Well...I'm back in Georgia. It is definitely bitter sweet. I had a few moments of wait, why am I leaving?? when I was packing up my apartment, but I think that once the whole family gets together and I start getting my summer plans figured out, I will be a little more reassured of my decision to come home (hopefully). But, at least I had a perfect week to send me off for the next couple months. So a couple of the things that made it so great...
I am so glad that I was in Provo to send off my cute friend Rachel Farnsworth on her mission to Kiev, Ukraine. I still remember meeting her freshman year outside of the Canon Center. Rachel was one of the very first friends that I made when I came out to BYU. I am so grateful for her friendship, but so bummed that I won't get to see her perfect face for a year and a half. She is going to be an incredible missionary, and I am proud of her for her willingness to go on a mission and dedicate a year and a half to serving the Lord. I have so many friends on missions right now. I miss all of them a ton, but I know that they are doing great things. I have incredible friends.
Another exciting thing? I dyed my hair!
Not all of it, just the last few inches, but I absolutely love it. My sweet hair stylist roommate helped me out by bleaching the ends of my hair and then dying them a dark red. (It looks a little more purple in real life than in the pic, but it gives ya a good idea.) I told my roommate that I wanted my hair to have a fox tail look when I put it up in a pony, and she did a perfect job. (If you've read my blog before you know foxes are my favorite.) I figure this is perfect. I get to have a little fun with my hair (which I think more people should do), but when I get sick of it I can just chop off all the dyed parts. But, I don't think I am going to get sick of this anytime soon. I keep forgetting that the ends are dyed and randomly I look down, remember, and get a little bit happier. Haha.
Well, at first I was nervous about spring semester, and now I can't believe I had never stayed for spring before. Thanks to everyone who made spring so lovely. Stay classy Provo. DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME WHILE I'M GONE!
peace. love. and summer at home.
