Its that time again

The end of summer is coming very quickly, which means it is about time for me to pack up and go back to Idaho for school. When I came home I did not know how I was going to be able to handle being home for 6 weeks. I can honestly say I was not really looking forward to being home for such a long time, I thought I would just want to leave. But I realized very quickly that that would not be true.I have loved my time at home and the opportunity I have had to be with my family and build my relationships with them. I have been able to spend one on one time with everyone which has been so nice because I get to build my personal relationship with them before I leave again. 
   It is going to be hard to say goodbye because I have gotten use to being home but I know it is time for me to go back, and part of me is ready to go back. I love school so much and I love the friends I have made there. That is where my life is right now. It is such a great atmosphere for me to be in and I would not have it any other way. 
   I am going to miss my sister dates with the best sister in the world, I am going to miss playing games with my little brother, I am also going to miss the sweet spirit he has. He is only 9 years old but he is so strong he is a great example to me. I am going to miss my 17 year old brother, he is in his Senior year in high school, I am going to miss seeing him do all the fun activities I remember doing as a Senior and feeling on top of the world. And I am going to miss my parents so much! They mean the world to me and they do so much for me and my siblings. They both work so hard to make sure we are happy and taken care of, it is so hard to not be around them all the time.
   Words cannot express what I have felt this summer, but this summer has been different from the rest. I am finally coming to figure out who I am, and I have figured out I take joy in different things than I use to and different things mean more to me than they have in the past. It has been a long journey and there is still so much more to come but I am looking forward to it. "Find joy in the Journey"
