Lately when I eat something or hang out with certain people I think to myself, "Man how am I going to go without this for a year?", or "I sure am going to miss this." For example:

sweet tea(specifically from Taco Casa and McDonalds)

my jobs and simple daily routine

sweet, precious friends

ICEEs

Summer Snow- it may look like a little shack to you but it is FAR more than that

comforts of home (bed, shower, driving wherever I want)
 

rockstar parentals and oh so dear brother

alone time

Alabama football, my college campus, and this good ol' town

But then I think about what I am going to be doing instead. I think of the crazy amazing 6 people I get to do life with. I think of the squad I get to traveling with. I think of the faces of the orphaned children I will get to spend time with, the hopeless I get to bring hope to, and the healing I will get to witness.

And these are the things that make what I'm going to miss worth it.
