Brady's Homecoming Talk

Brady's homecoming talk brought snow, just like it did on his farewell day. I just couldn't believe my own eyes today. I cannot believe these two years are over. It really went by so much faster. Obviously I think that now that he is home, but I can still remember saying goodbye to my sweetheart on a snowy December day. And here I am, walking into the church holding his hand, with excitement to hear the talk he has prepared to give. It is the best feeling in the world. Knowing that he isn't going anywhere anymore; that he will be here to stay, forever.

He did a great job! My family came, including my cousins Skye and Ty! They live so far away, but I'm truly grateful they came out to hear Brady talk! They've become pretty good friends with him, so it was nice to have them there. I'm also really glad my family came to support Brady. It means a lot! And of course, it's always fun to be around Brady's family. They're such good people! We had lots of foods and really yummy sweets! Our friend Quinn returned home from his mission 2 days after Brady, so he came! It was awesome! Katie, Quinn, Brady and I were like the 4 best friends before they both left on their missions, and it is so awesome to be hanging out with them again!

And Brady looked SO cute in his suit from England with his pocket watch and all ;)

It is so nice to have him home :) People ask me if it's true when they say it feels like they never left, and though I agree, I don't. I agree in a way that, Brady is the same. Him and I are the same, our relationship is the same, but stronger of course. But I disagree because I can also feel that we've both changed. I went through so much, and he did as well. We both grew up, we were shaped and molded into different children of God. I will always know that we went 2 years without each other, so I will always feel like we went a really long time without each other (which we did, but it went fast). I don't know how else to explain it other than I agree and disagree. But it did just feel completely normal when he got home. It was a bit weird the first few days, but I think I just was in shock and overwhelmed from the reality of him being home. Everything with us has gone perfectly smooth. Everything we do together, and have planned and/or talked about is just seriously falling into place. It's all just working out for us, and we both know with what the next year looks like, it is what's right for us. I've never felt so content, happy, and sure about anything in my life like I have Brady and our future.

I'm seriously so blessed. So grateful. To know that Brady is the one, is the best feeling in the whole world. Like they say, you don't ever find "just one" person to be with because you truly can be with anyone, but Brady is the one of anyone that I'm going to be with forever. And I cannot tell you how happy that makes me. I seriously feel nothing but peace. It's incredible feeling this way, knowing you've found the love of your life.

I'm obviously a sucker for romance and love stories, and feelings, and just.... anything that has to do with love and people finding their other half forever. A lot of that influence is the gospel. The knowledge that I have that Brady and I are going to be together forever, makes our relationship much more meaningful. It's not ever going to be til death do you part. We're never going to part. We are forever. And I couldn't be happier :)
