Day 1

Well, as of today, Brady and I have been together for 6 months now :) I can't believe it! He's leaving to England on our 1/2 year anniversary! I'm so excited though!! It's finally here and starting!! I can't wait for my first letter and to see him grow and to be right beside him as he does that. He's going to learn so much while on this mission and I'm so proud of him :) It was SUPER hard today, and I know it won't continue to get easy for a while, but this is what the Lord needs us to both be doing in our lives and I have to be on that same page. I know this will bless the both of us and bring many blessings to us in the future no matter what road the Lord has us both take! :)

I love you :)

Brady was set apart tonight at 7:00. I was just, out of my mind I couldn't believe it. I started counting down the hours at four till I could call him a missionary. We talked for a minute and fifty eight seconds on Skype and when he had to get off, my heart broke and I bawled. I called my mom and then my roommates and I went to Orem to eat Chic-fil-a and to help cheer me up! It was fun and I'm glad I went. But when 7:00 came around, my heart froze, and I stood in the spot I was in and couldn't move. Reality hit HARD that I couldn't text him, call him, Skype him... nothing. He was the Lord's now and I needed to be okay with that. I almost started crying but I had to remember that it's starting now. Day 1 is coming close and after that, it'll be one day closer to being with him again! I have faith and I know I can do this. I know I can get through these two years!! I love him!

Mini M&M's - 730!

My first Chic-fil-a meal without Brady.
That is a place we loved to go together!

It's going to be hard. I've already felt that and it's only day 1. But I'm so grateful for the support I feel from his family, my family, my roommates, friends, leaders, and many other people as well. I'm so grateful for them and I know I can get through this, just bear with me and believe in me.
