The thoughts of a jumbled mind..

My favorite color is blue....I like to sing in the shower...I hate orange construction cones...Oh and did I mention I leave for the Dominican in ONE day! Ahhhh!!! Eeekk! Hooray! I'm a little bit extremely excited!

So long Utah...see you in two weeks!!! That's about all I have for now..

Oh, one more thing...have I mentioned my love for Sprite on airplanes? Only one. More. Day! :)

Rain, rain, rain!

Though many people may disagree, I have loved the rain the past couple of days. Aside from the cold that is. My favorite is when it's pouring rain with lots of thunder and lightning. In an odd way, I find it sort of comforting.

It makes me want to snuggle up with a book (as nerdy as that may be), or watch a great movie. I love the times just as it's starting to downpour and you have to make a mad dash into your house or car. I love that excited feeling of trying unsuccessfully to avoid the rain and getting completely soaked. After that you might as well just keep playing in the rain!

Someday, I want it to rain so hard that I can go down the road in a canoe. And someday I want someone to dance with me in the pouring rain. Since I tend to be a hopeless romantic, I had to throw that one in there haha.

Another favorite part of the rain, is that it's always followed by a rainbow. No matter how hard the storm gets, there is always that amazing fresh rain smell and a great rainbow.

Bittersweet Endings

One of the only things I ever really worried about with college was getting crazy room mates, the kind that steal your socks in your sleep...or worse. However, I ended up getting to room with three of the most amazing girls.

We had frequent ice cream runs, ate countless treats, and distracted each other constantly from homework. They have been there for me countless times throughout the year, even if it was just to listen to me ramble or to take me to bed when I fell into my sleep-like state.

They are each so amazing in different ways, and I'll always be grateful that I got to see what it is that makes them that way. I'll also forever be thankful for everything they did/do for me. They each never failed to help me figure out my little problems, bring comfort, let me leak on their shoulders or make me laugh. And since we all thought we were pretty funny (which of course we are), there were endless laughs and good times.

Even with such a great year though, it had to come time for things to change. It meant many good things and new adventures for each. However, along with change also had to come goodbyes. I'm definitely not a fan of goodbyes, sometimes they just seem too permanent.

So instead of saying goodbye, I'm going to stick with "See ya later!" And even though we won't be rooming together anymore, or even in the same town for a couple, they'll still be my close friends.

Moral of the story, don't be afraid of letting people come into your life. You never know the impact they might have or the memories you might make! :)
