A new school year

So I really can't believe I haven't blogged about everything that has happened to me lately. It has been such a busy time, full of so much change, and I have just been putting it off. I guess the first big thing that has happened is that my twin brother Alex left on his mission. It was an amazing experience to finally have him leave because not only is this something I always knew was going to happen, but he got his call to Perth, Australia a long time ago and has just been waiting to leave. It was sad of course to know that I wouldn't be able to see my twin brother for two years, but I know he is going to have so many amazing experiences and I am just so exited for him. Dropping him off at the airport wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Of course it was sad but there were two other missionaries  that were going on the same flight as him to salt lake and seeing him go through security with them made me feel considerably better. We finally just heard from him which was so exciting.
The other huge thing that happened to me was coming back top BYU! I have seriously been waiting to get back to Provo since the day I left and I'm really bad to be back. I'm living in an apartment this year with some amazing girls. I am so excited to be living with them and I know I am going to have a blast. I is definitely weird being back though. Almost all of the guys i knew last year are on their missions now, so while I am so excited and proud of them all, I can't help but be pretty sad that things this year are definitely not going to be the same as last year. But although that's a little sad and I miss some of my friends and my brother a lot, I know that this year is going to be full of great opportunities for me and I can't wait to see what happens
