Donut of Misery

I have no idea if any of my readers are curious as to what a "Donut of Misery" is. And believe me, I didn't know either. I am apart of a "Waiting For A Missionary" group on Facebook and I kept reading about this Donut of Misery and the girls talking all percentage and stuff. I couldn't figure it out! Then I found a link, and this is what they've been talking about :)

It just shows how much percentage you have done, how many months, days, weeks left and how many have gone by. It is a little depressing, not gonna lie, but helpful in a way.

I've been missing my sweetheart terribly today, but this group has kinda lifted me up. I'm hoping that this week will get better, but today I've just been sad. I feel like nobody understands. Even his family, I feel is a little standoff-ish towards me and it makes me sad :(

It's also extremely hard when I opened up Brady's letter on Friday and he just went off about how homesick he is, and how he misses me. And I'm encouraged not to say the same back; but it's so hard!! :( Today was the first day since Brady left, that I've actually cried over him being gone. I just want him. I just want a hug from him. I just want to hear his voice. I just want to be next to him, with him, forever. But I've only been in this 1.5 months and I'm already complaining. I need to stop too. Brady is doing something amazing and I need to do something amazing.

I'm really busy this semester, and It's been good for me. As much as I hate feeling like I have no time in the day to do anything, it's good for me. I'm going to read the Book of Mormon again, 1. Because I've missed reading it every night. 2. Because I want the blessings 3. I want to feel the Spirit 4. I need the knowledge from it 5. It's true 6. It brings happiness and peace to my soul 7. I read it in two months, I can do it again :) Also, I'm just getting into crafting, spending good time on my quilt, working full hours (even when I don't want to) spending time with my friends, writing letters, blogging, doing homework, studying, eating right and working out, going to church, praying, going to the Temple. There is SO much that I need to be doing, am doing, and could be doing right now in my life, and I've only got two years to do it. I want to study abroad or volunteer over the summer internationally. Wouldn't that be sweet!? I think so :) Also, my first nephew is coming next month! I'm stoked :) I want to send Brady a package but I have no idea what to put in it!! Any ideas??

Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Sunday, and has a good week!
