Lucky Number 7 :)

"Those notes you wrote me; I've kept them all.
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall.
With every single letter in every single word,
There will be a hidden message about a boy that loves a girl"

Today is a great day kiddos :]
My sweet man has been away from here for 7 months! It has gone by so quickly! Month 6 is the fastest to go by! I cannot believe how close I am to his year mark :) Everything is just going so swell!!

The picture I posted is of us at our favorite place. I wanted to go there so badly tonight, but it's still extremely weird being there without him, because the only person I ever went there with was him ♥ I really appreciate all the support I've received from those who care about him and I, and this process. It's really comforting when people ask me how I'm doing, or they just simply say, "I understand." It makes this journey a lot easier.

I feel great though :) Life is going good, I'm just missing him in my life right now. But it's okay :) I've got a great job! I love my job! :) Happy people, I love serving the members as well! I've joined the YSA Ward in my Stake and it's fabulous, I've actually received a calling. (First time announcing it ANYWHERE online.) And I've been doing my best by putting myself out there and going to the activities and making friends. It's been wonderful! :) I'm really excited for school in the fall, even though it will prolly be hard, I'm ready to make these last two months of summer wonderful, and then put everything I have into schooling.

I worry that I'm wishing these two years away too much.
I do in fact wish it'd go faster, but not all the way. I think the excitement of having Brady home and possibly marrying him with die fast, and it will be just like it was before he left (not that I'm complaining), but I want to make these two years worth the wait. Worth while, and then when he gets home I can get excited and such, I don't want to spend two years keeping my heart on edge. This whole process has been crazy for me. I've written missionaries since I was a Miamaid in Young Women's. I know the drill, I know what it's like not to get letters anymore, I know what helps them, and what doesn't. And all that stuff, but actually having a missionary is a complete 180 degree turn. But I'm extremely grateful for it! :)

Brady recently sent me two letters and they are by far the best (except the Valentine's letter! :) That one will always be my favorite!) and I know they'll keep me going for the next week/1.5 weeks until I receive another one! Also, he said he'd be sending me something around my birthday if he can, and that's in a little over a month!!! AND I get an email he sent me way before he left, on my birthday!!! :) Waaahhhoooooo ♥ I can do this. I can wait for those things. And by the time I'm done with fall semester, Brady will only have 10.5-11 months left :) Hahaha yippeeeeee! I'm a happy camper! :)

Anyways, there is my 7 month post. OH, we've also been together for 13 months, and he has.... 17 months left!!! :O awesome.
I can't even begin to tell you how lucky I am to have such a wonderful, gentle, caring, loving and freaken good looking boy in my life! :) 512 days left ♥

Oh. my. goodness. I. know. how. you. feel. Im so jealous of all these couples that are married and allready have their two years over with -.- haha.

I'm not even official with my missionary so my worst fear is that somebody else will be waiting for him and he'll pick her over me.

Try not to be bitter though, just know that he's out there doing the lords work and making the best missionary ever. Good luck to you :)
