Smiling oh how ive missed you

He has been gone one whole month that means only 23 more to go! It has gotten so much better in the last week or so, Ive bumped into old friends and got to hang out with some good friends. This coming weekend will be a fun time i am sure, i get to go to the movies with my assumed cousin, we will call her Kelly, being that i don't have her permission to write about her. and then Sunday is a family party at Nate's house, i am really excited and may bring my newest addition Kloe, a two pound puppy, with me. I have just had a wonderful week with lots of inspiration and prayers answered.

Nate is doing fantastic, he is learning alot about himself. At times he looses himself in the service and that is a great thing. Although being apart is not ideal, i still  get those moments when i read his letters and fall in love with him all over again. Besties for life.

Status: Still waiting, just a little more patiently. 1Year, 10 months and 28 days left to go

The Best of all days a

Well we can jump for joy, i can go a couple of days with out crying. Thursdays are letter days, which also happens to be the night of my institute class. I just love Thursdays, its the best day of the whole week. Well Nate is doing fantastic. He is learning so much about himself and the church. He says the sweetest things and its always what i need to hear. I am so happy as his best friend that he is having this experience. As his girlfriend, i am happy he went but sad that he is gone. The tears have stopped though, and i can talk about it with out sadness.

Nate in his letter was curious if i had found another boyfriend. Silly boy, he doesn't realize that i don't miss having a boyfriend nearly as much as i miss having him around. He is so funny, and crazy, clearly irreplaceable.

Happy to be a part of this for now.
P.S. Next Thursday will be the one month mark. that's 23 left to go

Letters to Home

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive two letters on thursday afternoon. I had given up just the day before on waiting for the mail to arrive. Thursday as the mail lady delivered our mail, my mother asked if i would like to get the mail, i said no with a sigh. As she rushed in to the living room she was screaming JESS it came it came!! I burst into tears before i could even rip the first one open. The first letter told about his experiences that he had that week and it was so perfect, he included a list of things that i was aloud to do while he was gone. NOT dating was on the list twice and weaving him a sweater was second on the list.
The second letter was in regards to how frequently that we should write. We had planned only to write once a month before he left.... now it is once a week which is much kinder to the both of us.
So for now grateful for the postal services and thursdays.
