Things I can't wait for

You know those days where you think, "I just can't wait for the future, when I am not in as much limbo"? 

Well, today is one of those days. 

One of those days, where all the stress just hit me. I am graduating soon, not certain about my future, worried that I am not good enough, etc. It has been one of those days, I that I realized that my future is entirely and completely up to me...which can be scary or exciting. Today, I feel like it is really scary. 

So here are some things that will be happening in the next....6 or so months that I just CANNOT wait to happen:

Tuesday, my NEW SHOES will arrive!! You better believe I have constantly been checking UPS tracking website to make sure that they are "in transit, on time". I AM SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED for these suckers! I might just have to sign up for the Halloween Half Marathon once I get these bad boys. 

Graduation (this picture was 4 years ago when I graduated high school). I can't believe that in just 65 days, I will be DONE. I will be Kelli Young with a Bachelor's degree...if I don't drop dead from stress! Also good news, I am HALFWAY done with my internship. So far, I have observed 18 counseling sessions, presented at 6 workshops, and put in nearly 80 hours. I CAN'T WAIT to be done and move forward!

For this child to return to Zion. I can't believe that Rosie (on the far right) is nearly DONE with her mission. Did that fly by or what!?! She has been an awesome missionary, but the selfish side of me wants my bestest friend back. She really is one of the best people that I know. 

To go to Cancun in April!!! Is it possible to already have seasonal depression the very first day that it gets cold in Logan? Cause I am pretty sure it is. I HATE the cold. It really puts me in the most gloomy/depressed mood EVER. I even looked up how harsh the winters are in Washington D.C. before I applied for my internship back there. I think that they are very different from Logan winters...maybe a little more mild as far as the snow goes. The average winter day is in the 30's, as opposed to -500000 in Logan. Okay, slight exaggeration...but Logan winters are really the worst thing that I have EVER had to deal with in my entire life. I HATE COLD. 

With that being said, come back sun...even just until Fall break is over. This sudden change has not been good for my soul. I thought I was a pretty dedicated runner...until it got freezing and my workouts have more "strength-focused" as I have been lifting heavy amounts of hot chili into my almost frozen-shut mouth.
