All Good Things Must Come To An End

Well, here I am in the middle of December remember thinking that I would never come or get this far. Boy, was I wrong! What a crazy/incredible/humbling experience this has been. I have completed ample amounts of homework and projects, gone through at least one ream of paper on papers and printouts, spent too much time on my laptop, made my legs burn from walking everywhere and lots of time on my knees--hours on end were dedicated to these things. How in the world did I survive these fast-paced 3 months?! Lots of laughter, love, tears, memories, quotes, scriptures, friendships, roommates, music, sleep, phone calls, food and smiles...just to name a few. As I was sitting in sacrament meeting for the last time this semester, it hit me and I actually realized something; could I quite possibly LIKE it here? I really am going to miss the people, ward, bishop, neighbors, environment and memories that I have gotten to know and create here. What in the world am I thinking?! It is so amazing what you learn and realize as you look back on things, even as little as three months ago. I never thought I would last or that I was going to survive it up here. A rocky road it was at first, but now it is actually starting to smooth out. I am such a stronger person and I am so proud of myself and all that I have been through and accomplished. I have come to learn that you have to cherish the moments you have and are in right now (even when they aren't pleasant or fun) because they don't last forever. Now that I am wrapping up my time here in Rexburg, I am now starting a new page in this chapter. I don't know if I'm coming back and I don't know what I am going to do, who I am going to hang out with and what my life is going to entail but I do know that what I need/should do is give it my all. I have ideas and thoughts of what I would like but in the end I need to have faith and trust, then I can turn the rest over to the Lord and leave it in his hands. Let his will be done. I can do hard things :)

The Things I Do.

This pretty much sums it all up.
