This past weekend, the bestie and I went on our last vacation before we both leave (I on my mission and he onto LA). We love roadtripping together and to celebrate the end of the dance-teaching year, my birthday, summertime, and just because, we went to St. George!
The bestie and I never fail to have an amazing time together, whether it be just sitting by a firepit contemplating life, to wandering the aisles of Wal-Mart, to sitting in a hospital lobby drinking chocolate milk and playing games, we ALWAYS have a blast!
So on Saturday after seeing The Little Mermaid (my all-time favorite princess!) at Tuacahn we went stargazing...
Sitting on the car next to my best friend, gazing at the beautiful desert sky, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed at all of the blessings I've received because of amazing people like him in my life. I don't want to leave anyone behind. It kind of scares me as I prepare to leave so soon... But I'll stick my chin up and move forward with confidence. Friendships and family relations shouldn't just die because one leaves on a misson..
A big part of my past makes me fear this tremendously. Saying goodbye is never goodbye with me... at least on my end. Am I doomed to that kind of fate again?
Nah. I hope not.
I know that I will be blessed for going on this mission. My friends and family back home will be blessed and watched over. I just don't want to miss anything.
It takes a great leap of faith to leave your loved ones behind. I have faith that all will be well! It just has to be...cuz why not?
This past weekend made me realize how much I'm going to miss everyone back home. (gee... I sound like I'm dying or something! Haha!)
I just have to forget myself and go to work. It's only 18 months! No biggie, right? :)
