Well here we are, week one is over. Only103 weeks left to go. Tuesday Nates mom received a letter for the whole family from my missionary. It was all good news, he is having a grand time and is learning a lot. He has a companion named Elder Dyer, and the two of them seem to be working out well for each other.
I sent Nate 2 letters so far.... No personal responses but however my name was mentioned in the letter to his family... Well any how i had asked him in one of my letters if i could send him cookies, he responded in the family letter that it was okay to send cookies and that his companion had already received four boxes and that we were slackin.. So i replied yesterday upon reading the letter. I printed off a picture of a dozen cookies and then i cut them all out. I put them in an envelope with a small note that read: My dearest Missionary, If you want real cookies, i want a real handwritten letter. Love Jess. Now before i get an angry mob allow me to explain that i am only trying to provoke a smile in my missionary. Still having a hard time that he is gone, but i have managed to smile once in a while.

The first day is always the worst
Tuesday night i had to bid farewell to my prince. It was hands down the worst experience i could ever imagine. As we both sobbed goodbye he and I promised to keep this thing going, so here we are.
Wednesday morning i woke up about nine, which was fortunate because i didn't have to worry about the flight, it was already landed by time i got up. I worked on some homework and cleaned my room. by two my mother declared that i needed to eat something, so i dove to Wal mart and bought some Ben and Jerry's half baked ice cream and two frozen pizzas. As the cashier began to ring up my merchandise, he asked me if i was having a wonderful day.... I replied with i am buying ice cream and frozen pizza what kind of day do you think i am having? he laughed and did try ever so hard to save him self.
The things i have learned this far, i never realized how much he made me smile through out the day, the text messages of simply goodnight are the hardest thing to get over. Ive dreamt of him for the last two nights, its the day before he leaves both times, and its disappointing to wake up and find that he is already gone. Sad for now, but i am sure that it will improve with time
