I made it to Utah! I am so excited! Today I'm at my Grandparents house in Manti. I absolutely love how quiet it is and how many wide open spaces there are. I forgot how much I love Utah. It is amazing out here. You can see for miles. Back home the furthest you can see is to the edge of your front yard. Out here the mountains are amazing and the weather is beautiful.  Also the Manti temple is just down the road, it is absolutely phenomenal. It is the most beautiful thing ever. I am so beyond happy to be here. I think I want to live out here when I'm older. It is seriously the most beautiful place.

Just talking to my Grandparents makes me to grateful to have them in my life. unfortunately I don't have any grandparents on my Fathers side anymore and the grandparents I do have I don't get to see very often. However when I do get to see them I am so happy and I love talking with them. I am so glad I will be out here and can see them more easily.

last day.

so today was my last day in Virginia.. It's bittersweet really. I am going to miss my family, but I am so excited to start college! Today consisted of tears, goodbyes, and packing. I have seriously never been so stressed out in my entire life. I don't even know how I made it through today without punching something. I feel like my time has run out and I have no choice, but to leave. I am okay with that, but a part of me is also grasping on to every last moment I have here with my family. I am so bipolar when it comes to this, but I am...

excited.
nervous.
scared.
sad.
happy.
and a bit nauseas...

This is my last night in MY bed. my last night in MY room. my last night in MY house. my last night in MY precious Virginia.

As I will miss many things about this place I will not ever miss the traffic.. Virginia really has made me grow up and stand on my own two feet. I love it out here, but I feel the west coast is where I need to be at this point in my life. I cant wait to move into my apartment and just be on my own... however, the idea scares me too... like I said BIPOLAR... Anyhow this has been a wonderful last day and I know I will be back before I know it!
Here I come Idaho!!! Watch out!
