big people...almost.

Today is the beginning of the end. That sounds pretty dramatic doesn't it? It's the first day of the last semester of our time here at Brigham Young University. I'm about half way through my day of classes and I keep thinking it'll hit that we wont be here for much longer but it hasn't. Maybe at the end of the semester? Or when we actually leave? Who knows! But I'm determined to enjoy our Provo as much as possible in the next few months!! As I went through my photos to find a picture for this post I realized I how hard it was to just find one! We loove it here in Provo, there is so much to do, so much to explore and so many people to meet that it makes it impossible to not love. The summer is warm and great for me and my love of all things hot and swimming and the winters are cold and snowy for Kimball to ski and enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited to move to Chicago but we will definitely miss Utah and its diversity of activities we can enjoy here. BYU has been nothing but an amazing experience of growth in literally every sense of the word. I can talk all day about how much I love BYU and Provo but the real point of this blog post is my realization that we'll be big people soon! People who don't go to school and have real jobs and live in real homes in non-college town cities. It's going to be weird and exciting and wonderful and a little intimidating all at once and I feel completely ready for it. I'm so grateful for the pictures and journal entries and blog posts I've done for our years here at BYU to remember the fun we've had. Jdawgs will forever be the hot dog joint that changed my mind about polish dogs, Stans will probably always have the best soft serve (in my mind), nickelcades will always be compared to Nickel City (and will most likely never live up to it) Provo Bakery will always be the place I think of when I eat a raspberry roll, the dollar theatre will never be beat and the canyon will always be our prime spot to go stargazing. There are so many other things we'll remember from the pictures we took and the things we've written down. But I'm ecstatic to move on and make more memories, take more pictures and write more hilarious or difficult or strengthening happenings. I have one more semester to be a little person and the rest of my life to pretend to be a big one :) Thank goodness I have a husband who loves me enough to help me know how to act big but is okay with me remaining little. (forever). 

So as The Refreshments so wisely sang, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

this picture was taken up in the canyon the day before kimball proposed :)

just one of the many wonderful memories forever captured.

because i am blessed.
