Change.

"Kitty (Katie), I don't what you to change schools" says Hannah.

Hannah told me that today out of the blue. I had no idea what she was talking about, but then it clicked. I'm leaving for BYU-I in September! I'm actually leaving. I had an overwhelming feeling of sadness come over me. Things are going to change in the next couple of months. It's a bittersweet change.
