Again.

I hate to do this. Scratch that. Hahaha See what I did there? I love to do this. I believe it's time for another blog challenge.  So here we go.

So that's me. I love my eyes in this picture. I think it's really important to love yourself. Or to point out your pretty features. And sometimes it's okay to point out the ones you don't think are pretty too. They are what makes you, you. Okay so my day was pretty ordinary. I got up late, got ready, talked to Bethany, talked to Scott, and gave my sister a haircut. Then I went to the store with Mom and helped with dinner. She and I then watched the season Finale of Smash....and OH MY LIFE! SO GREAT. And now I'm packing up to leave and not wanting to really. :( This always happens to me.  But such is life right? Well I better get to packing! Thank goodness for Spotify!

It's times like right now.

It's times like right now, when I'm sitting on the floor, packing up my dorm room that I realize how sad I am to leave this place that has been my home for a year. I never thought in a million years I'd be here right now. But I couldn't imagine anywhere else I'd rather be. I've made friends for life, learned lessons that no classroom could have taught me and been infinite way too many times to count. SPOILER ALERT: I'm gonna get sad for a moment.
It's tough to imagine my life without seeing my best friends every day. It's weird to think that I won't be able to just call up Randall and play a round of Zombies (My current game of choice) or Bethany just to hang out, or Grace to talk about random things with. I know change is good and blah blah blah, but I love these people with my whole being but going our separate ways just sounds sad.
I wouldn't be who I am today without the times I've had here. Or the Diet Coke I've drank here. Or laughs I've had here. Or the long talks about life in my car over McDoubles at 3 in morning. (That was short lived...don't even get me started on that!) This will probably sound horrible, but I'm not gonna remember that English class I took 15 years from now, I'll remember the time I fell in mud almost to my knee and had a heart to heart with my best friend on the play ground. I'll remember that time I painted Gibby with my besties. I'll remember how cute I thought my boyfriend was the very first time we kissed because he was wearing his navy blue button down shirt with the cool pockets that I love.
I'll remember this. Right now.

The Best.

So this birthday started out like any other. It was my first birthday technically "away" from home, and I was sad. Not the kind of sad that made me mopey or anything, just sad in the way that I'm growing up and things change. So it was getting to that time of night where the night changes to morning and I celebrated with the two best guys I know, at a playground. My best friends Scott and Tim. I also had that first Diet Coke I've had in 50 whole days!!! GO ME! Anyway Scott made some really great toasts that I will not soon forget. They were beautiful. So I came home that night, unplanned. I couldn't wait to get home because my friends from Canada were here and I just love them so much. So I hung out with them for a few days and loved every minute. Then on Friday I had a tour at USU where I met with the acting professor and got an unexpected audition! Most nerve wracking and exciting thing ever! I'll know soon :) but then after some other events, I came home to a SURPRISE PARTY with all of the people that I love here :) I seriously had no idea it was happening. Not even a clue. BEST EVER. I'm so blessed to have so many beautiful and wonderful people in my life :) Thank you to all who made my birthday so incredibly special. I will NEVER forget it!

Brown Eyes

Looking in that glass that shows my reflection

I can't help but notice a few things.

My black hair that shines and sparkles.

My peaches and cream skin that is soft to the touch.

My lips that are full of plumpness.

And my eyes.

My eyes that I once thought were dull. And boring.

My eyes that I would have traded for any other color like a food item from my elementary school lunch box.

But now I see,

they are much more than brown. But a bronze chocolate brought to life. They are deep and exotic. Lovely and under rated.

They are all I have of you.

All that I will ever have.

Like you left them behind.
