I totally lost it today...

I was doing so well with checkouts-hadn't shed a tear. Not when I said goodbye to my roommates, other residents, boys in the ward, or my Kimball boys. Once I hit this afternoon I came to the conclusion that the tears wouldn't happen until I said goodbye to the RAs and HAs.

Then it happened. I was setting up the empty bedrooms for Women's Conference and I hit the room where two of my favorite girls lived. They both spent a lot of time with me throughout the year. Elora was one of the first girls to move in, and she moved in a few days early, so we ate ice cream together and watched movies and finger painted together until everyone else came. Lesley was my hall president, a future RA, and just hilarious. I got to their bedroom, and Elora had left me a note on her bed. The back of the note was one of the pictures we had fingerpainted together. We had each put our hand prints on it, and the note said how this picture reminded her that she could come to me whenever because I was always willing to lend a helping hand. I totally just lost it as I read the note and saw the handprints.

Then. I came back down to my room and my iTunes was on. The song that started right after I came into my room was "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins. Ya. That killed me too. Since you might not know the words, I'll put some of them here:

You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Then I just kept crying. And now I'm writing this, still crying. Is it pathetic that when I walked back into my room the first thing I did was pick up my laptop and log in to blogger? Wow, go me.

In about 24 hours I'll be out of here. WEIRD.
