Anyway. The point is that it is coming and soon and I really cannot believe that it is a mere two weeks until I can have all the hugs I want and good card game fights I can take for two weeks. That's right. I was generously given two whole week away from Utah. More importantly, two whole weeks on the coast with my loved ones there.
The next two weeks themselves will be full of celebrations from get-togethers with friends, wedding receptions, and even a party at work. Then of course there is work to be done and preparations to make for the return home.
As this year draws to its close, I am nearly bursting with gratitude for the happenings that have passed the time and the friends that were made, and even the friends that were kept. It's beautiful when you realize that you are where you are meant to be at a given time and that even though some people simple pass through your life others are at least making the effort to stay--whether because there is more they will teach you or more for you to teach them or perhaps even that they simply like the company you keep---I am thankful for those people.
With the turning of the year, I feel a great sense of hope that next year will be even bigger and a lovelier mark in the past years I have been granted to live thus far. In just under two months I will be 24 years old. I don't feel near old enough but that's what the years tell me.
Anyway. I just wanted to share my excitement over the time frame I will be living through before Christmas strikes.
Love,
Me
