That I leave for BYU-H in THREE months!!!! Oh my goodness. I'm not going to lie... I have been in complete and utter denial... It's not that I am not excited - really I am - but I'm not sure I am ready to go live on my own... on an island... across the country... Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Hawaii. It will be great! I know... but I am about to have to be the farthest away from home I have ever been in my LIFE! I mean, I have been on vacation without my parents before, only once by myself, but then I always come home... and it's only ever been for a couple weeks MAX... Oh my goodness... It's kind of a scary thought. I won't get to come home whenever I want. I won't get to hang out with my sisters and brother. I won't get to talk to my parents whenever I want, or just get a hug from my daddy when I need it. I won't get to spend the day with my mom because I don't want to go to school. I won't get to skip school ever... I won't get to spend time with my friends... Sure I will have my phone, and facebook, and skype... but it just won't be the same. I have seen lots of people go off to college and they did fine... but what if I can't. What if I end up so home sick that I have to come home early. What if I get island fever? Lots of things to think about with this big move coming up, and I'm sure I will do fine. I'm sure I will love it. Heck! I'm even sure that at times I will be so glad to be on my own - not that I don't love my family... ;) I guess this is what I get for being in denial, and refusing to accept the facts, but I know I'm not the only one. Well, thanks for listening to me ramble. I am really going to miss you all.
Southern Belle in Paradise... well almost
You will do fine. Life might be a bit hard, but we will always be here for you. But unlike when I left home and moved far away years ago (in the dark ages), we didn't have cell phones, and every phone call cost a lot - no unlimited long distance. We didn't have skype, we didn't have email… snail mail and the occasional phone call were it!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are going to have so much fun while you are in Hawaii! I hope you make lots of fun friends! I hope you have wonderful experiences, both spiritual and in the rest of your life.
We will miss you tons, but I am looking forward to hearing about all the things you will be doing.
