Reminisce.

"Reminisce, talk some ****, forever young is in your mind."- Jay-Z


SO.
I know Jay-Z is not exactly an ideal guy to quote. And this quote is kinda crude. But...it truly describes one of the weirdest weeks of my life. I really mean it.

On Monday I'm just doing my job working at the Spoon, when a Polynesian kid and his lanky friend walk in and start talking to me. Look familiar? Yes. I was to say something. But. I just give them their yogurt like a good employee.

And then they mention Bountiful...which is where my roots are. So I mention I'm from Bountiful.

Thomas Hamilton. The kid was Thomas Hamilton. And lanky Kevin Allen. Then Evan Parry walks in.

Woah. It's like stepping into the Twilight Zone.

And this begins a week of nonstop fun. From sand volleyball to good talks, we just chilled and had some pretty good times. Seeing some dead birds after swimming and such. Talking about couples and ex's. Good old Mueller Park times.

This week, I've been reflecting on my life more than I have ever before. I have looked back...what if I hadn't moved? Would I still be hanging out with my old friends? Would I have made new ones in high school? What would my life be like now? And the big one:

Do I regret moving?


In ways, I regret I did. Moving was the hardest thing I've ever done. My 4 best friends were the greatest. We were so close and I know we would've stayed that way throughout high school. I would've been taking a Senior Trip with them, probably to Hawaii like we talked about. I would've been in better sports programs, and watched my football team actually win some games. I would be in my element, near Salt Lake, and hit up some major fun parties and such.

But. I loved my high school experience. While it was in a town I never thought I would live in in a million years, it's been fun. I've learned so many new things, had friends, boyfriends, break-ups, fights. I've had some great memories such as soccer trips, California, and State Volleyball...and I wouldn't have had those if I lived up north.

I love these boys. Especially Evan and Greg. We go way back....to the days of dating my friends in Junior High. But. I can't sit and wonder about what could've been....when I've had a truly great experience down here.

In 6 weeks, I'm moving again. But it's a move I'm excited for. And if it's anything like my move here or greater, I can't wait to move. :]
