Leaving Utah

Come April 24th, I am outta here! I am graduating on the 23rd, then my mom and I are packing up my car and heading home. I have spent the entire winter saying I will not miss Utah (I'm not a huge fan of being cold), but I'm not so sure that's true. Here is a list of the things I will and won't miss.

Won't Miss:

1. Dry Skin- Can't we get a little moisture?
2. Snow on my car. When I got back from Christmas Break this is what my car looked like. It took me about fifteen minutes to get the snow brushed off and the windows scraped. I then spent another half hour trying to get the car out of the stall. I would shovel a little bit of snow, try to back over it, then repeat the process. It finally took two of my friends four tries to push me out. Snow is pretty, but only from a distance.
3. People worrying about my dating life (and by people, I mostly mean the 2nd councilor in my bishopric who is just a little bit crazy).
4. Being so far away from my family
   

Things I Will Miss:

1. Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Bears- you can't buy them in Geogia and I think it is a shame.
2. The Family History Library- I know, I'm a dork. But, as a Family History major who hopes to do professional research, having it so close is so convenient. I drive to Sandy, hop on Trax, and I'm there.
3. Relatives- Having grown up away from extended family, it has been fun to be able to live near them for a few years. I have enjoyed being able to stop by my Grandma's house for a few minutes whenever I want (well, whenever I want to drive an hour to Bountiful).
   
4. FRIENDS- Old and New. I have made so many great friends out here and I'm really going to miss them. I also get to hang out with friends from my mission, which is cool, but the best part about living out here has been seeing OLD friends. I lived in Salt Lake when I was a little kid, but after moving to Georgia I lost contact with most of my friends (really, all but my oldest friend Megan). Being out here I have been able to reconnect with quite a few of them. A few weeks ago, I was able to have dinner with my friend Kimmi, who was one of my closest friends starting in Preschool until the time we moved. I hadn't seen her in thirteen years, but it was so much fun because we just seemed to pick up where we had left off. I also get the opportunity to see my friend Megan occasionally. When I say Megan is my oldest friend, I mean our moms were next door neighbors when they were pregnant with us. I really do want to move home, but I have so many friends out here whom I am really going to miss.
