i said bye to steven and returned his guitar book. i hope he has a good life.
i said bye to jesse and gave him a copy of the scrapbook. he appreciated it.
i said bye to my roommates, jennie and candace, but im pretty sure ill see them again. it didnt feel like a forever goodbye.
i said bye to choco and thanked him, again, for his gift. he has a good heart and ive always appreciated his genuine friendship.
i said bye to cathy and got to see her new place. i feel good about where she's at right now. and i hope we can keep in touch.
i said bye to erwin, but only for a few weeks before i say goodbye again.
i said bye to john, who forgot he lives in 48. lol. i hope he finds a job so he doesnt have to be a bum.
and then i told meags that i felt closure. ive said my goodbyes, i feel good about leaving provo, and im ready for the next step. its been a great four years. but for some reason i dont feel like im leaving for good. theres a part of me that feels like ill be back. maybe i will, maybe i wont; we shall see.
but for now, im ready for the next chapter. next stop: minnesota!

I've been thinking a lot lately about how nothing in life really "ends".
Things may close for a season, but I believe it all comes around full circle.
I'm excited to see where life takes you after the mish.
Parting is such sweet sorrow...
Life is full of contrast, dicotomies that are intertwined, just like ying and yang.
In Hawaii, we never say goodbye, and choose instead "See you later" or "Until We Meet Again".
If you reaquaint yourself with Provo it will be an old friend, but if you don't you gave it all you got and leave nothing "on the table" or undone.
We all should feel that way about all that we do, leave with no regrets, but only appreciation to have passed that way.
Sadly, and soon you will have to say goodbye to blogging. The mish will not allow it. We will miss the regular updates about your life. This would have been a great way to "live" the next 18 months with you. But we will settle for the weekly email letters.
i felt like this post sounded like you were dying... it was a little weird.
but after i got over the weird maybe bittersweet is the better word. and i decided that i'm lucky that i still get to see you until july because i'm not good with goodbyes :)
p.s. i agree with dad: it will be sad not to have your posts to look at...
i agree, i think you'll be back. at least for a little bit.
cami! lol. are you kidding me? it does NOT sound like im dying...thats so dramatic. lol. your comment made me laugh. literally.
i decided that i don't like to say goodbyes... but i'm glad that you got closure to your byu experience and that you're ready for your next "chapter". i'm also excited that you're ready and worthy to go on a mission. =)
me too!
