Special

I must say, it's been a rough week but I made it through. Brady has almost been gone a week! I've missed him so much :) I finally saw pictures of him when he was at the airport and I almost cried (You can see them here). It was so hard even seeing pictures of my babe leaving.. But I can't wait to hear from him and I hope that if his family gets an email tomorrow, that they'll inform me of how he's doing! :) I'm so excited to hear from him!! I can't wait till I get my letters from him :) I've been writing him everyday since he left, about my days and what I've been up to till I get a letter from him and then I'll just send them all! I hope he's doing okay, especially with the time change. He is definitely so sweet though, he put together a box full of quotes signed and kissed by him so that when I have a bad day, I can pull out a quote and have a better day. I thought that was very nice of him!

I had a rough time the other night, and I really missed him. When I really think about it I get sad, but that's why they say, stay busy so that you won't think about it and get all sad. I woke up and my roommates made breakfast and it was so yummy! I decided I couldn't sit around and just sulk. So I got up, cleaned my room, washed my bedding, folded clothes, and finished homework and organized it for my last week here for fall semester!! So then I felt much better. Then to a surprise for all of us, my roommates came home with a puppy :) Then my roommate Jade and her fiance went and got the boy :) We have two puppies. Mollee and Trigger. They're SO stinkin cute. They're stinkers themselves but it's been fun having puppies, and falling in love. It was like they brought so much happiness to me that day. I was really glad they brought them home.

Mollee :)

Then later that night, we all decided to watch a movie together and Lexi and I were writing things to our missionaries. She let me read a little of what her missionary wrote her, and my spirits were lifted again. I felt comfort and happiness and so grateful she let me even read as much as she did. Missionaries are amazing people. They're so spiritual and connected with the Lord that I wish I were with them all the time. I'm so lucky to have a missionary out there that can share that with me too :)

Today was fast Sunday! I was too sick to fast, which I was sad about but you do what you can and the Lord knows the intent of your heart. So I went to church with my neighbors and I bore my testimony of the Book of Mormon and how much I've witnessed miracles and the comfort that it's brought me from reading it everyday. I've been so happy and if I miss out, my day is off and I feel out of place. It's become apart of me and my everyday and I can't ever go a day without it, and if I do, I feel terrible. When I got home from church I had this feeling to check my gmail account. I've had this feeling all week long since Brady left but I never did anything because I knew he wasn't going to send anything there. So I checked it and sure enough, I had an email from him. It said, "It is November 9, and I just found this thing that would allow me to send you emails that would come later :)))))))))))))))))))) You will be getting emails on Valentine's day, your birthday, and Christmas." Cute huh?? I seriously smiled SO much when I read it. I read it a million times over and I couldn't stop smiling. I love him so much, he's so caring and it's so sweet to have been thoughtful a whole month before he left! He's the sweetest missionary and I'm so lucky to know him and someday spend forever with him.

Say it's too soon to be saying that about him but I just know it. I'm finally so happy and I'm okay without dating other boys and trying to find someone to like me for who I am because Brady loves me for who I am and more. Gosh, I'm so grateful for him! He's made me feel so special. I feel like the most wonderful person in the world because of him. I want to be a better person because of him, and to do good, and to just laugh when life throws things my way that may upset me, Brady is always there to help me remember to just laugh. Sometimes I get tired of teasing but when it's from Brady, I'm grateful for it. I hope I can get through these first six months and the rest of the years easily because I deeply miss him but until then, I hope I get a letter soon!!

Happy Sunday :)
