You're Gonna Miss This...

Trace Adkins sings a song called You're Gonna Miss This. The chorus of the song says:
You're gonna miss this,
you're gonna want this back.
You're gonna wish these days,

hadn't gone by so fast.

These are the good times,
so take a good look around.
You may not know it now,
but you're gonna miss this.

Back when I started going to school at BYU-I, I was anything but convinced that I would miss Rexburg. I HATED every second of being at school, and didn't understand why I

felt so strongly to attend school here. I questioned why I was at BYU-I, and wondered why I listened to the prompting to come here since I was doing nothing but suffering every single day...

However, I have a slightly different opinion of Rexburg now. Yeah, amazing. I think one of the biggest reasons my opionion changed is because of these guys...

I have THE greatest roommates and Bishop ever! Bishop Rossiter just got released this past Sunday, but he has had such a huge impact on me and my life. Every week after sacramaent meeting, he would stand up and say, "We love you!" I know he was sincere, and that he really did love me. He was my Bishop the whole time I was at BYU-I. I love him and am grateful I could always turn to him for anything.

My roommates.

This picture was taken the first week of school, back in September. Right from the first week, I could tell I was blessed to be roommates with each of these girls. What an amazing influence they have been to me in my life. They've turned into some of my best friends, and it's going to be hard to leave them next week. They have taught me to love myself for who I am. They have taught me that things always happen when we least expect them to. They have taught me to always be happy, and to always keep going. They have taught me what true friends are like, and have showed me how special I really am. I love each of them so much, there are no words to tell them how much I appreciate them and everything they have taught me.

It's amazing what can happen when you are put in the right place, at the right time. As my time here in Rexburg quickly comes to a close, I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity I have had to go to school here. I really am going to miss this, and know that next week, once i'm back home, I'm going to wish these days hadn't gone so fast.

Since I live my life with no regrets, I'm going to make my last few days here in Rexburg count. I'm going to live it up with my amazing roommates! I'm going to enjoy my time here, and I'm going to do amazing on my finals! :)
