So I hadn't actually planned on taking a break from blogging while I was home for Christmas, but what can you do? I can't use the excuse of not having time, or not having anything to say. I had both of those. I was just lacking desire. So here I am back in my little room, in my little house, in my little town of Buena Vista ready to get back on top of this. Probably I am going to keep this brief today though because I have been up since 3 a.m. and I really want to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Rather than give every detail of the last couple of weeks, can I just tell you that it was amazing? Seriously. Everything about it was wonderful. We didn't do any crazy exciting things and I didn't get a new sports car for Christmas, but it was just perfect in every way. I absolutely love absolutely everything about being home....especially the people. I had the best Christmas/Birthday/New Years. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little reluctant to get on that airplane this morning. I definitely could have used a little more time at home. It made it even harder to leave when my plane got in the air and I got a great view of how beautiful my home state is. The sun was just starting to rise on the horizon and between the clouds and colors, it looked absolutely amazing. That sunrise mixed with the huge mountains and winding rivers below made a picture perfect scene that I really hated to leave. Luckily, my second home state is beautiful too. I have mixed emotions about being back. Mostly I am not looking forward to the semester from....you know where....that I am about to begin. The thought of 18 credits of core classes almost makes me nauseous. Especially when the most that I have had before now has been maybe 14. It's going to be rough. I have hope that it will be fun too though.
On another, less related note, I said something on my birthday about being two decades old. My mom then said something like "Just think what's coming in this next decade." Holy scary! I never realized how huge your 20's are. They are kind of the defining years of your life. If all goes according to plan, in the next ten years I will: graduate from college, go on a mission (maybe), get my Master's degree, figure out a career path and start on it, get married, maybe even have a child (or two), and much more. Wow. That freaks me out a little bit. I'm just a kid! Growing up is really scary and stressful and exciting. Most important decade of my life....here I come!
Other random thought: I hate goodbyes. They are not the least bit fun. They have become a pretty common occurrence for me and I just really don't love that. I am much better at them now than I was a year and a half ago, but I still hate them. A lot.
Okay, that's going to be all for tonight. Ha remember how I said it was going to be brief? What a joke.
