change. i hate change.

today was the first day of my second week of school.

i didn't think it was a good idea to write anything about it last week,

because i'm pretty sure i couldn't have done it

without sitting on my couch for an

hour or more crying my eyes out. {oh wait, i did that everyday anyway}

i've realized lately, how afraid i am of change.

yes, i am living with my very best friends in the entire world.

yes, i get to be with the man of my dreams

everyday {DEFINITE PLUS}

and yes there are a billion things to do all the time because there is

actually a substantial amount of people living in the area.

but maybe i have a bad case of

the-grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side syndrome

because even with all of these spectacular things in my life,

i still can't help but miss

cute little ephraim.

{doesn't this picture make you miss it too?}

i miss my house.

i miss my yard.

i miss those sanpete mountains.

i miss my dog. {that's a BIG deal}

i miss the familiar smell of turkey poop. {never thought i'd say that}

i miss roy's pizza.

i miss kaitlyn's family.

i miss having one stoplight in the entire town.

i miss free parking at the college.

i miss the summertime bonfires.

i miss the fact that you can walk anywhere and it's

never more than a mile.

i miss the one finger wave to/from everyone you pass.

i miss going to wal-mart because there's nothing else to do.

i miss running into people i actually know.

but most of all, i miss these people...

{my cute family}

i miss my little brother and his sweet personality.

{michael}

i miss my little sister and her incredible ability to be herself, no matter what anyone thinks.

{lizzy}

i miss my older brothers and how much they make me laugh.

{david and daniel. no david is not crossed-eyed and no daniel is not an orney butt...posers.}

i miss my sister-in-law and our good sister talks.

{carli}

i miss my older sister and her enthusiasm for life.

{michael, rebecca, lizzy}

and lastly, i miss my adorable mom and dad. so much. i think i'll go tell them that right now...

i get kind of sentimental when i think about my family.

sometimes i wish i could go back to the good ol' days when

life was just fun and games.

all i needed was a sibling by my side to be happy.

i guess one good thing about all of this, is the fact that no

matter what happens, they'll still be family!

i love them all so much and can't wait to see them in only

4 days!! {and counting}
