you're gonna miss this

As I reflect on the past couple months, a song runs through my head. "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". I thought I would share a couple things that I'm gonna miss.

i'm gonna miss this fast-growing little buddy. why is he so big?

i'm gonna miss going up to michigan to build a playhouse for my little niece and nephews.

i'm gonna miss sitting downstairs watching peter pan with these cuties.

i'm gonna miss taking mirror pictures with marie.

i'm gonna miss taking selfies at 4 a.m. on the way to florida.

i'm gonna miss cutting frozen pizza with scissors bc we had nothing else to use.

i'm gonna miss stopping at the most random places to see alligators.

i'm gonna miss waking up at 5 to watch the sunrise.

i'm gonna miss late night dq runs

i'm gonna miss seeing all the palm trees

i'm gonna miss this big bro who moved out a couple weekends ago.

i'm gonna miss taking pictures at sunset.

i'm gonna miss florida

i'm gonna miss driving to lafayette with marie to visit people and eat out

i'm gonna miss taking literally tons of pictures.

i'm gonna miss eating at olive garden with my bestie

i'm gonna miss going to chicago and eating at the cheesecake factory

i'm gonna miss chelben, who died a couple weeks ago.

But then there are things that I may take for granted. Soooo...

i'm gonna miss waiting on my parents in hardware stores

i'm gonna miss hours of ironing

i'm gonna miss waking up *sigh* very early to go to school

i'm gonna miss math homework, i guess.

That song was such an eye-opener for me, personally. It may seem like forever until school is out or I turn 14, but I'm going to look back and realize how fast time flew. So never forget to enjoy the stage of life you're in.
