Is it wierd that I miss my room back at BYU? It must be. It is wierd to miss Deseret Towers, but I do. To an extent. I really enjoy being here with my family. This is home. I guess it’s wierd staying in my home on a inflatable mattress in the basement behind the pool table. And I don’t have my speakers, so my lap top doesn’t sound the same. It is high pitched and whiney- aparently my music must also miss my room. But sleeping in the basement- I thought it was bad when my roomate had to get up early or when a neighbor nocked on my door in the morning. I have people walking in the basement at the worst possible times in the morning. It’s not right. Where do you think Santa’s workshop and secret hideout are? Hmmm? That’s right.
Christmas this morning was beautiful and giddy. And it is my last Christmas before I leave on my mission. My last Christmas with my family for two years. Talk about mixed emotions. Today I have felt like somesort of mixture between a toddler with chocolate cake and a thirteen year old girl at that special time of moon. I feel at once like I have lead the perfect life and am completely blissful to bask in this family which has been so blessed and like I have so much left to do that I can’t possibly finish it all before August. I don’t know. I have been toying with the idea of doing a spring and summer semester, but will that leave somethings unfinished?
Someone needs to scold me. It is my last Christmas home for the next two years and I am sitting here writing meaningless figurative fluff. I’ll be back with something that means something later. (To tell you about Christmas Eve, the presents I got, etc).
