double win. I was sitting in class today filling out my schedule for my senior year. Yes, I said senior year. Anyways, my friend finished early, so she started filling out college applications. WOAH WOAH WOAH. I am still a kid. It is unfathomable that in less than two years I will be attending a school far, far away from this lovely place I call home. I can't believe that my time is almost up at my parents' place.
It seems like only moments ago Spencer and I were playing basketball in our pajamas (Spencer's being Buzz Lightyear, mine with pink flowers) in the kitchen on Kirkwood in Iowa City. It seems like seconds ago that my dad was filming me dance dreadfully on the orange carpet in the basement of the duplex on Friendship Street. It seems like its only been days since my favorite thing to do was jumping on the trampoline behind the house on Douglas. Oh, and minutes since the snow days in Lost Meadows when we would have to pave a path with empty water drums just to get our sleds down the hill. It seems only moments that we lived so simply, but I didn't know the difference. I almost wish I could go back and realize how blessed I was. I had no idea how simply beautiful my life was; no worries, no stress, no obligations.
I can't comprehend that sometime in the too-near future I will be starting a new story on my own. I will be looking back saying, "I remember when I was in high school, we always wore insert awkward style trend here" And also, it is unimaginable that it is possible I could be a wife (wait, what) in less than five years, and then the love cycle begins again.
I can't wait to be a poor college wife who lives on $15 a month and doesn't mind because I will be blinded by love, excitement, and new adventures.
xooxox. ehemm
