MY Christmas Package Part 2!

I have the sweetest boyfriend ever :)

The best missionary ever.

I love him so very much.

Remember when I received a package?

About 3 weeks ago?

Yeah, I've waited that long.

Well, Christmas Eve came around and I was really excited to tell my aunt that I got to open it tomorrow; she has a missionary out too, and knows what it's like to get a package! So then her and my mom thought I should open it right then and there. Everyone kind of got quiet, so it was a little awkward but I was so very excited it didn't even matter :) I opened it up and pulled out a box, card and what looked like a keychain. I opened the card and on the front was the picture of a fruitcake and it said "Happy Christmas, Fruitcake!" :) Hahaha, thanks babe.

I looked at the keychain and noticed it was the rival soccer team of the first keychain he got for me. Hahaha him and his keychains; mine is going to be full! Afterwards I opened up the box, and my aunt yelled out, "Is it a ring??" Hahaha my heart kind of jumped. It turned out to be a gorgeous necklace with matching studs. I'm seriously so spoiled by him. It wasn't a lot, but it really meant so much to me. I'm so grateful for this Christmas package, and waiting to open it made it that much more special. I also wore that jewelry today :)

This morning I forgot about something special. Member this? Well, after I received my email on my birthday this year, I wasn't sure if Brady set it up for the last year he'd be gone too. I was wrong. After setting up my iPod and playing around for a bit, my phone went off. It said I had an email for my gmail account, which is rare because I don't use that one for a lot of things. I opened it and it read "Brady Ziegler," in bold letters. Eek! You can only imagine my excitement! My heart stopped. I opened it up and realized what it was. He sent me an email for this Christmas too! So I'm just hoping this means I'll get one in February AND in August, again. :) Gosh, I'm seriously so lucky! He is such the cutie. I love him so much!!

I cannot wait until he's home! Yeah, I didn't get to talk to him today, but that's okay! I hope his family had a wonderful time seeing him this year and catching up! To be honest, I'm just going to use this as a future benefit. The next time Brady see's me or hears my voice, I want to be a new woman. I want to be matured and grown up, and have changed, but still someone Brady is in love with :) Cheesy, I know, but true!

Something else that really means a lot to me is what my Grandma gave to me for Christmas this year.

I about cried. It is the cutest thing ever. That picture is also one of my very favorites :) But something else that made me want to cry, was this:

See that picture in the top right corner? That's Brady and I :) This is the picture frame my grandma made for my family. It really touched my heart, that she thought of including Brady and I. It just makes the picture frame so much more special to me. I really can't wait until he is home and in my family pictures for eternity :) Gosh. I love Brady and this Christmas has strengthened that love even more! Until next year...... when he's home! ;)
