don't wanna miss this

Carson woke up this morning not feeling too well. He took his first sick day. Lucky for him, I have a really BAD case of senioritis and we just enjoyed the afternoon together. It was marvelously unproductive.  The idea that I have three crazy midterms this week looms in my mind but quickly recedes the moment I am with Carson.  I feel like I am in lalala land and I love it so much. 

however,

 I love school. I love learning. I always have. 

I think I am in denial about moving on. 

A daily conversation I have in my head starts off a little something like this:
"Rachel, you are going to miss waking up to this University every morning. Don't miss it."

and then I start singing Trace Adkins's song:

You're gonna miss thisYou're gonna want this backYou're gonna wish these daysHadn't gone by so fast
These are some good timesSo take a good look around

You may not know it nowBut you're gonna miss this

It doesn't seem real and I don't want to accept that I will not be taking classes on this campus for much longer. I have loved and cherished my experience at Brigham Young University more than words will ever express.....

BUT GUESS WHAT?! 

the Garretts are not quite done with BYU!

Today, I received the best news: My intelligent, driven husband got accepted to BYU with flying colors...I cannot WAIT for him to learn from some of the best, in one of the best programs in the nation! One step closer to accomplishing his dreams! I am so proud. 

Carson is a Cougar!!!! 

I am often/will forever be reminded of my cherished time spent here every time Carson wakes me up for Church singing the BYU fight song!
