I'm a cougar!

Life is good.  I am so happy to be alive.  As a dear person once said “I’m on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friends.”  This weekend has been of the best weekends ever.
On Friday afternoon, with trembling hands, I typed in my username and password for the BYU website to check my application status, and up at the top, under BYU Provo, it said one word: Admitted.  I clicked on the link next to it, and the first thing I saw was “Congratulations!” I could barely keep on reading the rest of the acceptance letter before I started screaming.  “MOM! MOM, COME HERE RIGHT NOW! I MADE IT!!!”  That moment was possibly one of the happiest moments of my entire life.  Everything had been leading up to this very moment.  BYU Provo is the only school I’ve ever wanted to go to, and I’m so grateful to have been accepted. I called my best friend who is currently attending BYU and told her the good news, and then I drove over to my other best friend’s house to tell her that I'm now a BYU cougar!
That night, I had one of the most fun girls nights with three of my best friends.  We went and saw The Vow, and sat up in the front so we could see the glorious Channing Tatum up close and personal.  Then we went to the grocery store and got cream sodas in bottles that looked like beer, and we went back to my friend’s house and sat on top of her car and we drank our cream sodas.  We looked up at the stars while we talked about college and marriage and that scary thing we call The Future.  It made me think about everything ahead of me, and to be grateful to just be living in the moment. 
Then on Saturday, it was a momentous day.  First of all, Saturday was February 18^th.  It may not seem like a big deal to you, but from that day, I have exactly three months until my last day of high school, and four months until my first day at college (I’m taking summer session at BYU).  Everything now seemed to be coming so close!
Also, I got to see three of my best friends that had left for college and were home for the weekend.  It made me so excited that in only a few months I would be going to college like them.  We all exchanged stories, talked,  laughed, watched a movie, and it was such a great night.
Monday, we had off of school because of President’s day, so it was a par-tay!  Sonous, the top choir at our school, had a get together at someone’s house.  This was the first time I was able to go one of these, so I was really excited!  We ate food, talked, play games, and had a ton of fun.  It was great to feel like I was a part of something awesome.     
Anyway, tonight marks the end of an amazing 3 day weekend J
