My Missionary!

I never thought I could love someone as much as I love him.

I know we have a crazy and long road ahead of us, but I know we can get through it.

Brady opened his mission call tonight :)
I bawled. Well kinda :p

I drove home from college today and was dropped off straight at Brady's house! (My family wasn't home or I would've gone there!) Anyways, it was amazing to see my babe! I know.. it had only been six days since I last saw him but it was just different. It had felt weird being home in West Jordan, and weird to hug Brady. After a while I felt normal again. I really miss spending all my time with him, and being home and seeing my family and my cute puppy! But Snow is where I need to be in my life right now and I just feel good about it :) I miss my roommates already!

So I put my stuff in his room and I saw the envelope on his bed... gah! I almost started crying right then and there. I just instantly walked out, I didn't want to see it yet! :/ We then went and got pizza for dinner and then family and friends started coming over :) It was good to see everyone and I was getting nervous. Megan & Preston came over and Megan had already gone through the same thing with Preston. He's come home so he can get better and he'll be back on his mission in January. Anyways, so she knew how I was feeling and it was nice to see her again!

Everyone came and we all waited, with our cameras on, video recording or just taking pictures. I sat right next to Brady.. I just wanted to hold his hand and cry but he had to open his call. He opened it and started reading.. he eventually got to the call and he'll be serving in the England Manchester, English speaking mission!! :) I'm so happy. He's so relieved he's going some where safe, easy and English speaking ;)

But I cried. I started crying and Megan just had that look on her face like, she just knew. She just understood. I love that girl so much. I hope she knows just how much I really appreciate her friendship. Even though we had some rough patches in the past, I still look up to her and everything she does. She's one great example! Anyways, I cried, and I think everyone saw, but nobody said anything. Which I was grateful for! Hahaha but I'm happy for Brady and I hope he knows that :) I just felt comfortable and happy after he read it. I just know he's going to have such an amazing time. I mean, I got selfish and started tearing up and thinking about how hard it'll be to have him leave RIGHT before finals and the semester ending, but I just thought. He's leaving before this year is over which means he'll be back at the end of 2012 which is the end of the year when I graduate from Snow :) I'm so proud of him for deciding to go! He's so happy and he just can't wait!

I love missionaries and the church really needs lots of them. There is so much work to be done and the Lord needs all of our help! I know Elder Ziegler will do great things :) It will bless the both of us tremendously! Thanks to all who came or wished him congrats!

Here are some pictures of the night!


(All the guesses of where we thought he'd go!)
