladies. It was good though. Now I can say that I have lots of wonderful recipes to sit in the kitchen while I make PB&J.

5. Went to Emily's house for literally 5 minutes. But I got to see Eli in a wrestling outfit in that five minutes so that made it worth it. (For those who don't know, Eli is 7. I would be disgusted if it was anyone older, but he was pretty dang cute)

6. Went to Kiwi Loco with my mom. We had been discussing what we should do tonight and I told her that I probably needed to go there one more time before I left. She said, "Oh, well let's just get that done right now." Very critical thing checked off the to-do list.

7. Went to Wal Mart with my mom.

8. Watched dumb (but entertaining) TV with my sisters.

9. Packed, packed, packed.

10. Listened to Sam's stories from her vacation.

11. Baked brownies

12. Packed, packed, packed.

13. Family time! Sam got home yesterday and my mom decided that tonight she was going to have all four of her kids at home together...even if just for an hour. We had brownie sundaes (yes I had Kiwi Loco and a brownie sundae in the same day...and I didn't run. In 48 hours I will be back to being on my own for food...give me a break today) and watched a bunch of funny Youtube videos (Yes, the whole family. It was mom's suggestion).

That about sums up the day. It was a pretty busy one. Tomorrow promises to be ten times as busy. I can't believe tomorrow is my last day here. I knew this day was coming but it definitely snuck up on me. It hasn't completely sunk in yet that I am done here and I won't be seeing any of these people for quite a while....some longer than others (like two years). I really, really don't like being far away from people that I love, and this summer I have definitely gotten too attached to the people that I have to say goodbye to tomorrow (and some that I have already said goodbye to). I'm stressed, and nervous, and sad, and excited, and happy, and anxious, and lots of other emotions that may or may not have names. Ugh, why must we go through change so freaking often? Don't ever get comfortable. That's what I've learned. Everything will change as soon as you do. Rude.
