i've been going over this post in my head for the last week or so {i'm putting that down as a reason why it's taken me forever to update this blog...}.
today is my last day of efy {possibly for forever}.
there are a lot of different emotions running through me right now and i'm not too sure where to start.
efy is what i've done for the last 3 summers of my life. when may hits i'm in provo gearing up for the herds of youth that come the byu for a week of epicness. and then when august hits we say goodbye for a short 9 months. this time it's different though...
lately i feel as if it's my last summer with this wonderful program. it's been an amazing adventure and i will never forget the amazing people that i have met that have changed my life for the better. i will never forget the youth and all the crazy memories i have of them, and watching them make the decision to change their lives. most of all though i will never forget the sweet spirit that i felt everyday that i got up. there's nothing like waking up and automatically feeling the spirit and having it with you there wherever you go. i hear it's a lot like a mission.
there are a lot of things that i need to do with my life now. this program will press on even if i'm not there. its hard to think that i wont be putting on a polo next summer, but i feel that it's the right decision. besides, the future has a lot in store for me, and those things can't come unless i move on.
here are some pictures of the people i spent the last 3 months of my life with, the people i consider to be my second family:
the red {aka "team gryffindor"} team
my coordinators, scott and sarah
some of the red team
ryan, me, trevor, whitney, and katelin
i know how you feel. i honestly thought my last week of efy would be killer but it wasn't as hard as i expected it to be. i think because i realized how great of a program it is but also how great it is to move on with life...speaking of which i want an update with your life...we need to get together!
