Confession- Part 5

At last. We come to the final chapter.

So, after graduation I packed up some stuff, said goodbye to friends, put on yet another blue shirt (except this time it said Cougars instead of Jaguars) and headed off to BYU and my first year of College...

Chapter 4: FRESHMAN YEAR

BYU Summer 2008:

• BYU 68th Ward
• FHE Group Number 4
• Broadbent 26, 27, 28, 29 and Harris 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69
• The filming of A Landlocked Sailor
• Staying up ridicously late
• The BYU Creamery on 9th
• Me and Ceci's combined birthdays (CAKE FIGHT)
• Volleyball games
• Ward Prayer
• The Hill
• Walks to the Malt Shoppe
• Watching the EFY kids trying to act like students. Even though they had giant EFY lanyards hanging around their necks.
  
• The Y
• Dip-Dip-Dip
• D: All of the Above
• Brother Bott's Mission Prep Class (best class EVER)
• Crazy late night discussions with roommates (usually ended with several new inside jokes)
• Deep late night discussions
  
• Powerade runs
• Lunch with Allison in the Cougareat
  
• Studying the B.O.M with Brother Parker
• Studying for Parker's final with Kelsey

Then, life took a very dramatic and completely unexpected twist. Rexburg? Seriously?

Originally I had thought I would come home in August, work, then go on my mission. Well, obviously that's not how it all worked out. Heavenly Father wanted me to go BYU-Idaho. Why? No clue. I'll probably never know for sure, but I'm okay with that.

And with my papers going in in roughly 20 days, I find myself at the end of Chapter 4 and Part One. It's been a fun journey. The perfect way to close would be with what started this whole thing (no matter how "Disney" it is):

"Altogether, makes it better
Memories that last forever
I want the rest of my life to feel just like a
high school musical"

Ridicously cheesy, I know. But hey, it works.
